February

February has been a busy month at our house.  Of course, one of the big highlights is Valentines Day.  We enjoyed making and sending valentines to friends and family and schoolmates...and receiving some in return!  Prior to the big day, Corvallis was hit with another huge snowstorm and we enjoyed another break from work and school.

Sylvie "celebrated" her half birthday - halfway to eight already!

As a Valentines Day surprise, we surprised the kids with a quick trip to a cabin near Bend.  We had a great time ice skating, sledding, hot tubbing, and spending time by the fire playing games and watching the Olympics.

Lastly, I got to go on a trip of my own - I made a trip to Seattle to visit some old and dear friends.  It was a lovely time.
