Valentines, Cole's Blessing & St. George

Here's a rundown of the last month or so...

Cole continues to be such a sweet baby, and has brought us so much joy. He has brought unexpected healing to our hearts. He is 3 months old today.

Alice's latest thing is to run and hide behind the couch. She thinks she is hilarious.

Alice was so excited to take this balloon to Ashley's grave. She has continued to talk about it everyday since, and keeps telling me that she wants to go to the cemetery to Ashley's grave.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Cole's baby blessing was a couple weeks ago. It was a beautiful day.

St. George

We went to St. George about a month ago with my cousin Kim and her family.
It was so much fun and nice to go where it was a little bit warmer. Alice loved swimming with her daddy. She has told me several times that she wants to go swimming in the water again.

We have been going down to their place about once a year around this time of year ever since Ashley was a baby. Ashley and Abby are the same age, and it was fun to see the interaction between her and Alice, and to imagine what it might be like with Ashley.

One of Alice's highlights was playing with Abby and Hannah. They pretty much kept her entertained the whole time. She absolutley loved getting piggyback rides from Abby. She carried Alice around so much that she kept telling her mom that her throat was hurting. I wonder why! I love Alice's face in this picture, you can tell she could hardly contain her excitement!
