First Half of February Happenings

We've taken advantage of the warmer February days in our favorite room in the whole house whenever possible. One Sunday evening we cranked up the heater, bundled up with blankets and watched Face to Face with The Piano Guys.  It was so nice to be 'outside' again, and now, thanks to Jon Schmidt, Adam officially knows how to play the piano upside down. 
Leah and I went to the symphony!  It was incredible, as always, and extra sweet as we saw several  familiar teachers, musicians, and friends there that night. 
Shrek continues to haunt us day and night. 
An another warm-ish day, we took care of the gingerbread houses. 
Adam and Emma wrapped up their second season of archery!
Leah got her drivers license!  She is getting closer and closer to confidently driving by herself. 
There were a lot of windy days this month. 
We have had some crazy visitors in our yard this week- coyotes! One Sunday afternoon they just ambled right across the backyard while we watched with fascination and a bit of fear from inside the house. Laney stayed with us and now has had an escort every time she goes outside.  The coyotes have been howling and 'screaming' at each other in the evening and night and at least half of us have had nightmares about them even though we know they're more nervous about us than we are about them. 
Laney doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. 
Adam, Daddy and I went to the temple!  
And then to visit our friends in their new house. Prom pose on the stairs!
Adam has been staying after school preparing for the Science Bowl- his team took third place at the tournament!
We've had a lot of unseasonably warm (40s and 50s) weather so far this month.  The snow is gone, the snow gear is no longer packed along to school, and I have to keep reminding all of us that winter isn't quite over just yet.  But it sure feels like it is!
