February - Part 1

Well, I've been a horrible blogger. But I am happy to tell you that I've had a wonderful February! There's a lot going on - and even more in the next week. We are moving! (To a house that's closer to Lucy's school and Brad's office) I'm really excited! We're still gonna have a guest bedroom...so...Ya'll come on!

Anyway...Here's February....

Let's start with our new house! 

It's a twin villa (meaning, it's got a shared wall with another villa). Ours is on the right. There's a 3rd villa, on the left in the picture, that our landlord's daughter lives in AND runs a salon out of. I'm super excited to be able to go and sit and meet women... 

 My new kitchen! :)

 One of the living areas...

Will. Goodness. 13 months and all over the place! He can climb up onto and down off of just about anything. His favorite thing to do is climb the stairs. Sheesh.

 But he's SO cute!

11 teeth so far.

 And this one... She's a mess! And tall!

We got a date night! LOVED it! We saw Saving Mr. Banks and had yummy desserts and coffee! 

 Her alien face

 He loves bath time now

 And I like spiking his hair up! (He needs a haircut BADLY!)

We took a weekend trip up to our former, village-like small town to go to a dear friend's wedding.

 Despite all the looks we got, being the only whities at the party, Lucy got a rose from my friend, the bride!

 She is precious and I'm super excited that she's moving to our current city! 

We had a band and parade one morning in the kitchen.

 He crawled into this basket and just sat there grinning until I looked at him and acknowledged his achievement. Ha. Silly boy.

 Case in point - making faces behind his plate.

 Usually once a day, Lucy comes downstairs in some kind of princess outfit. I just have NO idea where she gets her love of dressing up from....

This week, I took Lucy to the beach for the first time in 2014. We had a blast! But the water and the wind were cold! (cold for us...)

 Lucy had to stop for a while and warm up.

 Princess on her throne.

 Will helping me with packing.

 JAZZ HANDS!

Lucy loves stuffed animals. I mean, so much so that when she realized today that I've already packed about ¾ of them, she actually had tears in her eyes, asking for me to get them out.

 Lucy, 5 years old, 41 pounds.

Will, 1 year old, 26 pounds.

 kissable.

 LOOK AT HIM! He looks so big! And he does have a neck!

 On my run yesterday and today, I saw camels. CAMELS. (you'll have to click on the picture and zoom in to see it... I didn't get close!)

Ahh, February. You've been good to us. Thank you, Jesus!
