Ice skating and Valentines

 We decided we'd let Reece take a try at ice skating. She did pretty good. Nick helped her the first round, then carried her the second. Then we realized they have walker type support things you can rent for just this situation. Then she did great with Nick by her side for stability.  Eliza and Mom just watched and roamed around while they skating . Next time maybe we'll bring a stroller to push Eliza in so we can all go

 Surprise, I think her favorite part was the shoes:0

Valentines was a little off this year because we were moving out of our apartment the next morning. I knew we'd be in chaos and still wanted to try and make it special so I got each of the girls a little mailbox and each morning had a surprise inside for the "14 Days of Valentines". Reece loved waking up each morning and opening them and seeing what was inside. This is Reece showing off what was in their boxes Valentines morning.  For those who don't know, We're building a new home and it's not quite done but our lease is up at our apartment so we're moving in with Nick's family for a month or so until it's finished.

Nick opening his from the girls and mom. The girls gave him a shirt with a road map on the back and some cars to drive on his back, and I made him a little book of memories. They got me a rose and some. yummy chocolates :) That night we took a break from packing and moving and had a kid free dinner while Nana and Papa Lynn watched the girls.
