Winter Storms "Q" and "Rocky"

We had a record 21" of snow Thu-Tue, so I worked from home a lot to stay with the kids. Charli had a blast playing with them outside while I worked :)

Date Night

Amber and Nate came over so we could have a date night (yes!). We saw the super cheesy and cliched Nicholas Sparks movie Safe Haven, which was actually pretty enjoyable (and emotional). But restaurants were packed for Valentine's weekend, so we enjoyed a cozy dinner at Chipotle and it was perfect.

We're going to be building a new master suite on the back of the house, so we also checked out deep soaker tubs to see if Charli's incredibly long legs can fit in a normal 60" tub...sure enough, she's too tall for a normal tub and we need to redesign our bathroom to accommodate her amazing legs! ;)

When we got home early, Amber was playing musical chairs with the kids and letting Declan play his guitar to start/stop the music...we loved watching from the window outside. Then we hung out with the Bielers for another hour and everyone went to bed happy.

Waking up Graycie

Love my super cute beast!

Vaulting Dash

Charli caught Declan vaulting over the back of the couch and gave him a look, to which he responded, "Mommy, someday I'm gonna be a spy and I'll have to know how to do that. Really, I will!"

Gabe's Turn

Today Gabe wanted to sit in Graycie's car seat, LOL. He's GIANT in that thing!

My smarty pants Graycie

Graycie put 2 plates facing each other and said they look like a turtle, then held them up and said they look like a driver, then flat again and said they look like a sandwich. Creative genius at work ;)

Good Friday

Poor Gabe was up coughing a lot Thursday night, so I only got about 2 hours of sleep, but I wished my brother Wes a happy bday, got fed up with Spotify not streaming, went to work on mission critical projects, took my wife a yummy Subway lunch, and napped. Then Charli took us all to get Graycie from daycare and we grabbed Great Harvest cinnamon rolls on the way (mmmm). We jammed on the way home for family dinner, then Gabe built a tower taller than himself, Papa tried to teach the kids how to blow across the top of an empty bottle to make a musical note (which none of our kids could do, LOL), and we learned how to use the new weight equipment Papa setup for everyone (Graycie just did jumping jacks). We ended the day watching a good movie (People Like Us) with Charli's folks.
