February

Every weekend in February we had a fun little adventure! Here's what we did:

Week 1 - Hiking Valley Green at the Wissahickon with The Roccos:

Week 2 - We took the boys bowling for the first time in years (it was Miles' first time!): 

It was bumper bowling, but Luke got a STRIKE!!!

Luke beat us all with a score of 101!

 (Granted - Jake and I were NOT using bumpers - but let's be real, we are not expert/regular bowlers by ANY means!)

Week 3: We took the boys ICE SKATING for the first time EVER!!!

The boys were both SOOOO excited!

We took our old neighbor, Triss, with us. I opted to sit out and be the photographer - since I've already fallen twice with the baby bump - in the mud once and in the snow once . . . yeah. Not going to tempt fate this time. 

Luke was a LITTLE over-confident his first seconds on the ice - he genuinely thought it would be easy, though we tried to warn him otherwise . . . 

Luckily, they had these great "walker"- type things to help beginners . . . 

We forgot Miles' gloves . . . so he used mine! 

Look at these three cute "boys!"

By the end of two hours, Luke was determined to try it without assistance! He did pretty great!

Watching the magical Zambonie!

Week 4 - We went to visit Jacob's sister's family, The Spigarelli's, in Washington, D.C. 

They just moved there from Washington state! We are so so happy to have family nearby!

Luke and I started coming down with the flu our first night there - BOO! 

(It would end up lasting SEVEN days for him!!! Ugh!)

We still had a great time anyway!!! It was so fun to hang out with them.

(I had to snag these photos from Rachel's blog - because Jacob and I were at the temple for part of the day - and I was feeling too lousy the rest of the time to pull out my camera . . . )

They went to a pancake breakfast

and when we got back, the daddies took the kiddos to the National Air and Space Museum.

The boys wouldn't stop talking about it! Win!

Jacob and Rachel's cousin, Taryn, lives nearby and came for dinner.

My nieces played their instruments for me!

Little Joseph was so sweet - and was surprisingly comfortable around Jake and I.

We can't wait for more adventures with them!
