Fun Times in February!!

Before we get to the February Fun, I have to post two more pictures illustrating Archie's uncanny ability to get stuck. You can see in the second picture that he really enjoys being stuck. The first picture...not so much.


Gramma and Papa came up for a week in February, and we had Valentine Cookie decorating fun, and cousin slumber party fun.

Mike's sweet Valentine for Lucy and Mommy.

The kids got little valentines for the whole week, and a new valentine on their door every day of February until Valentine's day. It was fun.

We went to another hockey game; almost front row seats!


And had the first of hopefully many, family walks.

Lucy had her second of 3 black belt tests, which she PASSED!!

Archie kept being cute.


Then, Lucy and I were off to Salem, Oregon for Aunt Juliet's baptism! Lucy had fun with Baby Kollister, and all her other relatives, and she even got to sing with Aunt Ruth and Surrogate Aunt Tracy in the musical number!!

Here we are with "double-cousins" Tom and Margie.


This is a picture of some Johnson girls in front of the silliest proportioned mannequin we found in Portland!! Finally, a store that sells clothes for "real" women!! Hee Hee.


Juliet and Tracy after the baptism.



While we were in Salem, Mike kept the boys busy, or kept busy with the boys...depends on how you look at it!

Lucy had to get her tongue clipped so she can do the speech therapy exercises to get her pallate aligned so her bite will be as it should be...whew! Our bishop is a facial plastic surgeon and an ENT, so he performed the procedure. She was so brave. No tears, and healed up so quickly. Here is a dramatically different before and after:



I sneak in while Archie's sleeping sometimes and take pictures of his fun positions. Here is a mini-montage.






Elliott used to do this for hours. Archie got a good 5 minutes of fun out of it.
