February! (Erin typed)

Erin took over the blog this month!  Thanks, Erin!

Well, February this year was an unique month because of COVID. Groups 2 and 3A people in those groups got their vaccines and will get their vaccines. The governor finally announced that more people can be outdoors and indoors, so that's great! We were busy during February: school, ballet for Erin, piano for Erin and Gina, starting soccer for Anna, and OFTN and fish fry for Bob. Finley also has been busy, too inside our house and outside. Erin is also starting YAA recording videos for piano. They have to record 2 videos to the judges to rate their videos. 

                                                    

On the first week of February (1-7), we had a very relaxing week. At school, the students, faculty, staff and administration celebrated Catholic Schools Week. Each day they had a different theme, like "We Celebrate Faculty". On Sunday, we watched the Super Bowl on tv and the Buccaneer's (with Tom Brady) won. Erin also had Dance Theatre that day, as well.  

The next week was getting ready for Gina's 40th Birthday. She was excited, but nervous to turn 40 and to be in a new decade. On her birthday, started at 7:30 with breakfast, waffles (made by me), hash browns and bacon. Then, we helped Bob with the produce and got a Starbucks treat after. The rest of the day we were just relaxing and Gina was enjoying her presents. We also had a great Valentines day by having Erin altar serve and just relaxing at home with Erin having Dance Theatre at 2. 

                                                                                                                                     

 

On Monday and Tuesday of the next week, the girls (Erin and Anna) had off school and we were just relaxing, like always. We got to do a couple hikes, which were very nice. Erin and Anna went back to school on the 17th, and was great as always. We ordered some Valentine's pictures for Finley at the Pooch Pad. He is so cute in the pictures! Wednesday is also Ash Wednesday, and we started doing family rosary each night except Sundays. Saturday, we got to clean out A LOT and we have a lot of space in our playroom, which we don't know what to do with that extra space! 

    

Erin also got to altar serve again on the 21st. Then, Bob was called to do jury duty on Wednesday and they didn't need him after all. Anna's class and the rest of the 5th grade homeroom classes got to go to Mass in person on Thursday. On Friday, Gina got to go get her first dose of the vaccine, which was very exciting! The staff let her get the vaccine because she works in the cafeteria every day. Saturday, we were busy! Erin had her mock recital at 11:30, which was great. Then, Erin got to go over to Olivia's house for a little bit that afternoon. Anna's soccer practice got canceled because of the rain we had on Friday. Bob had to do meals, as always. We made it through the day! Sunday, we went to church and did some paintings for Dance Theatre.
