I will start by saying - February is the middle school month - not pretty winter, and not spring yet.  it is ugly outside and we just made it through. . . here are some highlights regardless of the weather!

each kiddo picked their valentine - lucia homemade and scooby, kinkade pop rocks, emery melted crayon hearts, and keagan picked a quote for every student in his class. 

they are buddies most of the time

okay. . . i am not a dog person. . but i have fallin head over heals for our new baby.  if i would of read that last line from someone else - i would of thrown up a little in my mouth:)  puppies are not babies - okay they are not, but we all LOVE this new puppy.  aaron calls him a prince! he is snuggly, he has the sweetest temperament,  easily trained, and oh so stinkin cute. and, i cannot stop taking pictures of him he is so darling.

the boys slept on either side of his crate the first three nights so he would not be scared.
