We have been pretty busy here lately, but we have just been busy with the regular mundane stuff. We have not really been doing anything extra. The boys did get to go snowboarding, and Cam got to go on a weekend trip with YAM.

Zena found some speaker wire to rip into

...me working on some paperwork stuff

...Jar's scars from his appendectomy are healing nicely

...What a cutie!

...Lily fits under Jar's hat

...Michael and I watched the Super Bowl - we had Keto snacks

...we got some snow (which is unusual for us)

from Michael's work building

...Jar's setup for working on his drawings

...Cam and I tried a new drink (it was delicious)

...I made chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine's Day 

...I made a delicious Hello Fresh meal for Valentine's Day dinner
