Snowy Hearts Sunbeam Music House Crawl

SNOW! It was a fun January. Now we are pretty much done enjoying the snow. The kids don't really want to sled or sculpt with it anymore. And that is the epitome of February.

Valentines Day was filled with a lot of love. More so than usual. Jonah with out any indication of embarrassment revealed that he is in love with a girl in his class. As he told Joel, he is not a secret admirer as he isn't shy. So apparently EVERYONE knew about this but his dear ole Ma and Pa. Now that we do know we have philosophical discussions over snacks on the topic. Like today when Jonah told his brothers "some people [at school] think that having a crush is gross, but actually it feels good." So Jonah. So lovable.

Koen is a very happy Sunbeam. He has a fantastic teacher, and lots of friends in his class. The one dark cloud in is universe is that his birthday is taking way too long to get here. EVERY day he asks me if its his birthday, tells me that he isn't going to invite Si (because he "treats him poorly") and his heart is broken when I tell him that May 20th is still after Easter. Finally today he asked "can we make a cake and pretend that its my birthday?" So this weekend (I promise!) we will be making a cake with candles. I hope it works.

Silas started piano. He loves playing this instrument. And although Joel and I never planned on owning anything that heavy, it looks like after we move we will be acquiring one. He also spends all the free time he can playing Roller coaster Tycoon. When his computer privileges are tapped, he will play it on paper by drawing it.

Joel and I have been doing house stuff. Our plans came out of engineering abyss, and then went back in, but hopefully briefly this time. The hole may get dug in the next week or two. And Joel and I are scrambling to get colors and stuff picked out.

Hale is crawling and chewing on things in an adorable way. Here is a thousand words on Hale:

    Jonah, I totally agree with you. Having a crush does feel good. ;)
