February.

I feel like I get in to a blogging funk more frequently these days.  But it's like exercise.  I never regret it after I do it.
February has given us a lot of snow.  I hate it.

We've done our fair share of hibernating.  Thank goodness for playdoh, and other indoor pastimes.

I've been doing a lot more cooking.  In the cold weather I find that I (almost) enjoy cooking a nice warm meal.  Jill's Mom's recipe for pot pie has been on the menu a lot.  After I made it the first time Nick said he could never go back to eating the Marie Calendar's microwave version again.  The same thing can be said for my Grandma's spaghetti sauce, that I now make by the stockpot-ful.  Nick used to hate spaghetti!  But these days we have spaghetti 2-3 times a month, because he loves my Grandma's recipe.

In other February happenings: Cohen had his 15 month well-child appointment.  He is in the 75th percentile for height, and the 3rd percentile for weight.   Which puzzles me, because the little man eats all of the time, and isn't yet walking!  He and Elsa must have their Dad's metabolism.  Cohen also seems to have broken his nose.  He falls on his face a lot, and has a nice bruise across the bridge of his nose.  The pediatrician said that it's fortunate that Cohen's nose isn't crooked, and that there isn't anything you can do for a broken nose.  It'll heal on it's own. 

Reagan went to the pediatrician for her Kindergarten check-up.  Brains and beauty, that is what my oldest child possesses!  She is so excited at the prospect of going to Kindergarten in the fall!  I can't say that I have the same amount of enthusiasm, I'll miss my big girl.

Nick spent the last 3 days working in Vernal, UT.  I stayed at home with the kids, so that Reagan wouldn't miss her Valentine's Day party at preschool.  Yes, this meant that I didn't even see my husband on Valentine's Day.  But it truly didn't phase me.  Nick and I have never been big on celebrating V-day.  In fact, having him in Vernal actually beats last year's Valentine's Day; when we didn't see each other, because Cohen was in the hospital.

We'll celebrate our romance in two weeks, when we go to Seattle for our wedding anniversary.
