Soooo...it's February...

...which means it's no longer January.

 

Not exactly sure how that happened??

I always kind of dread January, while at the same time look forward to it. Give and take.

The holiday let down can sometimes be a bit of a downer, but this year I was ready to move forward.

Ready to start fresh. Attempt to simplify (notice I wrote attempt). New goals. New year.

 

So while we were busy living life, I didn't do my best at documenting that life in this little corner of the interwebs. It was a nice break, but I do so love this diary of ours.

 

And so, our January:

-we parked

-we snuggled

-we showered baby cousins

-we played with Teta

-we got in a car accident (yes it was my fault. yes everyone is fine. yes I feel like an idiot)

-we daytime movied it up

-we busted out some tunes

 

-we jumped like monkeys

-we laughed at sister

-we cheered on the Seahawks!

-we fell asleep while dining

-we most definitely didn't fall asleep while dining and instead celebrated and ate WAY too many dumplings

-we ran in the rain

-we played with uncles

-we played with legos

 

 

-we read with Grammie

-we experienced the aquarium

-we experienced our first (and hopefully not last!) Beers of the World party

-we bathed (thank goodness for that right?!)

-we zoo'd it up with PEPster friends

-we had Field Trip dates with daddy

 

 

-we cheered on the Hawks some more...all the way to the SUPER BOWL BABY!!

-we watched some boot legged 'Frozen'

-we ran out of oil heat

-we got some more oil heat

-we got pre-school pictures back in disbelief that our girl is getting so big!

-we cleansed

-we ran some more

-we napped...in strollers, in mommy and daddy's bed, in cars

-we celebrated birthdays

-we Fan Fested for the Mariners

-we prepared for Madeleine's baptism and jumped for joy in learning that my dad's baptism gown fits her

-we (ehem, I) felt very sad at the prospect that my beloved blankie's days may be numbered

-we were the participants of a Charlotte photo shoot

-we laughed, and laughed and laughed some more. 

It was a good month. A great start to our year.

{minus that whole car issue...}

 

Welcome February!
