Febrrrrrrruary!

Febrrrrrrruary wow what a cold month! Full of snow days, sledding, snow forts, and wet clothes!

The biggest snow day brought about 6 inches, which is a pretty big deal for Virginia. we too advantage and had a blast all month long

Evan aka Tatonka, Man Cub, Bubba, Tater boy and Ninja Baby, is perfect hes growing crazy fast. He doubled his weight in 2 months and now weighs about 15.5 lbs. His hand and eye coordination has to be ahead of his age ( I'm sure all parents say that lol) but he can look at objects then reach out to them already hes not even a full 3 months yet. His personality is starting to shine through, and it is darling, hes always smiling, cooing, and laughing. He never really gets upset and seems to have a ton of patience. I find myself just laying there watching him sleep looking at all of his little features. His eyes are getting bigger and bluer, his hair is growing in darker and longer, his smiles are showing off the dimples in his cheeks and chin. Our beautiful little boy is looking more and more like his dad :) That's pretty wild to look at your son and see yourself, wild because its scary lol.

Herc is a powder hound, he loves the snow even when I throw him into a deep pile. He loves bouncing around rolling in the snow eating snow balls and enjoying the time with us outside. Brenda and I made him a new dog bed which he loves so far. He full of energy, which surprises me for a 3 year old Bulldog, we all love Hercules and his silly quirky ways.

Dad is doing great, as I type this I have a 4 year old cuddling me on my lap watching cookie monster play doh on my phone:). I am really really blessed and so ecstatic with how blissful things are. There is something so rewarding and fulfilling about getting up before the sun, kissing all of my sleeping loves good bye and heading to work to provide for my family. It really makes me appreciate my job that much more and renews a sense of contribution and pride in myself. Besides the daily commute and work hours I am almost done with my second class towards my MBA and still find time to workout. I think both are important to show the kids the importance of self improvement and advancement in both the intellectual and physical sense.

I love watching our little's grow, I often find myself watching them sleep before i head to work or when they nap. I hope I can guide them well on their journey through life. Ever since Evan has joined us I find myself having irrational worries lol; am i going to drop him, what if i tripped, what happens if ______ ( fill in the blank lol) None of this happened of course I guess its just a heightened sense of awareness and if anything i actually think it makes me better a sort of edge to make sure nothing happens to either one of them. As they grow I find myself having different, new worries,thoughts, concerns, am i saving enough for them, is savings the smart thing, is ETF a better idea, should we do a 529 plan, I wonder how much college will cost then, I wonder how much they will need for a down payment on a house, wedding, car, ect. Its never ending lol and hopefully this too gives me the "edge" makes our planning that much better that much more calculated and the future of our kids that much more secure.

Febrrrrrruary, it was cold and wet but we loved every second of it. Life isn't going to always be sunny and warm. Learn to appreciate what cha' got there is a good chance its perfect already :)

Sledding :)

Evan and his striking skills
