February Update

This month has been a busy one--January was awful! In January, mom was sick with sinus infections and the blahs after having a very busy, but wonderful holiday season with the family. Then it was back to work, cold days and not feeling well--thank goodness for warm homes and fireplaces. February came with Valentine colors and festivities. One evening we went to Kristin's house to make valentines, frost cookies, play stacking cups, and just be together. The following pictures are from this fun event. Last weekend we traveled to Moscow to visit, and were so happy to have grandpa Nelson travel with us. The weather was beautiful, even though there was no snow! Unthinkable for this time of year. I was able to get tons of school work done in the car while traveling, and grandpa stayed awake the whole time keeping Dad Empey awake and on track-learning how all the rivers of northern Idaho were connected. We miss everyone tons and hope everyone is doing well. Love you all.


Does grandpa ever smile ? Doesn't matter--the important thing is that he is here with us.
