Where Has February Gone?!?

Between naps, cooking, sewing, visiting with family, snuggling Daniel, and a little trip, this month has flown by.  Dan tells a story of visiting with the man who hired him about thirty-eight years ago and having Royce, now long retired, tell him that he gets up each day with nothing to do, and by nightfall has half of it done.  I'm beginning to relate.  :-)  But I'm not complaining. 

My stash of baby bibs was down to two, and those were for girls, so I decided to go into production and replenish my stack. Here's a picture of some of the twenty-three I still have. Nine have recently gone to showers, all boys, and there's another shower, again a boy, next Saturday.

My Bruder Bear was up last Friday with his daughter Jennifer and her new little baby, Grant.  Jenny was a very intrepid new mama and flew all the way from Louisiana by herself with Grant while Greg was out of town for work, and then she and BB drove up to Mom and Dad's so they could see their little great-grandson.  Dan and I were invited, too, and had a wonderful afternoon visiting and getting to know Grant.  He's definitely a keeper!  Both Ann and Jenny lamented that Daniel and Grant weren't able to meet as Ann and Eric left that day to spend the long weekend with Eric's parents.  I think my Bruder Bear is enjoying being a grandpa.  :-)

  

Meanwhile, Dan had a meeting in Coeur d'Alene on Tuesday, so he invited me along and we enjoyed two days out of town.  I shopped Bear Paw Quilts while he attended his meeting, then we hit Costco, checked into our motel, went out for a nice dinner, and retired to a room that someone else would clean the next day.  :-)  It was a lovely get-away.  We did a little more shopping on Wednesday and headed home. 

We drove up in a raging snowstorm and we drove back home in another one.  It snowed five days last week, and three this week, and it's currently -3 outside. 

And now I wish you a warm and comfy weekend!
