I know. It's February and we haven't posted Christmas pictures yet. We celebrated once in Florida and twice in Missouri and then it was Ella's birthday and then Valentine's Day and we're already talking about spring break and somebody make time slow down already. Whew. My kids don't even look like this anymore! Everyone got their hair whacked off. Annie got a Peter Pan-inspired pixie cut and Ella didn't want to be left out. I'm just super happy not to be fighting with anyone over tangles anymore. Annie lost her first tooth on Ella's 11th birthday. Big stuff happening. I can hear middle school galloping towards us with astonishing speed. Here is Annie just after she and Spencer finished making the batter for a blueberry bundt cake. (Note the awesome bed head.) And a Valentine's Day picture! (Again: bed head.) We seem to respond to cold weather with baked goods. Hugs and smooches (and cake!) to you all.
