Will
there be 6 more weeks of Winter or is Spring around the
corner?
No big plans this month...we've been kind of taking it easy
until Daddy finds a job.
Happy Valentines Day this month to all my family and friends!

FunCare
Floods! Ahhh!
February
1, 2005 |
Mommy didn't
have to go to work yesterday because pipes had busted in the daycare
and flooded the lobby and the 4 & 5 year old rooms!! This
had happened last year but it only closed the daycare for one
day...this time was much worse! Mommy had to go into work
today because they needed to move some of the rooms upstairs and
into the vacant units up there. Mommy's room ended up being
closed to because the walls were wet and damaged. It's
crazy...the daycare is kind of separated into 3 different units
now! Mommy is combined with the other toddler teacher upstairs
and with the new infant room. They are working hard on getting
things fixed, new everything, ceiling tiles, walls, carpeting....and
they are FINALLY going to fix the pipes so this doesn't happen
again. Everyone has been working hard and have been putting in
a lot of extra hours to make things run smoothly for the parents and
their children. We don't know how long renovations are going
to take.

Ground
Hog's Day!
February
2, 2005 |
That crazy
groundhog saw his shadow AGAIN this year! I don't know where
he was seeing something like that because it wasn't very sunny here
in Harrisburg! Oh well...I LOVE the snow and I wouldn't mind
actually getting some more. Heck, we haven't even had enough
to build a decent snowman with! Daddy, of course, is ready for
Spring!

Daddy
Got A Job!
February
4, 2005 |
Yea! Daddy
got a job! His first day will be Feb. 14th. He is
working with a consulting company (e&e consulting) for
ComputerAid and doing a project with the County Commissioners
office. He is a Technical Specialist and will oversee the
development of the project. It is only a part-time job for now
but may develop into a full-time position by March. We are
hoping for that but right now...this is good. It is only a
one-year contract but maybe by then something else will open
up. We will just be taking things, one day at a
time.
CONGRATS DADDY! I will miss staying home with you!

Geocaching
Trip!
February
5, 2005 |
The weather was
pretty mild today and sunny, so we got in some early morning
geocaching. We did a tough one for me and I did a great job,
considering the terrain. We hiked up in through the game lands
in the SNOW!! Uphill most the way and I almost made it the
whole way without Daddy having to carry me! We finally got to
the top of the mountain and it took us a while to find the
treasure. It was in pretty sad shape, most of the stuff was
frozen!! We are starting to get annoyed with people who don't
use nice water-tight containers and don't keep their caches
maintained...but all in all, we still have a great time with this
hobby! On the trek back downhill, I had fun stopping
occasionally to make "butt-marks" in the snow! That
always gets me a laugh! Hee-Hee!

Packages
from Grandparents!
February
11, 2005 |
I got TWO
packages in the mail today!! One from Grandparents Wiles and the
other from Grandparents Proper!! Grammy W. made me a
blue fleece bathrobe. Boy, is it nice! I look like a
turtle master in that baby! Best of all, wrapped up in that
care package were 2 trains! Douglas and Donald. Grammy
& Pap must have hit those sales at Boscov's...heehee.
THANK YOU!
My other packages from Grandma P. had all kinds of interesting
things in it. I think she had a lot of fun putting it
together. She made me all kinds of fun little games that Mommy
said will help me with my "fine motor" skills, whatever
that means. All I know is that it's fun to sort all the beads,
picking them up with tweezers, stringing them on the pipe cleaners....mixing
them all up and spilling them ALL OVER THE FLOOR!!! Haahaa...Mommy
is reading over my shoulder. I also got some cool art stuff,
the paint pens are my favorite. She also sent me a bag of
"M's" and some lollipops and cookies...yummy! THANKS
GRANDPARENTS PROPER! Oh....and my favorite thing off
all...that I played with all night was....the BOX in all came
in! It makes a great rocket ship or race car! I like to
sit in it on the couch with my pillow and blanket! Go figure!

Happy
Valentine's Day everyone! I had a fun day and party at my
"school". We ate all kinds of good stuff and
gave/got cards! I got all kinds of candy....my favorite
thing! Mommy & me painted a picture for Daddy to take to
his job. I put hearts on it with beads and special puffy
paint. It looks pretty awesome!
I hope everyone had a nice special day....I LOVE YOU!!

**Let
It Snow**
February
24, 2005 |
Yay! We
finally got another good snowfall! Mommy and me were at
FunCare when it started. It sure did snow a lot! Mommy
got to leave work a little bit early and we were really careful
driving home. We passed a lot of accidents. Mommy said
it was people were being reckless and not as careful as they should
be. Anyway, we made it home safe and sound. I couldn't
wait to get out of the car and get my boots on! I got to help
Daddy shovel and run the snow blower. I like to use my tractor
and trucks in the snow too. Finally, it started to get too
cold out and dark too. Plus, it was still
snowing...lots! We must have gotten around 4 inches and more
than that in the yard where it drifted. I can't wait to go out
and play in it with Daddy tomorrow! I bet he is just thrilled!

Finally!
Painting My Room!
February
26, 2005 |
We have finally
begun decorating a room in our "new" house. (Hard to
believe that we have almost been here a year, and it's been a year
since we found it!) Anyway, my room gets to be FIRST!!!
We have made numerous trips to Lowe's and I helped to pick out some
paint colors. We are going to hold off on all the pics until
the room is completely finished. Right now, I have new lights
that Daddy made me, walls are painted, crown molding and new window
blinds. There are some finishing touches still...like my new
curtains and bedding (bet you can't guess the
"theme"...choo-choo!). I have also heard Mommy &
Daddy talking about going to the store and buying me a new bed and
dresser for my clothes! YAY! I'm excited to have a
"huge bed with two pillows!"
