Fairweather February {2020}

February is often our most beautiful month down south.  It really is more like early Spring here.  We enjoy playing outside much more because it isn't too hot yet and the bugs haven't come out.  The azaleas usually start blooming too.  I am thankful we got to enjoy this month before the Covid pandemic stopped everything.  

Maggie got to play at Chick-fil-a and practiced standing up. 

Making funny faces in the fun mirror. 

Maggie loves playing with her big brothers now. 

The sweetest thing you will ever see!  Big brother Grayson having a tea party with his little sister. 

The boys did not want to come inside for lunch so we brought lunch outside to them.  No, they still didn't really eat, but we tried. 

 

Maggie and Grayson had fun at the park while big brother was in school.  They loved swinging together. 

Grayson is becoming our most adventurous and independent child so he was fine with going off to play with other kids on the bigger equipment while I watched Maggie. 

But little sister is still his favorite.  He shared his cars with her. 

Little sisters with four big brothers will like cars and other boy toys.  

Maggie did more practice standing.  No steps yet. 

Maggie got a new hi-tech hearing aid.  She is trying out a bone anchored type of hearing aid on a soft band.  This kind of hearing aid bypasses the ear canal and sound goes straight to the cochlear bone.  We think her ear canals are still a little small for a traditional hearing aid to work well. 

Maggie loves ice cream!

Bath time! 

Brody and Mommy had a date to see Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker since big brother was at Disney World. 

Brody likes the comfortable recliners at this theater. 

He was pretending to hold his light saber. 

Maggie and I had to check out our azaleas that were just beginning to bloom. 

And Grayson too. 

Mattox had a big appointment for a psychologist evaluation, and he did so well that he deserved a special treat.  We stopped at Krispy Kreme to get "eyeball doughnuts."  He's so silly! 

I love this boy!  

Big brothers take little sister for a drive. 

Bike riding fun in the neighborhood. 

More tea party fun with big brothers. 

Yes, Mattox and Grayson like Maggie's toys more than she does. 

Just special time with our growing girl. 

Heart shaped biscuits from Chick-fil-a and some Valentine's love for Brody. 

Bundled up for an early morning soccer game in Florida. 

I found a four leaf clover on the field.  I hoped it would bring Evan good luck. 

Making flower crowns. 

Our fairy princess wearing her crown. 

Mommy and her fairy prince Grayson.

Mattox showing off his Valentine mask he made at preschool and cheesing for me at dinner. 

Just our usual Wednesday night at Zaxby's kids' night. 

Grayson looking cool in his aviator shades. He feels the need for speed. 

Maggie had a big day enjoying her first Chick-fil-a grilled chicken nugget kids' meal with apple sauce. 

Some silly selfies with some silly kids. 

Yum!  First taste of Chick-fil-a.  It was a big hit! 

Ice cream cones for the win. 

Maggie enjoying feeding herself some snacks.

Jedi Maggie is ready to fight. 

More silly selfie fun. 

Standing up playing at the eye doctor's office. 

Brody Bunny is so silly. 

It's ba-ba time!  She prefers holding her own bottle. 

Mr. Mattox loves to help me drive in our neighborhood on the way home from school.  It really became an everyday event.  Sigh. 

Astronaut Maggie is ready for take off.

Daddy received a very special gift for his service to the Marine Corps.  The folded flag was flown over his bomb range his last week of employment.  

Just some cuteness from Maggie and Grayson.  Grayson was blowing kisses. 

Goodnight from sweet Mattox and Grayson.  Grayson fell asleep on the couch cuddling Maggie's girl yeti that big brother Evan bought her at Disney World.
