February Highlights

February was marked by Jeff's trip to Florida to visit his parents for some golf & sunshine, while the kids and I did a few secret projects around the house. None of those activities are represented below, but I wanted to mark the passage of time some how....
(Oh, and how can February pass without a birthday greeting to one of my only followers - Happy 30th, AM!)
 

Mel is convinced she's the first person ever in her family to be published in the paper for any reason.  The drawing on the left is hers.

Just a random moment I caught them in

Joey is in the front row, about a third of the way from the left.  Celebrating with Blue!
