Someone got into the Rummikub game during his quiet time and made a little display for me!
Superhero capes!
Michael taking Colt to school – Colt’s favorite!!
Finn needing some extra snuggles. I’ve never been a big baby-wearer but every now and then, we love it.
The best way to start a Saturday!
Family time at Sugar Shack Donuts!

Feeding and riding the dino.
Brothers!
February 10-12 was the Women’s Retreat at our church so Michael had the boys solo for the weekend. He was a total overachiever and did things like make them Mickey Mouse pancakes, take them out to the park, go to a friends’ house for a playdate, take them to church and EVEN to Chuck-E-Cheese (which, in retrospect, Michael says was mildly traumatic to do with both kids and only one parent).
Two happy faces.
Make that three.
Park picnics.
Chuck-E-Cheese!
I was thankful to have some sweet time away but am always eager to get back home to these faces!
Heart eyes.
Times two.
Finn’s favorite food might be raisins.
His little expressions just kill me!
Love them!
Upon my return, we got ready to celebrate Valentine’s Day! Colt and I made PINK rice crispy treats with sprinkles to send to school for all of his classmates.
Happy Valentine’s Day from this little heartbreaker.
A true romantic, Michael made sure that Valentine’s Day was special for me too. He got up early that morning and when I came downstairs he had breakfast waiting, flowers all about, cards from him and the boys AND he had reserved me a mani/pedi for that evening before then meeting him out for a dinner date. So thankful for how kind, thoughtful and fun Michael is – he’s always putting in the extra effort to make me feel loved and to make things that much more fun and celebratory.
Cheers! Amazing dinner at Kapnos Taverna.
We were excited to have a dear Phoenix friend, Eric, stay with us while he was in town.
“Chambo” bonding with Finn and Colt.
Mid-February we spent almost a week in Arizona doing a little early celebrating of Sharon’s 70th, but I’ll post separately on that trip next. Upon our return we enjoyed some unseasonably warm weather!

At the end of February I flew to SC for a quick weekend visit to spend some time with my grandparents as my grandmother was in the midst of a long recovery/rehabilitation from a broken leg. Michael was a champ-Dad and watched the kids solo for the second time that month!
Morning on the porch.
Sunday morning, ready for church!

My dad randomly had some business in the area so he had stayed with Michael and the kids the night before I came back home. When I arrived back in Virginia on Monday morning this is the cute little sight that I was greeted with.

Jeans & A T-Shirt 
Always wonderful!!
So so many adorable photos–I want to make a comment on each one! A few quick notes:
-Love all of Finn’s wubbys. Katherine LOVES her lambs!
-Colt is writing so well! I am impressed!
-The picture of them sitting on the back and looking into the yard is so precious!
Love and miss y’all!
