February Wrap Up

To finish off February, a few pictures that capture a moment or two.



Alex working away with ingredients for her Easy Bake oven.



Looks like a natural, doesn't she?



Lily geared up to go out for a walk with the family.



You think we were taking her out into a blizzard.

Cote, Barbara, and Cristi - at the end of our Happy Hour(s).

Joanne threw one hell of a good party for her 60th birthday at Tuscarora Mill.


Niece Amanda and Joanne.



Joanne's nieces - Amanda and Kelly.



Cote was clueless that everyone else was goofing off.



Joanne & Joe.

Lori in Town

Lori was in town visiting family and we decided to crash her sister's place to spend a few hours with Lori and Jake. It was good to meet the little guy, and see Princess Lori is always a treat.



Alex, Jake, Anna Cecelia, and Javier.



Lily likes the silly lady.



Couple of cuties.



Alex loved holding Jake.

Nice smile.

Cote likes the little guy too.

Must you pinch the poor kid?

Joe finally gets to hang with the baby Sikra.

Alex's Belt Ceremony

Before we knew it, Alex had successfully tested again for another belt in Tae Kwon Do - orange this time. So the family packed up to catch the February morning ceremony. We found out that Alex's nickname with the Masters is the "Female General".



A stellar example of discipline and focus this one.



Alex joins her classmates on center stage.



The students receive their new belt.

The Master gives Alex a hand.

Alex receives her certificate.

Lily loved the padded mat.

The wall-length mirror was great too.

Day at the Park

We found our way to a local park one Sunday afternoon in February. The weather was fantastic and everyone enjoyed being out & about. The Cold Stone ice cream made for a lovely end to the afternoon.


Go-go Speed Racer.



Monkeying around.



Lily hangs with mom.



Doesn't Lily look thrilled?

Not sure why Cote is there all by herself.

More exercise.
