February
February has been a most interesting month. Thanks Mamma & Pappa Tovey for the Valentines Day package. The dancing dresses are Awsome! (At no extra charge for awsomeness.) We were all sorry to have to retire Ruby's head piece because her head is so large.
Some of you have heard how we were shown at Ruby's 7 month doctor visit that she had gained 2 lbs. since her 5 month visit, but had barely grown 1/2 inch in length. Yep. She's fat. But she's growing now (and more active to boot). I was just informed by the editor that the head piece is not being retired. It's too sweet.
I wish the weather here could make up it's mind. We've had everything from negative 20 to 60 (all in one week). It seems that every week we've had some in the teens and some in the 50s. The girls are tired of being cooped up in the house and we are looking foreward to warmer and more active March (fingers crossed).
School for me has been rough this last month, but I continue to be amazed at what Statistics has to offer. I just have to step back occasionally and not get bogged down in the math to see what an amazing field I have the priviledge of studying. It really is beautiful stuff.
A few weeks ago Megan woke up and couldn't move her head and the back of her neck was swollen. We were very blessed to find a good chiropractor. She has most of her range of motion back now and is feeling much better. We look forward to having her back to normal (though the chiropractor thinks that the last time she was normal was probably when she was 15). The X-rays of her back were cool. I wish I had a copy of them to post so you could see her twisted spine. Though I'm afraid mine looks similar. Because of all this we have renewed our T'ai Chi practicing. I hope you enjoy the video of Anne and what she has been getting out of all this.
This past week I had a viral eye infection. It was terrible. My left eyelid started swelling up on Monday morning and by Tuesday morning it was swollen shut. Thankfully on Thursday morning the swelling was down a little and I could read again.
With the frustrations that come from trials like those of the last few weeks I have a greater appreciation for the bodies we have and look foreward to resurrection when we will have perfect bodies. I was thinking about the scripture in Ether where Christ tells the Brother of Jared that he gives men weakness so that we will be humble. I am thankful for the weak and imperfect body that I have that reminds me of my nothingness before God.

9 month old baby
Babies are amazing. Everyone should watch this YouTube video. It's the best thing I've ever seen there.

Old Things and New Things
The other night Anne found her summer hat and insisted on wearing it to bed. When Megan and I went into the girls room to put Ruby down for the night we had a good laugh at Anne, sleeping with her hat on. She didn't even wake up with the bright flashes from the camera. What a good sleeper!
I got some new glasses the other day. They're pretty different from what I've had for the last decade, so I thought I'd show them off a bit (even though Megan picked them out).
Note to self: the first pic here is with the computer cam.

Merry Christmas to All! (Santa came on the 22nd since we're traveling to Utah the 23rd. Anne and Ruby didn't seem to mind.)
We were curious to see if Anne would understand Santa. She's not a morning person, but she figured it out in a few minutes.
All Anne wanted from Santa was some slippers. Santa was able to oblige with these sweet Elmo slippers. She was pretty excited when she saw the 'Sleeping Beauty' Dress (we know it's Snow White) and immediately put it on.
The only time we could get her take off her dress was to get into the tub. Megan found some bathwater coloring. We did blue this morning. Fun!
Even Ruby got into the fun (Chubby).
