What's new with the Blu's!: February Flew!

The older we get...the faster time flies. Shawn always talks about how we are going to wake up and the kids are going to be heading to high school. The way the past couple of have months have flown by, I am starting to agree with him.

We started February with a visit from Grandma and Papa John! It had been a year since we last saw them so we were very excited for their visit. We started off their first day with a trip to the zoo! Here the kids are dragging Grandma and Papa John into the zoo. You've gotta keep up when a 2 and 4 year old are in charge!

Here are the kiddos posing on the Komodo Dragon!

Up next brother rode a camel!

It was Super Bowl weekend while they were here so we had to throw a little party. It was complete with themed food like New York Pretzels (homemade by Papa John!), New England Clam Chowder, Italian Sausage Rolls, etc. Yum-o!

Here is Kenleigh helping Papa John cook dinner, she is still my little domestic diva!!

Another big event for Miss K was her getting her big girl bed! She moved into her toddler bed last summer and last month she graduated to her full size bed. She really looks like a little pea in the giant bed that is literally just a foot from the ceiling...it's so high! As with most things with her, she took right to it. Climbed up, cozied up and went right to sleep. The most special part is her beautiful quilt on the bed. Last year when we were in Virginia my mom and I picked out all the fabric and my mom made it for her bed. It turned out so perfect and I am so happy that Sis will also have this special keepsake from her Grandma!

While February was filled with fun it was also filled with sickness. The kids went through about a month of being sick. We've had strep throat, ear infections and a pneumonia. It has been unreal and I am looking forward to cold and flu season being done in our house. While it's no fun to be sick, we made the best of it.

Here is K logging a little tv time with dinner on her tv tray!
