February 2016

This was the Abby's first trip to the dentist.  She looked so little in the chair. :)  We switched to a pediatric dentist in Rock Hill, and the kids get to pick a show on Netflix to watch while they are having their teeth cleaned.  They thought it was the coolest place ever.

Sometimes they like each other.  And sometimes they don't wear shirts...

At CC, pretending to be Michelangelo painting the ceiling of the Sistene Chapel:

I love that we live in a place where we can go to the park on Sunday afternoons in February and play baseball and football with friends.  With a light jacket at most. :)  Caleb on first base, sticking out his rear end of course...

Micah wrote a letter to Stephen Curry, his favorite baketball player, so Caleb wanted to write a letter to someone he admired.  He decided to write it to Neil Armstrong.  So he wrote "Neil Armstrong, I very very very love you.  You're my favorite in the world.  The second."  (Because he meant Jesus is his first favorite.) Then I looked it up and found out Neil Armstrong has already died.  So I suggested that he write to Buzz Aldrin instead.  Caleb said, "Ok!" and then added to the bottom of this letter: "Buzz, when he comes back to life, give him this."

Micah playing basketball at the Y.  We were less than impressed with his coaches who never even learned Micah's name.  Poor Micah missed the two practices at the beginning (one because of pink eye and one because the coach told us the wrong time), so the first time he played with the team was the first game.  Micah was a trooper though and had fun!

Just because she's so cute when she lets me put her hair in pigtails:

Other stuff from this month: Busy, busy, busy preparing for our Both Hands project.  I'll do a whole other blog post on it someday.  We had our "kick off party" January 29th and our "envelope stuffing party" February 19th.  I felt like every waking hour was spent either homeschooling, cooking dinner, or working on details for the Both Hands project.
