"The air is like a butterfly With frail blue wings. The happy earth looks at the sky And sings." - Joyce Kilmer, Spring

We were so glad to finally see the sun! We are all ready to start playing outside-I know Grayson is anxious to play in the big sandbox in the back!  Gray is really starting to string together 2-3 word sentences...we love hearing him talk and I am sure he is glad he can finally tell us what he wants--though that doesn't always go his way!  He is a good little boy-though he is most definitely 2!  His current catch phrase is "Can I have it?"

"Snowmen fall from heaven unassembled." -Unknown

We had a snowy middle and end of February...Gray really enjoyed playing out in the snow!  We spent the weekend of Valentines Day at my parents house, and then we celebrated the big day by taking Gray to experience his first Hibachi dinner--he was a little unsure of the big fire, but liked the show and the food! 

Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present, which very few of us do. ~Jean de la Bruyere

Our families came to town to help celebrate Kyle's 30th birthday (which I dont have that many pictures of-do any of you??) the weekend of February 6th.   My family stayed in town til Monday so we could watch the Superbowl and so we could all go play at Strong-Gray, Maddy, and Paige (who got to go with us since it was during the week) had a great time!  I dont think we have ever had a bad time at the museum--it was definitely worthwhile to get a family membership!

We've had bad luck with our kids - they've all grown up. ~Christopher Morley
