Wow! I haven't posted anything new for over a month. What has happened during my leave of absence? Well, for one, Matthew did recover and of course we all got strep or an ear infection and we have all recovered. I have a few pictures of things that has happened. The top picture... Lily didn't want her picture taken. I couldn't help but post up her dark go-to-where-the-sun-don't-shine look. She pulls it off perfectly.
Something exciting that happened is that I cut Lily's bangs! Finally! Above is the before picture. Yeah, they were driving me crazy. Below is the finished product. I can't believe how much older she looks. She's growing up to be a little girl and not a baby anymore.
Valentine's Day! Matthew and I LOVE Valentine's Day! We met the day before this lovely holiday four years ago. We always go out of our way to celebrate it and make it a big deal. I got Matt a set of new scriptures that he has wanted with his name on them (perfectly straight, might I add) and a book that he has wanted since his mission. Matthew, being the sweet guy he is, got me the following items. This beautiful compilations of novels by a great author...
He helped make me this bookshelf (thank you, Madera Mill). He got this for me because he knew that I wanted a shelf to put my personal favorite books. As you can see, I don't own many of my favorites yet, but I hope my collection will grow. He did a great job with it!
And last but not least, he bought me four roses. It has been a tradition since our first Valentine's Day for him to buy a rose for every member of our family.
These are just a few things that has happened this past month. I'll be better about updating this next month, I promise!!!

I love Lily's hair! She looks so grown up. Not a baby any more! Glad you had a nice Valentines Day and that everyone is finally well.
Glad your Vday was fun. I like the book shelf as well. I am excited to move. I wasn't exactly looking to move to North Dakota, but I can do anything for a year. The baby thing will be an added bonus!!
Oh my word lily is adorable. I love hearing what's new with y'all from your mom and dad. That's right, I'm keeping tabs on you. But it's great to be able to read about ya and see how cute your little ones are.

Thanks for the pictures. She's something. I can't believe how much she's grown. Put a book on her head, can't you?
