Well, we can just skip over February, right? Because it's a dark, cold month. But we did have some fun despite it being the worst time of the year. Noah finally achieved his ultimate goal of Black Belt! He had done a lot over the last 6 months especially to prepare for this day. We prepared by making signs and gathering a good crowd to watch!
He was a little nervous heading in, but mostly just excited!
Fred and Philie came with a sign too!
His buddy Ari came right from basketball to join the spectators.
He got that belt!
So many Noah fans were there!
We went back to the house and had a good time celebrating too!
Noah also had a play at school. Plays/musicals are not his jam, but he did well nonetheless!
The boys had a half day off school and Bamma took them to a new spot: Cinnaholics! They discovered some great treats.
Isaac joined the ranks of the toothless 1st graders!
I had a nasty bout with shingles, it was a week I'd like to forget for sure!
Tiny kitten, Minnie, is getting bigger and braver. She now climbs around everywhere.
It's really been a pretty mild winter with not a ton of snow, but we did get enough to scoop up and bring in for the cats to explore.
We got together with the Rodriguez crew to celebrate Papa's 70th!
And, Fred and Noah revealed some big news - the 6th graders are heading to Universal Studios in May! Philie and I have been talking about this trip for ages and planning it for the past several months, so we are relieved to finally have the surprise out!
Monica and Daren came over for a night of cocktail making. Malort never tastes good, end of story!
Minnie was spayed and had to wear the inflatable collar of shame for a week. She was not a fan.
Finally some sunny days to be outside!
Sam and Isaac and I headed to the Nerge Fun Fair.
And the cats continue to be cats, lazy and adorable or wild and mischievous!
So now into March and the birthday gauntlet, can't wait!
