weather "safety tips" when we got into the 40's

chrysalis

We all continue to enjoy watching the cycle of monarch butterflies in our yard
(and buying more milkweed!)

We had lots of caterpillars (we counted 14 one day!)

and now chrysalis (we have found 9!).

We were even able to watch the amazing process of a caterpillar transforming into a chrysalis (which only took a few minutes!)

February dates

We went out for a fun Valentines date with friends!
Our church offered a "date night" this month--
pizza, movie and crafts for the children while parents have a date night!
Together with the Shermans and the Sheriffs, we had a great dinner out!

Abigail's date with Mommy

We went to the Plantation Equestrian Center and for the children's "share-a-pony" program!  Abigail had a great time riding and we had a fun morning together!

We went to the Bethany Auction & Gala-
this years theme was the Roaring '20's and it was a fun night!

Abigail's birthday

I had a great birthday month!
The children excitedly celebrated with me each day, asking what we will do to celebrate that day (knowing that it often includes sharing a treat!).
These were the BEST gifts!

And a wonderful dinner out with this handsome man!

Chris made me a chocolate house!
It was through a neat program offered at his office, and he constructed this delicious home complete with 4 little bears
and taffy flowers.
