Project 365~February

I can't believe an entire other month has passed.  I'm truly enjoying this Project 365 challenge, simply because it is serving as a photo diary of our life as a crazy family of 4!  And so....here's what we've been up to in the past month!  

We spent Super Bowl Sunday at my parents' house, and Nora got some quality time with her Great Granny Carrell...

Momma went back to work...and survived...and actually has some new projects she's excited about!

We made mean faces at daddy during bathtime...

We celebrated Miss Nora's 2 Month Birthday!...

We celebrated momma's 32nd birthday!...

We had a family day at the pediatrician's office while Nora had her 2-month checkup, and Elyse had her 3 year checkup!  

We went out for pizza to celebrate my birthday...again...

Nora had a new babysitter, my mother-in-law's sweet puppy Lucy!  

We successfully transitioned Elyse into a big-girl bed...and it is definitely BIG!  

We started a new study at small group...and Nora thought it was pretty boring! 

We read lots of stories in Elyse's new bed...

I considered nibbling on Nora's chunky little toes...

Momma was brave and took both girls to my eye doctor's appointment...iPad to the rescue!  

Nora got to enjoy her new froggy seat...and LOVED it!

We took pictures dressed all in red for Valentine's Day!

And we celebrated as a family with Mexican & froyo!

Nora continued to give us ridiculously cute gummy grins...

And Elyse played in the snow for less time than it took for us to get her dressed!  

We became fed-up with winter and watched LOTS of movies, and had lots of snuggle nights...

We made some artwork for the playroom (and actually used our fingers to paint!)...

We made our own sand as we were dreaming about warm weather and sandy beaches...

Nora proved over and over again that she is one HAPPY baby!...

We had some exciting Friday nights with bathtime for both girls...

Nora was even happy when we put her in her crib for bed!...

Elyse showed her sassy self before church...

Elyse learned some new games including tag...

And Nora had some rough nights with her schedule...so momma got to cuddle more than usual!

But those eyes...I'll take all the cuddles I can get! 

We went to the last home MSU Bears game of the season...

Elyse learned to play CandyLand and is mildly obsessed...

And Nora proved that she's not happy ALL the time, especially right after bath when she's cold & wet!

And finally, we sorted through some baby toys and purged a few!  Nora had sensory overload!  

Looking back on these pictures, I'm reminded of some precious times with our family...and I need those reminders as March has started out a little rough for our family.  More on that later, but for now...I'm so thankful for these pictures as a simple reminder of how blessed we are!
