February

Today as I have been washing dishes and making food, the song June Bride has been in my head, particularly the parts about the winter months.

January, higher still, 
To the parlour window sill, February finds a drift And a storm that seems never to lift

Well, we haven't had tons of snow and nothing close to reaching our parlour window sill. There have been a few drifts, but only one small one after a little snow storm. However, we have had cold weather that seems to be sticking around.

And, this is all that has been happening around here lately.

We enjoyed a nice family candlelit dinner. We had both been wanting some lasagna, so we made up a pan of it and enjoyed it along with some heart cookies for Valentine's Day. Russell really liked having the candles. 

 We finally tried out Ben's Christmas present from Ben and Shannon: Bacon Bowls!

 There have been quite a few days where we haven't changed out of our pajamas. Russel and Meghan have both had colds the last several weeks. They have not been very chipper and Russell mostly wants to veg on the couch watching Curious George while I try to get Meghan to sleep. Anytime we've have been gone for a while, Russell asks if we can go home. He has also been asking to take naps.

Meghan has figured out how to feed herself. Now Ben and I have a chance to eat a little bit before she wants us to finish feeding her.

I am patiently waiting for the weather to warm up some because now we live close enough to the trail system that we can walk a couple blocks and be on the trails that go all over town.
