february family update

Here’s a quick summary of what our family did during February (a little late, I know… now that it’s the middle of March…)

Both girls had fun birthdays in February, and Eden’s generous spirit really came out… on her birthday, she handed out all of her gifts to each of US, and asked us to open them!  She did help us, but still — wow!

Sky spent a few days in Arizona for work, and Eden missed him a LOT.

Averhy is still learning to play the piano (I’m teaching her), and is moving right along. She usually doesn’t mind practicing, and it’s encouraging to see her learn so quickly!

We had a couple fun weekend activities including an Illini basketball game and visits to some friends and family in Bloomington-Normal.

Averhy has been working hard on writing/reading/spelling at school, so we’ve been doing some “spelling bees” on the way to school each morning. Eden enjoys them too, and is really getting good at identifying letter sounds and naming the first letter of words!
