February started off with a visit from Grandma and Grandpa. They came down to spend time with us, see the new house and to help Justin with some repairs that needed to be done. We had a great time together.
Just before Valentines day we got mail! The kids love getting packages in the mail and you can tell by their faces how excited they were to receive a card from Great Grammy, and packages from Grandma and Grandpa and from Ooda and Poppy. Thanks for thinking of us!
On February 10th our friend Sophia got a little Brother! Here is a picture of Nathan and me from the hospital. He looks so tiny...but he was already so big: 10 pounds! Congratulations to Sophia and her mommy and daddy.
Since Sophia's mommy and daddy were at the hospital, Sophia got to spend a few days with us. The kids all had fun playing together and I think it's safe to say that Connor adores her. We loved watching all of them be silly together.
Next it was time for Baby Karlie's first birthday. Baby Karlie is one of Gianna's favorite baby friends (we even have a doll named after her). The kids had so much fun playing at the party and especially loved the horses to ride on.
Gianna liked the bouncy one best:Connor liked the mechanical one (although we think he wanted it to go faster).
Last week was the beginning of Lent. We went to Ash Wednesday mass and tried to get pictures of the kids before they wiped off their ashes...we were pretty unsuccessful (you can see Connor's a little more than Gianna's).
Other than that we've been keeping busy trying to get the house cleaned up, decorated, unpacked, organized and moved-in. We've also been spending time exploring the parks in the area and doing lots of crafts. Hope you've been having fun too!(As a side-note, I have been writing more about the kids on facebook, but since I gave up facebook for lent I might have a little more time to blog....we'll see)
