February Stuff


Here are a few more photos from February! 

We went to the Chinese New Year celebration at our adoption agency, AAC.  As usual, Caylie had her face painted.  This time she was a dog.  (2018 is the Year of the Dog.)  I don't think she was happy about the tongue hanging out, though.  She washed it off pretty quickly!

One Saturday we tried a new barbeque place for lunch.  We didn't know the sandwiches would be quite this big!  
Justin ate 3/4 of his.  😁

Samuel made this awesome Chinese umbrella at school.  Don't you love the cute panda?  

 Another (and cuter) picture of Caylie.  
 I don't know how this girl got to be NINE!

Justin was in the basketball pep band.  This is the hugest pep band I've ever seen, and they are LOUD!  
It's awesome. 
Justin is at the top right, with the trombone.


I took this pep band video after one of the games, where the team had won at the last second!  You can tell the game is over, because the goals are going up!

 Tessa and Elias, my cuties! 
 Tessa is 3 1/2 now, and Elias 6 1/2 months.


Just because I love it . . . Jim took this photo from the sound booth at church.  On Wednesday nights we have 10 minutes of corporate prayer.  It's awesome.  We love our church!
 (I need to do a blog post about how God brought us to Calvary Aurora.)



And because it's Valentines month . . . here is a photo of me and my valentine in the fall of 1985.  He was a senior at Anderson College, and I was a sophomore.
 He's still my valentine!

February Birthdays!

 Taylor turned 25 on February 3.  We went to  Sakura Hibachi in Aurora for his birthday dinner. 
Jim with all the boys:  Keelan, Justin, Taylor, and Samuel.

The birthday boy.

Back at the house for presents and cake.


Happy Birthday, Taylor!  We love you!


Caylie turned 9 on February 14.

Presents before school.  We also took donuts for her to share with her morning class, as her afternoon class would be taken up with Valentines Day activities.





Yummy supper at East Cafe Chinese Restaurant, her favorite place!


New outfit.

Hello Kitty birthday cake, as usual!






 A day or two later, with birthday cards from grandparents.

Happy Birthday, Valentine Girl!
