February - Way too busy for the shortest month

February is normally really busy for us with so many family birthdays, but this year was especially busy. We found out in December that we are expecting baby #4, and I felt normal (pregnant normal anyway) until the end of January when I started having kidney pain. Turns out I had a large kidney stone on each side. That was a long process to take care of, consisting of antibiotics and 2 surgeries. Not so helpful when I need to celebrate Chesleigh and Scott's birthdays! Luckily we were able to get everything taken care of, and the baby continued to do well and grow on schedule. On to happier pictures!

Her actual birthday was a little crazy - she opened presents in between her gymnastics class and her brother's soccer academy. She got a bunch of cute shoes, crazy cubes, and a stuffed pink horse.

Scott's birthday was 2 weeks later. It was a big one for him, since he turned 8. He also got a party; which was pizza, presents, and watching Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3. He got a couple of Messi Argentina jerseys, Legos, and a gumball machine.

The kids were such good helpers while I was down sick, and they really didn't complain much. Scott even made dinner one night - microwave lasagna. I'm so proud of these guys, and can't believe how big they are getting.
