End of February?

Not really sure what happened to February. Oy. Lest things get even further behind, here are a few pictures...

Last week, Nathan surprised me with something new for date night and took me to Pinot's Palette. (Well, first we enjoyed a yummy dinner next door at The Rio.) We had a terrific time and painted the Eiffel Tower:

The whole experience was surprisingly fun...I recommend it!

Last week I also finished dropping off the loads of stuff I'd gathered after purging much of the house. Whew. No idea how there were that many boxes and bags of stuff, lol, but it felt great to clear it all out. (Plus, most of it went to either the local homeless shelter or the women's shelter and was appreciated.) Now all I have left to redistribute (of the stuff I've purged and sorted and not counting the things I haven't gotten to yet, lol) is a heap of homeschool stuff and books...working on that still. :) 

This past weekend, I made a quick, last minute trip home to Washington. Before we all left, I made sure to get at least a few pictures of all five of us siblings together with my mom since we'd managed to all be in the same place...

By the way, they have a LOT of snow there, lol. It's making my gram stir-crazy because she can't get outside to feed her "extra" cats. (They managed to clear a path off my mom's deck but gram's walker can't manage even that and it's way further to the little shed where gram puts out food.)

But. She was happy to see me. :)

Doesn't she look great? She'll be 98 this summer! When I asked her what she'd do to celebrate reaching 100, she said, "Oh, probably sit down," and just laughed and laughed. :) 

Let's see. Other than that, just been keeping busy with everything here. Also, very unfortunately, Micah's appointment with the specialist down at Children's Hospital in Denver just got rescheduled, so now rather than seeing someone next Tuesday we have to wait another three+ weeks to get any answers. Argh!

Okay. That's it for now. I'll try to do better in March...
