February 2020

This month, we decided to visit the animal shelter and walk some of the dogs.  Emily is too young to walk them by herself, but Brendan is old enough.  We went as a family, so the age restriction didn't matter since Steve and I could also walk the dogs.  We had a really nice time and met some very cute, nice dogs.  The most difficult part was leaving them all there when it was time to go home to our sweet boy, Rocket.



Emily decided she wanted to make her very own dress.  I had gotten some patterns, and we went to the fabric store and she picked out fabric she liked.  I helped her a lot, but she did some of the sewing all by herself.  It turned out very cute!

We ended February going on a bike ride with some of our best friends.  Here's Emily and her best friend Charley.  It was a great month!

12th Birthday

Poor Brendan. Today, February 20, 2020, he turned 12! He's been in bed with a massive migraine since yesterday after school. The special muffins I made him for breakfast are still sitting here, he hasn't even seen his gifts waiting for him on the table, and his DQ cake will be staying in the freezer tonight. I hope he is feeling better tomorrow so he can enjoy everything!!

Feb 23 - He still has a fever and severe sore throat - but ice cream cake sounded like it might feel good on a sore throat, so we finally got to try some and sing happy birthday to the 12 year old. Happy birthday, Brendan. - 12 years of love and sunshine from this sweet boy!
