February 2021

Our kids love to come lay on our bed right when they wake up in the morning. Sometimes there are a lot of people all cuddled up together on our bed, but I do love this tradition.

Last Friday we signed our family up for Family Swim Night at Goldfish Swim School. It was so much fun! Emily and Leslie have been taking swim lessons the last few months and we were all so impressed with how much they have progressed. 

Sometimes Caleb feels left out when all of his sisters have bike helmets and he doesn't. So, he just put Emily's on!

This is what happens when you have three older sisters...

Abby was selected as the Student of the Month at her Preschool. We had a lot of fun filling out her poster.

She loves riding her bike. We haven't gotten much snow this winter, so our kids can ride their bikes in February!

Leslie's Kindergarten teacher was on Maternity Leave from October-January, so she had a substitute teacher for 3 months. She really loved her substitute and was very sad to say good bye to Mrs. Cahill.

Sometimes Leslie brings home the most adorable assignments from school. In this picture she was supposed to draw one thing that is special and unique about you. She drew herself playing with Abby and Caleb. So sweet!

3rd grade has been an interesting year for Emily, with most of the school year on the computer. She has become a really good reader this year and has been able to let so much of her creativity out. She always as some project that she is working on. There is always a mess wherever she goes, but at least she isn't bored!

She was very proud of this Barbie outfit she made entirely out of ribbon.

Last weekend we went over to a friend's house for dinner and games. The kids put on a little play on for the adults, and while they were doing it, a lamp fell on Emily's head. She started bleeding quite a bit, but thankfully we got her all cleaned up and there was only a tiny cut.

She was a big girl and hardly even cried!

A few days later, my sister-in-law was in a bad skiing accident and broke her collar bone. We went over to see her when she was done with sugery.

We're so happy she is okay!
