Some items of recent history should get me caught up on the goings on of our family.
It took me a week or two, but I crocheted Chris a new scarf. He had been complaining that the one he had was too short and kinda boring. I offered to make him one.
I looked up patterns and found one to approximate. It is red and black and turned out...kinda long.
But maybe that will come in handy!

Our good friends invited us bowling for the cost of shoes, gracias a applesauce coupons.
This was a first for our family and the kids had a great time!Even if the ball sometimes went so slowly there was time to get comfortable...

One week after finishing up those antibiotics we were back at the pediatricians office for pink eye and another ear infection. A week later (and three days before finishing this round of antibiotics) we were back because she wasn't really seeming any better. With no visible improvement on the ear infection we switched medicine (to the tune of $100!) and did three more days that finally put her to rights. For now...***
One of my New Year's Resolutions has to do with holiday celebration. For Valentines Day I couldn't bring myself to make any pink food but felt a little spurt of pride that I actually planned for heart pancakes!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was able to book a trip to Italy with my Mom and sister. They are going to stop in Paris first but just Italy fit our budget and schedule better. I depart in about two weeks! I have to admit, I am kinda nervous. Any international travel tips are more than welcome!!

Yesterday, we took delivery of a new sectional. I have been waiting a long time (about a year) to get this new seating in our playroom/family room. I am looking forward to all of us being able to sit together and read scriptures at night, lounge comfortably for family movies and all the kids (9!) having a place to sit for watching shows during date night babysitting.
Oh, and it has already proven useful for an afternoon nap!
