Catching up on February

Well, February has come and nearly gone and I feel that we have still not kicked the germs out of the house. We have had several rounds of colds, flus, fevers, etc. since mid Janaury and the end is not yet in sight. All four of us are feeling fine, but Lillian is still coughing and I still have some sinus congestion. When will we ever get well?

Despite the sicknesses, we have done a few fun things this month. Here are some pictures to prove it...

Lexi is trying out her cross country skiis in the neighborhood

Lillian and I taking a break from sledding to eat a cookie. We had some friends join us in Feda this particular weekend. It was fun playing in the snow with them and their three kiddos.

Lexi and Pierce (in the background) had a snowball fight

Lexi and I also had our "girls" weekend to visit Deb, Elita and Lailah in Chichester (2 hours outside of London). Our good friends Jacinta and Grace were supposed to come as well, but were unable to come at the last minute. I considered cancelling and rescheduling for a time when Jacinta and Grace could also join, but Lexi had recently told me "This trip is like when you, Lillian and Jennifer went on the airplane....". My heart just broke. I guess that leaving her behind with Tim when Jen and I went to Stockholm made a bigger impression than I thought. So, yes, this was the trip for Lexi and Mamma. Lillian had to stay behind with Pappa :)

Fun at Butlins in Bognor Regis

Ummm...Tim ordered a tent for his birthday. The pictures speak a thousand words. Nuff said...

Tim still harbors hopes of getting me out to go camping...
