February...

 Julia does dance once a week and this week was parent observation day.  She had painted her nails that day and was SO PROUD that Luke got to come and watch her.  I know this is not a clear picture, but she was holding her hand up and saying, "If you see the girl with painted nails walk by Luke, IT'S ME...JULIA!"

waiting for class to start...

Elyse and Luke in our fort...

All three of my kids love their "silkers!"

Julia loves to help out in the kitchen.  Here she is rolling out some dough for pizza.  

We have had so much snow!  They climbed to the top and yelled, "king of the mountain!"  It looks like Doug is the only one enjoying the snow in this picture! 

We had a week of "warm" weather and everything melted.  We got our boots on and jumped in the puddles.  

Luke and Julia are great playmates.  (most of the time)

We made chocolate muffin for a family weekend.  Can you tell they got to "sample" the batter?

They wrote their names 16 times for their valentines.  This was a lot of hard work for them!  Notice Julia's hair...she did it herself that day!
