I haven't been on here in awhile but I feel like there isn't a whole lot to report. February is the shortest month of the year but definitely feels like the longest. We have been cold, cold, cold, but thankfully there has been snow along with the cold. With the hope of helping to usher in the spring, I have started a few of my early seeds and a couple of them have sprouted! Yay for green!
Garrett went to LA for four days for a work conference and he got to enjoy some sunshine and warm weather. The kids and I survived while he was gone and tried to entertain ourselves as best we could.
Addy has been heavily involved in the high school choir, Bonnevaires. Last night, they put on their annual dinner show and we were happy to have grandma and grandpa and Ian join us there. It was so fun and Addy did a terrific job especially on her solo pieces.
Emerson has been wood carving things but just recently turned his attention to metal working. He is very eager to build a forge so he can make his own knives and machete. Who knows where this is going to lead to! He has been enjoying his scout troop and survived his snow cave camp. He said his cave only got down to zero degrees and he was quite toasty.
Eliza now has a bunny. I real live, fluffy, breathing one. His name is Opie and she loves him like crazy. Her fiddling is going really well and her ear is quite astounding.
Henry can't get enough of cars and Legos. He can name every fancy car out there and is constantly on the look out for fancy cars on the road. There aren't too many of those on Idaho Fall's roads however. Henry told me that when he grows up he is going to be a car collector. He is going to build a barn that won't be for animals but for his machines. I asked him how he was going to pay for all his cars and machines. He answered that he was going to be a rocket scientist. I don't doubt it!
Millie has taken off with her reading thanks to Gerald and Piggie. She is preparing for her first piano recital and is a little nervous about it. I told her we could play duets and then I'd be able to go up with her. She liked that idea so we chose some songs that had a duet part. Only after a day of practicing, she had MY part figured out on the piano! I can't keep up.
Speaking of keeping up, Dane is all over the place and doing all he can to try to walk. He pulls himself up on everything and only holds on with one hand. Usually he will let go just to see if can stay standing. He's in the phase of a lot of head bonks and bruises.
Life is good and we're counting down to spring! Now for some pictures!
