Hey,
These updates are becoming easier to do. I think I like the whole “one month update” thing we have going. In the months when there are slim pickings we will combine a few.
February has always been a birthday month. First was my mom, then Arabella. You can see some of the photos below from their birthday. As is normal for Ara we went to a few places for her to celebrate. No, not as crazy as the year before when she was on a crazy concert spree, this time was tamer. A few places she wanted to eat we took her to, including Organ Stop Pizza (in Mesa). I also thought this was a good time to take a look at Arabella in her pretty outfit. If you look at the same photo you can see a picnic table. Fun story!
We got the picnic table at Home Depot or Lowes – one of those. When we did it wasn’t super nice, so we did some work to it, ended up staining it and I think it turned out incredibly well. This was the place where we had our Thanksgiving dinner (to give a better idea of what it was like). We also had porch lights hanging around to help the ambiance a little too.
Other fun photos?! Well, we take trips on the weekends, check out different areas in Arizona and see something new. On one of these trips, we came across the Jurassic Park Explorer. Now, for most people, this would be perfect. If you know the movies as I do, then it’s a 1992 Explorer, and the one above is sometime around 2008 or so. Anyway, the decal wrap looks great and I can’t blame them for doing so.
Updates on the baby? Smooth sailing. At the end of February, the baby boy was about the size of a Cauliflower and we were roughly 27 weeks in.
Finishing things off with the last two pictures. First is the pig… that’s because we went to a farm as part of Ara’s birthday week/weekend. She was able to pet Goats, Pigs and jump on farm equipment. And lastly, we have a picture of Geoffrey’s birthday balloon. At the time Toys R Us was still in business and if you registered on their website they would give you free stuff for your birthday. Obviously not something we would pass up. She still has the giraffe to this day and I believe even the book too!
just Pray
