February in photo form

I can't believe February has already come and gone. Quite a lot of memorable times were had, what with petting cows, riding a steam train, and tree-climbing in addition to a quick NC trip for great-grandma's memorial service.

At the church for G'ma's service, Jacob discovered the joys of preschool classrooms. Little did he know that I, and all his Chell aunt and uncles, played and learned in the same rooms as kids. (And Uncle Dana and Aunt Emily even found a play tunnel in the classroom now with which they played many years ago!)

These baby strollers, books, and play kitchen paired with the playful companionship of our dearest family friend Patty, allowed us all to be present and savor the beauty of grandma's service. Thanks a million Patty!

Though a quick trip, Jacob still talks about Chell family members as though they're in the other room....then giggles as he acknowledges that they're not here. Late night and early morning lounging pictures are what we've got with family as he was rarely still- usually dragging one 'sucker' adult to play somewhere or another.

And we got some beautiful Christmas pictures edited from Uncle Josh...this is by far the sweetest thing!

Life's pretty much back to 'normal'. We eat popcorn, read books, hold cute baby Rosie, get outside between downpours (though it's supposed to be the sunny season now....hmmm).

Happy March 2010. Time sure does fly by......
