LOVE LOVE LOVE - February 2014

The cold has stayed around for much of February!  I must say we and our electric bills are happy to see the sunshine again and warmer temperatures in the near future!

 The best part of our month was finally meeting Rachel, Colman's sister who lives in Montana.  She made a quick trip to Texas and we enjoyed her stay. She lives in Bozeman with her husband Todd and 5 year old twin boys Owen and Aiden. Eva was all too happy to share her loft bed with Rachel... We are looking forward to meeting the boys in her life very soon. We are hoping to make a trip this summer and catch up with Rachel and family. We also plan to organize our summer travels to meet up with Micah and Tom to meet Ralph.Colman's youngest sister who lives in Boston is now 9 months pregnant and 1 week past due date and counting...

I am entering a very busy time at work with various state, and national assessments taking place this spring. Colman too is busy preparing his AP students for their big exam in May. He will also be doing some essay scoring/ evaluating at the National level, at the very end of this school year so very full plate right now! Eva continues to be a joy as she grows and changes daily. She is loving gymnastics and piano and both are helping with coordination and eye muscles. She is starting basketball next month!! Can't wait to send you those pictures!!!  We hope you enjoy these pictures from our very busy and love filled month.

Nothing much to report for now... or too many to count this month. :) We are growing up and vocabulary, tone, and verbal thoughts are abundant!!!
