January

January brought back some routine to our house, which was much-appreciated.

You know that your family loves you when they spend more to mail Lambie home than she probably cost - Lucy was very happy to have her back!


Lucy started "soccer ball" in early January and so far, she usually loves it.    Especially the stamp that she receives at the end.


I've described Lucy as a hoarder and I felt compelled to provide proof.  The top of her bed - complete with some books, a cowboy boot, a princess shoe, a bucket of Legos, Simba, a tutu and Charlie's TMNT weapon.  Actually - based on her inventory, she might have just what she needs to conquer the world.


We met Nana and Papa at Carver to watch the Hawkeyes beat Michigan.  Lucy was Party Lucy right before the game, but snuggled on Papa's lap right before tip-off.


Initially Charlie was worried that the Hawkeyes might lose but his worries were quickly re-directed to whether or not he was going to get ice cream.  Priorities.


Lucy fell asleep within minutes of opening tip-off and stayed asleep until there were a few minutes left to the game.  We were close to the band and in a sold-out crowd but she was out.  If we were at home, she would have woken up at the sound of me blinking my eyes.


The picture is dark but we experienced our first hockey game as a family in January.  The night at the Iowa Wild game was fun - particularly dancing to the sweet tunes that were played during breaks.


The kids also had some much-needed Delilah time.



And with that, we've already headed into February and we're dreaming about spring.
