Valentine’s Day

Our Valentine’s Day tradition is to make heart shape pizzas. We had a fancy dinner at home complete with flower centerpiece and candlelight. The kids loved it! We also let them have special Creamsicle sodas for drink (the bottom right picture is the soda backed by candlelight). Stormy even joined us for a snack.

Eve and Ellie

Eve was wearing the same outfit (including the shoes) that Ellie wore when she was first walking so we tried to catch a similar picture with Eve. Ellie was 11 months and Eve is almost 16 months.

Crazy Hat Day

Nate had spirit week a couple of weeks ago and here he and Daddy are wearing our hard hats for crazy hat day.

Space and Science Night

Nate’s school had space and science night last week. They made 2 liter bottle rockets, we went in a blow up planetarium, and made another type of rocket among other activities. Oma got to go with us since she was in town that day. Eve spent most of her time walking up and down the hallways. She did like going in the planetarium.

Random pictures

Eve loves to brush hair including her own.

Eve loves her kitty.

Stormy has been cold lately. Here he is sleeping on Ellie’s Pillow Pet.

Eve wasn’t feeling well but she has a great brother and sister who tried to take good care of her.

Zoo on a beautiful afternoon

Nate had a half day today and I  (Mandy) flexed the afternoon so we could go to the zoo as a family. It was a beautiful day for it and not busy at all.

 

Ellie appears to be holding up the udderless cow. Nate is pretending to milk it without udders.

Eve was so happy to just be walking around. The funny thing was she wouldn’t walk on the concrete that had air bubbles in it she would only crawl on it. She would only walk on the nice smooth concrete.

Eve liked the baboons.

Eve made it all the way to the top of the treehouse. If you look closely, we are in the window.

Eve is so proud of herself when she walks.

We got to see some of the normally sleeping animals awake.
