February was a crazy month. Regan got a great snow, and Kai was in puppy heaven. She had a hard time getting him to come in because he was having so much fun.
If he didn't have a little bit of tan in his coat, he would just disappear.
This was the other crazy thing that happened. Regan's calves were hurting so she asked her doctor about it. Long story short she had rhabdomyolysis! She was hospitalized and after she was sent home, she was not able to stand or walk beacause she lost all of her muscles.
Bed rest for 2 weeks. Kai was super worried about her. We were so thankful for her amazing roommates who helped out so much!
Chinese New Year celebrations in Rome, Italy.
It was fun introducing Kaden and Capri to this fun culture.
This is our absolute favorite. It's super overpriced because it's the fair, but the ONLY time we have had this outside of China.
the best lamb sticks you will ever try
so many people in the park
It was fun to see everyone coming out to enjoy a taste of CNY
After we went to the park, our girls ran to the Chinese market to buy their favorite crackers for CNY
We saw Eric in the parade!
The parade was on Sunday, but we got to see it on our way to church. It went right by.
Two robots lead the parade...a person one and a dog one
These tents have come up in our piazza every weekend. It's always something.
My sweet Shadow
We noticed the wall was wet behind and called the landlord to have him check it out. There was a hole straight through the shower and into the bathroom. They did fix teh leak and repaired the wall. I guess I will get around to painting it another time.
These two are so cute!
Cornettoland coffee date!
I took this picture because this is what it looks like to be a dance mom, sewing ribbons on new point shoes.
What a surprise to get a birthday gift from my good friend, Jessica! She said the flowers reminded her of our friendship, she is the green leafy one and i am the bursts of color...haha!
Regan delivered her GIANT commissioned piece to the President of Union. Hew friends helped her deliver it.
My birthday dinner (and some gifts)
Mmmmmm, this chocolate cake was sooooo good!
I got exactly what I asked for! An electric mop. It does a pretty good job.
Shadow wanted to play with the wrapping paper, so Hudson was throwing it for him.
Yes, then there is Scout, who decided he would only eat if Katherine came to watch him.
The winter Olympics were in Italy! Just a reminder here of how the Lord works in so many ways to reach the nations. Over 20 professions of faith!
Regan and her roommates at the Cardinal Ball!
We also had Samuel with us for 2 months. He LOVED all things police and got pictures of so many officers :)
Some of my SS kiddos
XiaoYi
We had a full class in teh afternoon as well!
They are finally fixing the road from the fire back in May!
Playing a little battleship
Lois and Ian
Katherine got a card in the mail and was so tickled at the delivery. I guess it got stuck in a sorter because the corner was completely gone. They delivered it in a bag saying sorry about that.
Just some typical parking on the sidewalk
The Olympic pins that we were distributing.
Turns out the reason I have been exhausted was that my iron had dropped super low. They did and iron infusion and I felt much better.
Hudson's small group won a prize
Finishing up her art class
Lauren doing her thing
always dancing
a little breakfast date
Flowers for Valentines Day

Katherine wanted to have tiramisu before moving from Italy...we happened to go on Valentines day so there were balloons everywhere
This baby needs a haircut
"Hudson! Hold me! I'm not walking! Carry me! Carry me now!"
Fun catching up on things with Jessica
Ran into other friends at the Chinese New Year festival!
