I love FEBRUARY. We still have snow, but the days are getting longer and I get to decorate the house with MORE RED!!!
Lots of good things happen, and HAVE happened, in February:
1. Jeff and I got engaged on February 4, 2005--what a great day! I can't believe he surprised me when he asked me--I should've caught on after a day of flowers, breakfast at the OE, reading at my favorite coffee shop, painting pottery, and going downtown for dinner. Here we are on the bridge on our way to "go get the camera he left in the car"...sneaky, sneaky.
(These are the plates we painted that day: "January" by Ellie, "February" by Jeff)
2. Valentine's day is a great excuse to tell people that you love them--and a great excuse to take pictures of your child eating hearts.
3. My birthday! It's coming up! Nothing like a birthday to help you get through the blahs of winter...and this year Gracie is 9 months old on my birthday. I may or may not be turning 29...again.
4. College basketball is in full-swing...GO Zags!...soups are still excellent choices for dinner...and spring break is now in view on the distant horizon.
All-in-all, it's a 5-star month.

Yes, February is waaaaay better than January! It's just sooooo much closer to spring and sunshine. It's like you know you've made it through the worst and there is hope that things will thaw out (eventually). I always love your posts Ellie :) Enjoy your special month!!!

I simply cannot get enough of Grace's chubby cheeks, legs, arms, etc.! I LOVE the picture at the top of your blog!! Can I come over and play with Grace (and you) sometime? :)
