Valentines

Brooke wanted to write letters today to her cousin's in Virginia for Valentines Day.  I helped her spell but she did the rest by herself.  She did such a great job!  She is learning so much so fast.  We are so proud of her.

Cole made one for Michael too but I forgot to take a picture before we put it in the envelope.

Sick

Seems like we have had a new sickness every week since Christmas at our house.  We've had everything from the stomach flu to nasty viruses.  And we just keep passing them around... hoping this month is better!

I was sick all last week.  I missed a 10 mile run Saturday and 3 more runs early in the week.  If you know me, you know I must feel like crap not to run.  Then it was Bai's turn.  I knew she wasn't feeling well when this is how I found her one afternoon... asleep on the living room floor.  The next day she broke out in a horrible rash... doctor said it was just a virus.  So far no one else has gotten it!

Children's Museum

Early in January I went to Discovery Gateway with a friend from our old neighborhood.  The kids loved it so much I bought a membership.  We've been back several times and even my little Bai has lots to do.  It is hard to get pictures because they never hold still for very long.  I HIGHLY recommend it if you live in the area.

Cole loves dressing up and driving the firetruck

I could not get her out of this car.  She loves driving like the big kids.

She also loves that she can stand up to the water table.  I keep hoping she's going to walk soon... she's totally capable and will often just stand all by herself for a few minutes, but will never take more than a couple steps.  Lazy!
