Farewell to February

February has been a brutal month.  Two back to back snowstorms, historical mounds of snow, and countless damage around the area to streets and property.  It has been overwhelming to everyone.  However, there have been some bright spots.  Making s'mores in the fireplace was one.  We've gotten a lot of use out of the fireplace this month.  We've warmed up, cooked meals, and pretended we were camping.
Other happenings included:

• Losing two pine trees--one fell on our deck, but luckily did not do too much damage
• The destruction of our pool--the cover caved in and subsequently began to destroy the liner
• Jensyn began the third quarter of third grade
• Rylan's progress in Pre-K became evident with a positive interim progress report....the boy is learning those letters and sounds--Yeah!
• Rylan began taking a Sports Sampler class at my gym
• My parents returned from a three week trip to Florida and back enjoying the sun and time with friends and family.....ah, to be carefree and retired!
• Taking down the Valentine decorations....come on March!
• The anticipation of Spring!  No one can take the cold or SNOW anymore!
