Our hearts are warm this February with the sighting of crocus blooms which means Spring will arrive soon. Gloves, fuzzy scarv
es, and woolly 
hats have been relegated to the back of the closet where we hope they remain until next winter.

At nearly 10 months old she is a delightful handful and keeps us entertained with her many antics, comical faces, vocal exercises, and gymnastic tumbles.
We took advantage of the nice weather the past two weekends and walked the trails in Minto Brown Park with Casper leading the way. We shared the park with two majestic bald eagles, an imposing hawk, and a multitude of honking geese.
Langston is a testament that our first four months in Salem have soared by. At 20 pounds, she has graduated from rear facing to forward facing in her car seat, and takes tottering steps all on her own. Our Friday storytime outings are more interactive with each visit as she becomes more familiar with the routines and we enjoy our lunch visit with mommy on Wednesdays while experimenting with new foods. Swim lessons began this week and will continue two nights a week for six weeks at the YMCA. We want her ocean ready for Florida!
Happy Valentine's Day to All!
