This is one of the easiest ways to get a good group shot with a baby. No one has to hold Megan, and she can show her personality.

Visitors
We had four deer visit our backyard. They have not been around much this year, so we were excited to watch them for awhile.
Sledding
We promised to take the kids sledding this winter. Today was the first time we could go with Allan. We had fun, but it was cold and we did not stay long.
Tapping Maple Trees
Allan helped the kids tap some trees this last week. We have four taps this year, two on our huge Maple, and two in the woods. We are planning on tapping a few more trees, but the weather needs to warm up a little first.
Valentine Day Flowers
My family knows that I like flowers. I have received flowers for Valentines a few times, but I think this is the best bouquet of flowers that I was ever surprised with.
The kids have been working in secret since Friday. They even used a flowery smelling lotion inside them, so they smell like roses!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
The Eyes Have It
Caught!
Going Outside
Ever since Megan was born I have taken her outside. She loves being out, even in the cold!
If we take a walk, she is bundled facing me. She almost always falls asleep on our walk. Today though, she wanted to watch the kids go sledding, so she was facing out for the first time. As you can tell from this picture Allan took, she really liked it!
My Boyfriend
I love watching Allan interact with the kids. I am so very thankful for a husband who enjoys his children! He works very hard for us and still has time to make us all laugh and know we are very much loved by him.
I love (and respect) you Allan. I am glad that God gave you to me!
P.S. Happy Half Birthday 🙂
Megan
Megan is growing quickly! She is able to hold her head up better. She loves to follow and watch people. It is so much fun watching her eyes tracking whatever she is looking at.
Her hair is starting to thin out. I should say, fall out! It is very strange to find pieces of black hair wherever she has been.
Megan had her first major cold. She had a 101 fever this weekend and was very congested. We are very thankful that God healed her quickly. Babies and fevers are not a good mix. While she is still not feeling her best, she is almost better. We love seeing her smiles again.
Because of her cold, her voice sounds funny. Mark thinks she sounds like a penguin (Gorp! Gorp!) and has her dressed in white and navy, like a penguin.
