Oy!

Yes, I realize that it has been almost a month without any blog updates from us.  It's been quite the month ( and good thing it was a short one!)


SO, without futher ado....

 
We made a trip to Wausau for the long President's day weekend.  We enjoyed celebrating Mom's birthday at Ben and Shannon's.  Ben J. cooked a very delicious Italian dinner and Ben S. made a pretty yummy carrot cake.

 

Ben also enjoyed the foot of snow that fell while we were in Wausau.  He couldn't wait to get out and enjoy the snow, so he jumped on the chance to clear the drive way!

 

 Yes, his hair is frozen!!

We also had a fun Valentine's Day.  We went out to breakfast and enjoyed some fun presents before I went to work. 

 

 Two of our Sing-a-ma-jigs helped us decorate sugar cookies that night.  Thanks to Becky for the awesome apron that lets our Sing-a-ma-jigs join us in the kitchen!

I also did a little crafting/sewing.  Mom started a sewing challenge blog and it's been fun to sew something new each month.  Here are some of my latest projects.

 

A burp cloth

Some hot pads

A ribbon wall-hanging

 

A car seat cover for a new niece (and perfect for Wisconsin weather!)

Our wildlife adventures continue in our apartment.  Remember these?  Last Sunday while we were sitting in our living room, we noticed this thing outside our window.

He was oblivious to us even though he came right up to the window.  He tried crawling into the hole right at the corner of the building (to go down under the stairs), but when he decided he couldn't make it in he tried crawling up onto our grill to check out any left over grub from the last time we used it in October.

Ben won the Regional ABA Mediation Representation competition held at Hamline last weekend.  That means he and his partner move onto the finals in Denver next month.  We have no pictures of this past weekend's competition, but we'll get some in Denver.

Now that you had a very quick recap of February and the beginning of March, I'm going to try better to keep things up to date.  But, now I need to get back to watching Wipeout.  I know.  We are really exciting.
