My Birthday!!!

Lots of snow on my birthday this year!  Jeff took the day off to spend with me--we went to Ladder Coffee for avacado toast and coffee to start things off...then we had lunch with his parents at QQ Sushi!

 Kelly had to send me the picture of Millie coming home on the "school bus" today.  Ben's been doing a lot of Butte plowing this winter...

Johnny Swim!!!  In June!!!  For my birthday!!!

Symmetry

This kid did this on his own.  Such focus.  I think he's advanced...

Too Many Books.

It's such a great problem to have.

Parker.

Micah is the Welcome Wagon at Sunday School--he attacks Parker with a hug every morning!

G'ma Trudy came to Spokane...

While Dad was Away...

We were sad.  The dinner table had a big hole in it.

 We were happy.  Puzzles always make us happy.

We went on field trips.  To Tomato Street, yummmm!  Micah wrote, "Hi Jef the cyclist with one F..."

 We were hungry.  We went to Applebee's one night to use a gift card.  When they went to run the card, though, it had ZERO on it.  How's that for irony?!?  Still fun.  Still happy to not cook dinner.

We were amazed.  A "phone book" showed up on our doorstep and Grace couldn't believe it.  "A book with everyone's phone numbers in it?!?  That's creepy!!!"

Mr. Lochhead Goes to Washington DC

Jeff had a great time in DC!  The conference was good, and the time in DC was amazing!  There was snow, so much of the city was shut down on the day that they got to go explore--IRONY!--but he got to see a lot of the city.  He kept sending pictures to us...
