Still February

Well, February 29th didn't disappointment the kids. March stayed away for another day and the snowman came to visit, reminding us winter ain't over yet. So, thinking of my good friend Kate who certainly wouldn't deny her kids a chance to play in the snow, even at 8 in the morning, we bundled up and headed out. Snoopy even joined in the snowball fight and took a few snowballs to the face.

I finally went to the doctor and got an all-is-well report with one little exception. This time my body decided to add in a little fun by creating it's very own antibody, "the big E," not to be confused with "the little e." So monthly blood tests will keep track of it and hopefully come September we will consider ourselves blessed with another non-eventful pregnancy! The ultra-sound was really exciting to watch. There is definitely a mov'in and groov'in little guy in there. Oh, and Gabe has informed us he would like a boy like him, hence the "him," "he," and "little guy," when referring to our dancing peanut.

We found an awesome kid play-place in the mall, Kid-o-kid. It is fantastic, a bit pricey, but for a special occasion completely worth it. The only way I got the kids to leave peacefully was finding treasures in the vending machine as we left . . . . thank you strawberry milk (for Gabe) and banana milk (for Genna). Last week our good friend Yuko volunteered her skills in the kitchen. She taught me how to make gyoza from scratch, with the added bonus of teaching me how to make miso soup. I made the soup for lunch the next day and for the first time it actually tasted right! I love it when that happens!

This Friday we are going to a shabu-shabu restaurant. I hope it tastes as good as I remember. I will be sure to be the annoying person with a camera and take lots of pictures! Warning to Walter . . . .

Hugs to everyone,
