February seemed to fly by in a flurry of basketball games, practices, snow, and more.
The biggest event of the month occurred last week when my family threw a surprise 40th birthday party for me.
Yes, you read that right, I am now the big 4-0! It really doesn’t seem possible but I am enjoying it so far.
I thought my birthday couldn’t get much better after my husband and kids took me to the movies, out to eat, and to JoAnn Fabrics. However, I was wrong.
My brother, my sister-in-law, and my parents orchestrated the whole surprise party and it was a lot of fun. I was really feeling the love and I am thankful to have had the chance to be reminded of just how much my blessings are overflowing.
Here are a few other pictures from February.
At the beginning of the month Julia received a gold medal at a solo contest. She sang beautifully but I won’t share the video since I was holding a very wiggly Janna. You can imagine how well it turned out. 😉
James’ 5th grade basketball team won their tourney and I have to admit I was on the edge of my seat the whole game. You would have thought they were playing the sectional finals by the way I was cheering. It was a close one.
For a couple of days last week Janna chose to smile like this every time I took her picture. At least I was able to get a good view of her tonsils and teeth. 🙂
My Joshua is such a sweetie, as evidenced by the conversation heart writing assignment he did on Valentine’s Day. My heart melted when I read it.
Snow continued to be a big part of February as it had also been in December and January. We are supposed to get another major winter storm starting tonight through Monday so I guess spring weather just isn’t ready to appear quite yet.
In January I posted a photo almost every day on Instagram but I wasn’t able to keep it up in February. Even so, here are the pictures I did take.
Most of my posts for February were about my 11 week quest for organization with a few crafty posts thrown in.
