Ike, Em & Lucy

February was an exciting month for us. First, Lucy. Lucy is now crawling! She is also standing up in her crib. She is asserting her independence at every turn. She was excited to play with her buddy Mac. She also had her nine month check up. She is now 21 pounds and 28 3/4 inches. Healthy as a horse, and likes Cheerios.

This month was also Valentines day, Emily's 27th birhday, Ben's 27th birthday, and Mom's 13th? birthday (leapyear baby). Also our friend Danielle Hatch had a birthday too. We enjoyed celebrating these events with fun dinners, family get togethers, and gift exchanges. Emily cooked a full course dinner for Mom's birthday. This was the first time we had the family over to our home for dinner since we moved in. We hope it is the beginning of many more.

At work, one of our projects got a big boost when the anchor tenant opened for business. We are leasing the center for the developer. People stood in line just to get into the store. All 18 check stands had significant waits.
