February In Twenty Fourteen

Michael finished his first class and is on his second - going strong despite working full time too.  He is pretty much amazing.  We are coming up on our 5-year anniversary and realized that we were engaged at this point five years ago.  Sweet memories.  I am so glad I am married to him.

Caleb is walking! (at 10 months old.)  Tonight I gave the boys a bath and it was fun to just watch them play.  Caleb is so pudgy and clumsy in the water.  He gets bumped by Carter and slips and splashes, but smiles the whole time.

Carter is getting tall and his imagination is growing too.  It is so fun to hear him talk to imaginary friends and to set up elaborate arrangements of toys and household items that you can tell are a whole world that he has created around himself.  It looks like a mess to me, but if I try to move any of it Carter lets me know that I am messing it up.  It is a mess with a plan - all set up by our little Carter.  I love watching him.

Today Carter and I raked the front yard.  It still has patches of snow, but needed cleaned.  Carter went through three pairs of shoes, socks, and pants while I worked because he kept getting wet and cold.  Caleb slept in the car with the window open for a much needed nap.  I got to open the windows in our house to let fresh air in.  I am so ready for summer.  It felt good to be physically active and accomplish something outside.  This winter has been too long and I am excited for warm weather up ahead!
