Our photo survey from the month of February.  The theme includes Emmie.  She was kind of a big deal in February. Okay, one picture of our special Frodo the Cat.  He got sick after we returned and unfortunately, passed away.  It was a very tough time for us. Park play day.  After a series of cold day, well, sort of cold, it’s the South after all, we like to venture out to the park.  Warm February days are the best too because the pollen hasn’t arrived.

First time giving blood.  It just took our Super Ems to motivate me.  We were able to bank my blood and Grandmere’s for Emmie’s surgery.   She did need some.  So, we were both grateful we could give (and through a big miracle for Grandmere) to help her and I learned that it’s not as scary as I thought.   Any Trim Healthy Mama will know this yogurt.  And will also know the sadness in having it consumed by a cute toddler.  She likes it so much, I have to sneak it before she can see me or she’ll eat the whole cup. Frodo loved to nap with Emmie.  He tried several times to cuddle next to her but she would squeal and get excited and he’d settle for sleeping near by. What’s better than one bow?  Two! Liam is learning sme better distraction techniques so he can finish school. See the yogurt face.   Sour cream doughnut hearts for Valentine’s day!  Oh yeah. Climbing stairs (with lots of help) after being discharged.  She had to have help and rest half way but she was thrilled to walk up.

And Malachi had to get a picture too.
