February 2022

February was a pretty calm month, which we loved.  Here are a few pictures...

We had TWO "ice storms" in February.  Weather stuff like this always shuts us down in Texas, since we aren't prepared to handle it!  :)  During the first storm, Eli's school was cancelled, my work was closed, and Eric stayed at a hotel near his work in Dallas for a couple days, because the roads were too bad to drive back and forth.  

Eli and I bundled up and took a COLD walk in the park...

And we did a whole lot of this:  drinking hot cocoa, snuggling up, and watching movies.  :)  Though we missed Eric, we had a nice couple days at home together!

Eli got a samurai sword as a gift for earning his black belt.  

Eric and I were able to get away to our favorite spot in Dallas for 24 lovely hours!

We went to dinner at a fancy Brazilian steakhouse one evening and had a great time.

And then we concluded the month with another ice storm!  Eric got stranded at work/a hotel again, and we had to cancel the camping trip we had planned with Elizabeth and CJ.  Though we were so sad to do this, camping would have been miserable in the cold and ice, even with a cabin, so it was the right call.  We made the best of it and spent the day together eating, bowling, and seeing a movie.  

And that wraps up the month.  Much love!!
