Events from the last month

Sleepover
My friend Wendy was home for a couple of weeks to visit family & she came with her girls, Ellie & Katie, to spend the weekend. To make the most of the kids time together we went bowling, out for dinner (10 kids + 5 adults = crazy), and there was plenty of playtime at home. It was sad to see them go, but friends can always come home again.

Illnesses Continue
Brad, Sydney, Jason & our daycare provider were hit at various times over the last month with more illnesses. Thankfully, I keep seeming to escape. Brad & I traded off half-days at home when Jo was sick & this is what Jason chose to do on his morning home with his dad. Kids are weird sometimes.


Sunday Dinners
Brad & I have taken some of the pressure off his mom for Sunday dinners. We are now hosting one a month (I know, that still leaves 3 for her- but you have to start somewhere). It means I spend a day in the kitchen getting ready, but it means that I get to have my family fill my house more regularly & I love that. The kids seem to love it too, because they are just as wild here as they are at Grandma & Papa's.
Getting ready for Valentine's Day
Yesterday Brad & Sydney spent the morning making valentines for her class. It was a much longer project than Daddy anticipated.

Pictures I missed from the Xmas holidays
Brooke & Bailey spent a night with us & the kids always love to play with their cousins.
