Well it has again been another busy month. We were lucky on Valentine's Day to have Matt's parents in town, they babysat for us and we went out for a very nice dinner date together. Jaina had fun playing with her Grandma and Papa Olfert. The next morning we took Grandma Olfert to the Zoo, meeting up with Kristie, Devun and Katie. It was a gorgeous warm day (and we were having so much fun that we didn't take any pictures! Oops!)
Then on Sunday of the long weekend I took the kids down to Taber to visit my mom for the week. We had a nice relaxing week there. Jaina kept Grandma K very busy with crafts, making pictures and dying Easter eggs, and Grandma baked homemade bread with her. Jaina also went in the hot tub at least once a day, either with me or her Papa (sometimes twice a day - she is a little fish!). The weather was really nice and we had a trip into Lethbridge for haircuts and shopping, and we went down to the Taber park to use their nice outdoor skating rink and play on the playground.
Since returning home, we have tried to mostly stay out of the way as Matt put a new coat of paint on the main floor, looks like new now! The weather was fantastic this past week and we have taken a few walks to the park and down the street to watch the new houses being built - all the big machinery is quite exciting for the kids. I'm sure the construction workers think I'm crazy just standing there watching, but the kids love it. Lewis continues to grow up at an astonishing speed, now he can say quite a few words and has proven that he in fact can walk a few steps from one person over to another. Sadly, he has also shown us that 95% of the time, he chooses not to do so, smiling and dropping to his knees to crawl over. He is very impressed with his ability to communicate and does spend some time upstairs on the carpet pushing Jaina's doll stroller. When we were out for our walks he spent a little time pushing the stroller and walking alongside me holding my hand. I am going to try to get a few videos of him and put them together for a post, sometime soon.
Here is a slideshow of a few pictures, some from earlier in the month at home, and most from our visit to Taber:
