February happenings

Jan and Feb at Schweitzer. 
Lots of time spent reading together with the fire. 

uncle Grant arrives and the girls instantly give him a hair do. 


Ryan came out to visit at the end of Jan to ski and experience our Schweitzer. 

Out for a skate morning. Gorgeous! 

Bill is still not very happy about the skating life. 

Ellie and Claire headed off to Brynn's birthday party where they watched her get her ears pierced! 



We took the kids to the Lion King. It was incredible! 

We put together 52 sandwiches as part of a volunteer event for SARS. 

Claire and Ellie having lots of fun. 

We watched Walter while suzanne worked some late nights and Grant was gone. I put him on the bed and he didn't know what to do! 

SNOW DAY! Such fun to have a 8 inches and no school! 

lots of snow play. 



and an oil change. Had to get it done so brought the kids and love the kindles. 

Suzanne and I went back to pathfinders to get yummy snacks. Love this new cafe my neighbor Sarah opened. 

Valentine's Day! Bill brought home flowers for the girls! 

I love that they now expect it and get excited for it. 


So thankful for the way Bill loves these girls. 


Africa quizzes because I had the kids skip the last friday before mid-winter break. 


Training day before Mt Spokane race!


Bill tuned all the skis up before Mt Spokane.
