Here it is the last week in February and I'm not sure where the month went. The first weekend, I drove to Logan and picked up Rob and Emily's kids to bring them home to stay while Emily went to a workshop for Heritage Makers--a company that she is a consultant for....digital scrapbooks, cards, storybooks, etc. We got home about 7:30 that evening and had pizza and watched a movie. Saturday morning, we make Valentine boxes! Gage was very proud of the fact that he used 3 pages of stickers on his. The kids made cute boxes but, silly me, no pictures of them. After lunch and a long rest (for grandma) we made Valentine sugar cookies. By the time we got to the frosting stage, it was almost time for bed. But we had a great time.
Sunday, we went to church at Craig's ward at BYU-I, came home and I fixed dinner while the kids ran through the house, teasing and yelling and reminding me of why I used to yell at my kids. We drove to Logan late that afternoon and hit snow and rain in Utah. I was going to go on down to Lehi but the weather was just too bad so I went the next morning...in still bad weather and roads. I spent four days with Mom and Dad..mostly taking Dad to doctor appointments. But we did have a pretty good visit. Dad got set up with home-health services and things are going better for them.
Valentine's weekend, Rob came over from Boise and Emily and the kids came up. Craig & I, and Rob & Emily went out to eat for Valentine's and had a great visit. It is the first time in a long time that we have spent some time with them alone. Rob hasn't been home for almost 2 years so it was great to have them visit. On President's day, Emily gave a Heritage Makers workshop at my house before she went home with the kids. It was fun and the things you can make are great.
Then Wednesday, I got baptized by fire in my new calling in Shelton ward...enrichment leader. Everything was already planned so I just basically spent the day and night at the church helping with it all. Whew! And that about sums up the month except that I have airline tickets for Las Vegas the first week in March...can't wait to see the little girls there and tickets for Hawaii in April for me and May for Craig. I am going for 3 1/2 weeks to help Jill when their baby comes and Craig is coming for the last week when Katelyn turns eight and gets baptized. I can't wait for that trip either!!!

Phew! You have been busy! Hopefully Las Vegas will be nice and warm-- no storms. Rich is there right now for a convention. No wonder you are Enrichment leader-- you are too good at organizing projects like Valentine's Day activities!
