February fun!

Caleb and Elena after the preschool Valentine's Day party. They had a good time and loved looking at (and eating) their valentines. If you look carefully, you can see traces of Caleb's Harry Potter glasses that he "wears" everyday. He is such a cute and fun boy!
Kevin scoots! What a big boy! Now that he's moving, I really have to watch him carefully. He puts EVERYTHING in his mouth. This has not been a good time for my vacuum to break. I have to use my little Dust Buster to get lint/etc. off the carpet. (Hopefully Dan will get a chance to take a look at it this weekend. He's a good handyman.)
My sister Bethany made this awesome sampler for Kevin, and my mom and I recently framed and hung it. Didn't she do a great job? I love it! Thanks, BB.
Thanks so much for ironing it, Mom. I was worried I would screw it up. It just looks perfect in his room.
Kevin really enjoyed seeing himself in the mirror of the toddler area at one of the local children's museums. I think you get a chance to see a little bit of scooting in this video too.

More museum pics: He needed some support to stay upright, but I can't believe he was big enough to sit on this with both feet touching the floor! He enjoyed himself.

Playing dress up!

Baby Games

Don't you love when little ones are finally old enough to play? This video is from Christmastime. Elena and I watched it the other day, and I just had to post it. Kevin's such a happy baby - sometimes he just can't contain his joy!

All our videos are dark and grainy now. How sad that a 4 year old camera is considered ancient?!

Family Photos

I have always wanted a wall in our house dedicated to family pictures. Many of my friends have one, and they always look so great. Well, the way our house is set up, there wasn't really a good spot. Plus, when we first moved in to this house, I suppose we didn't really have enough people in the family (just 2) to warrant a photo wall.

A couple of months ago I decided that it was time. I had already taken Elena to get her picture taken in May, and then I took both kids in December. So now I had the photographs. In January, I went to Michael's and bought the frames. I put them up over our piano and...Viola! Here is the finished arrangement. I know it's small, but I'm really excited. I can't wait to add to it over the years!
