Happy Late Valentine's Day!

Yes, we are still alive. Things are finally starting to feel settled and I feel like I have things together on most days. We absolutely love our new house and our new neighborhood. If only the weather would warm up so that we could really venture out and play in the yard or something - I am so anxious for Spring!

Valentine's Day was fun. Caylin told me several times the week before "Happy Heart Day!" Once she even came up to me and gave me a big hug and kiss, just because. When I asked her why, she said, "Because it's Heart Day and I love you!"

In the middle of getting ready for church that morning, she asked if she could hold Bree. Here are my two little love bugs almost ready to go:

Here's Caylin showing off her loot from the Valentine's Box:
princess shoes

princess snacks


Man, she looks old in this picture! I can't believe she's almost three!



daddy's new 1 liter mug to hold the entire can of Fresca



Bree fell asleep before we opened presents, so she got hers the next morning - a baby-proof picture book


I love these two little girls. Caylin is more into reading the books to us than being read to, so the other night she read to Bree

this is my bug. I have decided that I think she is really in my favorite stage right now - she can't really get around too much, can't talk back, is so intrigued by everyone and everything, and is just so stinking cute.


she has started solid foods, and apparently there was another side of Bree bottled up in there somewhere because when it comes to food, she becomes a little monster! She loves it and can't get enough!
