Feburary has been the sick month. It has run through all the kids. Some of them twice. I am hoping that it all leaves with Feburary.

We pariticipated in on of our favorite annual internet events the Great Bird Count. http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/ This year they also had a photo contest. I had Andrew and Joshua out with me over President weekend as we worked on the Great Bird Count and on the nature and photography merit badges. These are some of the pictures that Andrew took that day. I think he did a great job!

Isaac hit the 4 month mark on Feburary 16th. Hard to believe it has only been 4 months. He is a ton of fun to have around.

Last but not least this post is my seed pictures. I have never done this before. I love it. It is so much fun to watch them grow. Last week we had to raise the grow light almost every day for the crazy tomatoes. My 4 grape plants arrived this week also. They are still on the front porch waiting for the weather to calm down so I can get them in the ground.

March should bring my Bee Keeper lessons. One of the ladies with my homschooling group has offered to teach me. That was my plan for Presidents weekend, but the kids were still too sick. I got my very cool beekeeper suit in the mail. I can't wait to go play with the bees!
