February Happenings

Our days have been busy.  Warmer temps have come and melted the snow away, so we've been enjoying some much needed time outside.  The boys are doing really well.  We had a good parent/teacher conference with Jacoby's teacher.  He's doing great in first grade and we're really pleased with his teacher and progress.

Justin continues to work extremely hard on his dissertation.  He's hoping to have it mostly completed by the time he starts teaching his graduate course at the end of March.  I'm working hard to keep my head above water.  I found out on Friday that I'll be able to stay at home on Tuesdays and Thursdays this summer with the boys.  So looking forward to it!
   

 Jacoby's Valentine's Day box

The boys' Valentines

 Always doing art projects...

 I found winter coats and boots for the next few years at the thrift store...all for $17!

 We've been watching the Olympics, and sometimes we have picnic dinners too

 The boys got a Lego table (my first Ikea hack) and small Lego sets for Valentine's Day

 We spent a lot of time outside, enjoying the beautiful weather.  The piles and piles of snow have melted, for now.

 Jacoby has been saving his allowance for weeks and did some extra chores to be able to make a special purchase

 And here it is...he's been talking about this set for awhile.  He put it together all by himself.

 Snack at the park

 Enjoying the three-day weekend...a typical morning at our house

 An upcoming event next weekend...Jacoby invited a couple of friends over from school.  We're excited to celebrate his special day.
