Made it to February!

I have never been a fan of the month of January. It always feels like such a depressing month. It comes right after the excitement of Christmas so that is somewhat of a downer. It is cold outside and it gets dark so early. This January has been especially sad because we have not had one single snow day! It is true that February is also cold, and it also gets dark very early. However, the month after February is March which brings spring break and a little warmer weather! So, I am happy to say that we have finally made it to February! We have not been too busy at all this month. In fact, things have been a little boring which can be a good thing. Here are some things we have been doing the past few weeks:

Elia has been busy playing basketball for Upwards. Kevin is her coach and she is loving it! Here are a couple of pictures of Elia and Dalton playing ball in the cove:

Miley has been enjoying the lazy days of winter. This dog is so pitiful, but we love her so much!

Elia had to do a big project for Black history month. She chose Michael Jordan for 2 reasons: She loves basketball and it was easy to find something to wear the day they had to dress up like the person they chose. She just wore her basketball uniform.

One exciting thing that happened so far this month is that Kevin and I both finished our evaluations! This new teacher evaluation system is a little extreme and a lot stressful. We are so glad to be finished! We celebrated with a night out to Cracker Barrel (Ha!) and dessert at GiGi's cupcakes.

Here are a couple of random pictures from this month. One is of Jake and me outside at recess. The other picture is Elia at my mom's house. She actually let my mom curl her hair and I think she looks beautiful!
