February Update

Grandma Janet's birthday is in February, so Ascha decided to show off her exuberant coloring skills. If you think this is impressive, you should see her cutting skills. That girl can cut a paper into about a million tiny pieces, and she cherishes each one. I have to secretly purge her craft area while she's in bed, because every tiny snippet, even the myriads on the floor, are very precious to her.

We had quite a bit of beautiful weather during the winter. On this fine, spring-like day, we decided to take little Pepper to one of our favorite hiking areas - Lucia Falls and Moulton Falls. We picnicked, then went "hiking."

Ascha enjoyed playing with Pepper in the sunshine. Look how tiny he is. That small stage sure didn't last long. 

Also during February, Aric got to expand on his "communities" unit at school by taking a field trip to the post office, a restaurant, a bank, the fire hall, and city hall. Here he is in the mayor's chair. He liked it!
