February

February was a good month, but I’m ready for March. Bring on the springtime!
A quick review of February highs:

• Moving back into our house- with MANY thanks to Laryn, Janel, and Alleia for letting us stay with them!
• Getting our lead clearance from the contractors (we’re still awaiting the clearance from the city. . .)
• Celebrating Caleb’s and Mary Ruth’s birthdays with a French-themed brunch.
• Celebrating Caleb’s birthday again with dinner at a new local restaurant and again with cupcakes at home.
• Celebrating Mary Ruth’s birthday again on February 29th– it merits a lot of celebrating since it only comes around once every four years!
• Watching New York beat the Patriots- not that we’re fans of either, but we deemed the Giants the lesser of two evils.
• Meeting new friends at the library’s story hour.

And the lows:

• Seeing our friends Sam, Sarah, and Eliana move to Kansas- especially hard for Simona, though she’s saying Eliana’s name less and less.
• Being sick- all three of us caught a flu bug that was not pleasant!
• Training for a marathon in 18 degree weather!
• Mija (our cat) bringing a dead bird into the house. Yuck!

New pictures are up, including one of the house facade post-lead abatement. The pictures of Simona putting her pink rabbit in the toaster oven are ironic, as Haeschen had a little “incident” in which she was damaged (but not destroyed) by a burner. Thank goodness she was saved– I don’t know what we’d do without her.
