Happy Valentine's Day!



The days keep going by and I feel like I have less and less time to get things done. We're busy here getting ready to move in less than 3 weeks to a new home in Port Saint Lucie, FL. It's going to be a long commute for me to get to work, but it will definitely be worth it to own our own home and be near my parents. Our 4 bedroom home is also going to be 1000 more square feet than we have now! Hallie and Aiden will get their own playroom for all their toys. I can't wait to get it all set up!

We're celebrating Valentine's Day tomorrow by going to see Cinderella at the Miniaci Center. We haven't been to a show since Christmas time and I know the kids will enjoy this one. Today, we went to a birthday party for Hallie's friend Madeline who's tur
ning 5. She had a blast and I had to beg her to leave. I know she is going to miss her friends when we move, but I'm praying that there will be other 5 year olds near our new house.

One of the most exciting things we did this month, was watch a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis! We took a cocoon home with us from my Aunt Cindi's last Saturday night, and Sunday morning right when Hallie woke up he started crawling out. It was incred
ible to watch. . . and a little difficult for us to let our new pet go. You can see the picture below of Hallie and I taking the butterfly outside for the first time and giving him a chance to fly.

Last month, I took Aiden, Hallie, and her friend Ashley to the circus. There's a picture of the three of them before the show started. Also, Hallie had her first dance performance of the year at Floranada Day. They did their tap routine, "Rhino Tap". My mom was able to come down and watch the performance with us. Unfortunately, Hallie's going to miss the recital with her class here, but we're hoping she'll
start soon enough at her new school that she'll be able to be in their recital. Her new dance school is affiliated with the same school my mom dances at. I'm hoping they'll even let my mom and Hallie do a tap routine together!
