FEBRUARY FUN!

February was a great month! We started out the month with the first visit to our OB, where we were able to see the baby's heart beating on the ultrasound! We then headed to Kentucky for a weekend visit with my parents, and on to South Carolina for a quick lunch and afternoon visit with Jeff's sister Sarah and her awesome roomates. For Valentine's Day weekend, my brother Scott and his family came for an overnight visit which was a lot of fun! They live less than 3 hours away and we hope to see a lot of them in the future :-) One afternoon we took advantage of the sunshine and went hiking at Petit Jean State Park - back to where Jeff proposed to me last May at Cedar Falls. And the month came to an end with a murder mystery dinner/birthday bash for friend's Marc and Tim. February also marked the beginning of classes and orientation for my new job as an RN at Baptist Hospital in Little Rock.

Lunch at Sticky Fingers with Sarah and my mom - mmm mmm :-)

We loved getting to meet Bethany and Cherith - awesome girls!

Valentine's breakfast with nephews Trent and Luke
Scott, David, and Jenny. The boys helped prepare breakfast - heart shaped banana muffins and spinach quiche!

I came home from running errands one morning to a Valentine's surprise - Jeff had cleaned up the kitchen and living room, and left me a beautiful arrangement of flowers, candles, and a card on the kitchen table - thank you sweetie!

Cedar Falls (where Jeff proposed last May).

Already taking baby to hazardous and unlawful places - oops! Signs reads: hazardous area, entry unlawful. We hiked up from the backside, not knowing what the front of the sign said :-P

My handsome husband!
This picture is a little overexposed, but I like it :-)

In costume :-) Jeff played the role of local blacksmith Flint Flames. I was a townsfolk/investigator.

Jeff did a great job with his role - here he is giving his speech to the town.
