January is always a little too quiet for me after the Christmas Season (which begins for me on Thanksgiving).  I have heavy accounting in January and not much time for anything else.  Bob took a few bike rides and photographed flowers and old barns.  Look for a new poster on my Zazzle sight of the barns he has captured to date.  I think he finds these so interesting for the same reason I like to photograph Churches.  There is that curiosity about what is going on behind those walls.  Little stories swirl around our minds as we picture the horses in the barn or the families in the church.  Imagination is a wonderful thing and you get to bring your imagination to life when you are lucky enough to have a hubby who envisions life through a lens. 

February brought me way too close to 60 (okay, next year – but that comes quickly).  We celebrated Jeffry and my birthdays via Skype.  For those of you who are not informed as to our family dynamic – Jeffry was born on my 32nd birthday.  Best present EVER!  100 Peruvian lilies from my brother, Mark & sister in law, Jane.    

We celebrated Mateo’s 7th (yes, SEVENTH!) birthday at our place with family and friends. Bowling and video games at King Pinz, just down the street.  and the walk back to the apartment is never complete without a peek in the windows of Tiny Toes Ballet Studio!   Mommy stacked a sky high cake (delicious) pizza and sub sandwiches were served (also delicious) and just being with family made for a day of complete perfection.
