February is here already????? I can't keep up. January was fun and we had a great start to the year. All of the remodeling was done and we have thoroughly enjoyed the house being back to normal for the most part. We have also loved having another big snowfall. The kids had a blast playing in the snow and sledding was great again. Eli had fun playing in the snow with a bucket and shovel. We had icicles on our house that were about 15 inches long. It was a beautiful picture. Landon and Mike have been going to several of the Wake Forest games and having a lot of fun. We have also had several play dates since the New Year and looking forward to a lot more.

Landon has almost finished his Geography book and his Math book for the year but we have decided to push forward to the next year's books so that we can keep him going. He has also been talking about t-ball and excited for the spring to get that started. Ella still has a love hate relationship with preschool. It doesn't help when we have 3 days off a week for snow. She loves her class once she is already there but doesn't ever want to go in the mornings. Outside of that she has enjoyed doing lots of crafts since Christmas and is still drawing and coloring all the time.

Eli shares his sister's love hate relationship with preschool. Although he only goes twice a week when we have extended time away (as we have for the last 3 weeks due to holidays, teacher workdays and now snow) he doesn't adjust to going back. He is growing up a storm and talking so much now that it amazes me. This morning he was up at 5 and while Mike and I were still trying to catch a few z's he was randomly counting 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20. He was very bright eyed for 5 in the morning unlike his mom!!!!

Looking forward to February and 6 more weeks of winter. Planning on going skiing some and taking Landon and Ella for their first attempt. Landon is also counting down the days until my birthday even though I was thinking about skipping a birthday this year and waiting until next year to count it.
