Katie enjoyed her balloons and candy |
Daddy enjoyed watching Katie try to eat the candy
|
|
|
It was a lot of fun to let go of the balloons
and see what happens! |
Katie also enjoyed getting her Valentines
card from Mama and Daddy |
|
|
Reading all the words that Mama and Daddy
wrote inside the card
|
This month, Katie decided to teach
herself how to swim in the bathtub
|

While visiting Kevin's family, we took Kaite to Boulder Creek Elementary (this was real nostalgic since Kevin used to play here all the time as a kid) |
|
| |
|
Katie loved playing with her Gaga and Papa! |
Later that weekend, we went to Caleb's party. |

Laurel took Katie over to the cake & ice cream |
Boy was Katie ready to dig in! |
| |
|
When we got home, we had a package from
Kazakhstan, Katie's birth country (see the twine?
There was no tape; only twine and melted wax) |
When we opened it, we were blessed to find gifts from our friend Aigul; she is so sweet & such a wonderful connection to Katie's country |
| |
|
Katie instantly grabbed some chocolate and shoved it into her mouth before we could stop her |
She also loved a cute hair tie that Aigul sent her; these are special gifts she'll treasure forever! |

During the last weekend in February, we had our marriage retreat so Katie went to stay with both sets of grandparents. On the way to pick her up, we took a side trip to Mt. Diablo State Park and hiked in the Mitchell Canyon area; it was so beautiful & green!
|
When we got home, Katie saw her new bed |
| |
|
Katie had so much fun on a "big girl" bed |
Luckily, she actually went to sleep in it! |
