Miller Nose

 Those Millers have strong genes when it comes to noses... just look at these pictures from our time with our cousins...

Naps and Homework

 After our fun-filled trip, Sunday was filled with naps and homework... how do I apply for a switch in activities?

Crab Crack

 Hubby and I went to the Crab Crack in Rangely, which was Mardi Gras themed last week.

I didn't get many pictures, but I did manage a few from our fun date.

And, like so many dates nights, it ended in bed... with a little one.

Added a Rainbow

 Lee Lee colored a beautiful rainbow the other day... and it looked absolutely beautiful in our window that looks onto the backyard.  We have an amazing view looking over public land in our backyard -- not another house in sight -- and Lee Lee added a beautiful rainbow.

Mush

I want to do a blog post, because that it what I do before I go to bed... but my brain is mush.

I do not know where the weekend went or what I did.  Well, I do... Friday, we had friends over for the first time since before Christmas I think.  It was really fun, and then I tried to do graduate work after they left, but Brady woke up from his nap, when he really needed to sleep more, so I tried to cuddle him back to sleep, and I accidentally fell asleep.

Then Saturday I did grad school all day as much as I could, while running kiddos to birthday parties.

Then Hubby and I did the Rangely Mardi Gras party, which was all-you-can-eat Crab that they fly in specifically for this town fundraiser.  That was fun, but I was distracted because I still had a ton of graduate work to do (and assignments are always due Sunday nights... so I don't like to still have assignments to do on Saturday night - I like them done already). 

Then Sunday, I did graduate work all day long.  I listened to lectures while I made breakfast, I wrote discussion posts while kids were playing and arguing, I ignored them all and just got in the zone... and that's kind of where I still remain.  I have had airpods in my years listening to lectures or audiobooks all day... and it's pretty tiring.

It really does feel like I didn't have a weekend because I studied special education all weekend...and now I go and work in special education all week.

The silver lining is that we have something special planned for next weekend, and so I am trying to focus on that carrot out there... and get next week's assignments done early so I can truly enjoy next weekend.

Have I Mentioned?

 Have I mentioned the very cold and snowy winter we've been having here in Rangely?

The truth is I LOVE these kinds of winters.  We have had snow on the ground since Thanksgiving, with no signs of it melting any time soon.

In Rifle, the snow would come, and then melt.  Come and then melt -- which basically meant the ground was very muddy for months.

This. Is. An. AWESOME. Winter.

And, these icicles are crazy!

Happy Valentine's Day

 I love all my little Valentines -- and my one big Valentine.



Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13

Daddy/Daughter Dinner and Dance

 Our girls got all dressed up to attend the Daddy/Daughter Dance.

They had a scavenger hunt too (so there's one picture of them with the garage door).  I bet Howard and run faster than they did.
