During February, we got to take an unexpected trip to Maine for a week. Unfortunately it was for a funeral, but we still got to spend some time with family we don't see nearly often enough! Here are Judah and his cousin Cassie. They are only 4 days apart in age. You saw them here over a year ago, less than a month old!! Cassie is a sweet little peanut, and Judah is a protective older cousin. He loves Cassie!
They really didn't cooperate for a nice picture, however. Too busy playing together!
Here is Rachel and her cousin Kevin..playing in the snow!
And of course, we have a cute, ever-growing boy in the house...
He is so much fun! He loves to tease and make fun of everyone. He also loves to read books...he will sit and read for quite a while by himself, and he'll let you read to him for hours on end.
He knows a lot of animal sounds and has no trouble pointing them out everywhere...in books, newspapers, and even a restaurant's Easter decor. He is pretty stinkin' cute! :)
During February I read both Christy
As with most fiction, there are always some things I wish they hadn't included in the story. I can't agree with every author in every book, after all! But on the whole I thought these were good, interesting books.
Christy
The story of Christy
The book Julie
I am just finishing up The Spiritual Secret Of Hudson Taylor
I was slightly disappointed in the writing style of this book. At times I was a bit confused as to what was going on, just because of how the book had been written. The book is still so worth it, however, so don't let the writing style deter you!
At mealtimes we've been continuing to read through the Grandma's Attic series. During February we read More Stories from Grandma's Attic
Here is a recap of what has been happening in blog land over the last month...in case you missed something!
My kitchen cleaning plan was the most popular post this month...for a reason! I am just loving the ease of my new system.
I {belatedly} had a photoshoot with my sisters to take their yearly pictures...and I still love how they turned out!
Of course February means Valentine's Day...my least favourite holiday of the year. I did manage to squeeze in my usual Valentin's craft however, and shared my DIY conversation hearts with you here.
Can each word I say be used to glorify the Lord? Yes, it can, and they should! I shared a bit of my heart as I struggled to find an answer when I was praised week after week.
It is a good thing I carry an emergency overnight bag...I got a chance to use it in a blizzard this month!
I'm striving for a monthly shop update this year...and February's addition was this cute Floral Fusions medium tote! I think this would be a great addition to your Easter outfit - a way to carry your Bible to church in style.
Our February Home Improvement linky party was fun - I enjoyed seeing what some of you have been working on this month! Have you checked out the posts that were linked up? There is some great inspiration there!
Well that is my recap of February. What did your February look like? Any unexpected roadtrips? Blizzards? Fun family time? Do share!
