Valentine’s Day

February 16, 2026

We had a LOVE-ly Valentine’s Day around here! The kids had no school Friday and no school today so it’s been a great long weekend! Valentine morning everyone had a few surprised waiting for them…

Lots of Valentine fun around here! Samantha went to a Gal-entine’s party on Wednesday in her new Valentine sweatshirt! Perfectly pink!

nothing

February 12, 2026

I’ve got nothing around here except super early mornings for football (both boys) and late nights for baseball and soccer and tumble. In the meantime, here’s a random photo of Samantha bundled up for soccer practice last week…

checkup

February 6, 2026

Took the kids for their checkup last week! I got no pictures of any of it but we did get good reports of healthy, growing kids!

Maxwell is 5’6 (28th %) and 125 lbs (45th %). Last year he was 5’3 and 100 lbs so he definitely had some good growth and gains!

Spencer is 5’2.5 (53rd %) and 97 lbs (37th %). Last year he was 5’1 and 89 lbs so a year of slower growth for him (but the year before he had grown 3 inches!)

Samantha is 4’6.75 (25th %) and 72 lbs (27th %). I don’t know what she was last year because I forgot to ever take her to her 10 year old checkup! oops!! But, two years ago she was 4’3 and 61 lbs so she’s grown almost 4 inches in 2 years which is great. Based on her %s I do think she’s going to have a case of the GJ and Lulu short syndrome! ha! Whatever height she is she’ll be just perfect! Samantha had to get 3 shots and a finger prick which she handled better than she has in the past. I’ll take it!
