February

I remember when the girls were young thinking how nice it would be when they grew up a bit; I would have more time. Older mothers told me it got busier, and I just couldn't understand how that was possible. But here I am, the older, wiser mother. It is busier, with what I can't quite say. Maybe it is that each individual child has a full, independent life with all the emotions and complications and challenges that go with it. Or maybe I'm just not as spry and energetic as I used to be! Anyway, February passed in a blink. And so will this post!

For starters, I started classes to become certified as a foot zoner. Classes are every other week for 4 hours for the rest of the year, with less during the summer months. I needed to jump start something in my life, and I am interested enough in health and healing and energy work that this motivated me. Not sure where it will take me, but I'm loving the challenge. Sometimes I have to get creative in memorizing...

We shared our love during Valentine's Day week.

I know I'm biased, but I think she is pretty darn good!

The girls, cousin Bailey and Geoff's sister Brittany had an Oscars party with hors d'oeuvre, sparkling cider at the after-party and fancy gowns, make-up and hairdos. They went all out and had a great time. Britt won the Best Aunt Award.

And that is it. Pretty ho hum, I know.
