Love is all you need.

Just a quick post before February gets away from me...

Daddy is always assigning nicknames to us. From the day we brought Elly Rose home from the hospital, he has often referred to her as E. Rose. I don't even think it is a conscious decision...he just does it. Miss Elly Rose will be 4 months old tomorrow. And broken record that I am...it is just so hard to believe. On the one hand, how can she already be 4 months old? Yet it is difficult to imagine life before her. This week she has been battling an upper respitory infection that has brought on her first fever, so it has been a rough couple days for her. It is so sad to see her feeling so awful.

Art project in celebration of Valentine's Day. Bennett loved playing in the red finger paint. We dipped and dipped and dipped the sponge...pressing it against construction paper that we finished out to be Valentine's cards. I think daddy was hypervenilating because he was sitting quite close to the couch.

Bennett and Elly Rose on Valentine's Day. We recorded the Grammy's for Bennett to watch and they were a total hit. This little guy loves to dance and talks frequently about drums, guitars and music. He likes to dance to music in the car in the mornings with daddy. We close our family room blinds many evenings as the three (and sometimes four, or five if you count Fenny) of us dance in circles. All led by Bennett. We are trying to avoid the "freak" label from neighbors.

Hooray for 60 degree weather. A family walk last night was much needed.
