February 20: Celebrating Grayson
Attended a wonderful shower for Lauren and her new baby boy, Grayson. We are all eagerly awaiting his arrival in April! He is one prayed for little boy.February 21: MIA 
M and I couldn't find Gretel this afternoon. I just happened to walk past her kennel and saw her snuggled in with "Piggy," her snugglie.
February 22: Hiding Gretel 
M tried to sneak Gretel into bed with her. With all her other snugglies, I almost missed Gretel tucked in there with her!
February 23: Four Ponytails
M does not really like ponytails, so I was shocked when she wanted to spend her money on these princess ponytail holders. I was even more shocked when she asked for four ponytails this morning.
February 24: Reading Together 
A sweet shot of H and M reading together before bed.
February 25: Deliciousness
This is a local restaurant that is amazing. No other word can describe it than delicious. Homemade macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, pole beans, bread. My mouth waters just thinking about it.
February 26: After It's Quiet 
When the day has come to a quiet end, we sometimes fine Mocha and Gretel snuggled together on the couch. There were just a few fleeting thoughts of doubt before Gretel came home. How would Mocha adjust? She's nine, after all. But there was not one thing to worry about. Mocha loves Gretel and seeks her out.
February 27: Eating Out 
M is getting old enough to make her selection from a menu when we eat out. As soon as she saw the smoothie option, she was sold. We still ordered her a dinner, but ended up bringing it home because she was so full from this smoothie!
February 28: My Little Helper
M helped make two batches of brownies this afternoon. She is growing into such a good little helper. She did most of the stirring and almost all of the tasting. She was so proud of herself!
