Lily was relaxing peacefully on the couch and I was hoping to get a photo of her serene expression as she daydreamed, but she spotted the camera and I captured a bit of silliness instead.

I didn't stop photographing; we just happened to be away from home for almost half the month, and uploading, editing, and posting fell down the priority list. To keep the catch up more manageable, I will be posting one week at a time over the next few days.

I am going to try posting every other Sunday for the next few updates and see if I like it better that way.

That isn't to say we had a boring or lazy week, but a week without anyone being sick made everything feel much calmer. It probably also helped that Ish took Monday off from work so the week went by faster. The kids miss him so much during the day so one less day of missing Daddy is definitely a good thing.

The kids were happy to have cousins visit early in the week, and then we had a relatively slow week after that. The kids had lots of time to play, create, and learn with the lull in activity.

On Tuesday we hosted our homeschool co-op's St. Valentine's Day party. The days leading up to the party were a flurry of Valentine making, and party itself was a lot of fun. The excitement of the preparations and then the party itself definitely wiped the kids out. It took them a couple of days to recover from all the activity.

I started off the week battling what the lactation consultant believed was the beginning of mastitis.

We have had toddler induced bathroom floods, an exploding pen, and a few other crazy moments. Grabbing my camera each day has allowed me to step back, slow down, and in turn become more present.

I did pick up my camera each day, but I definitely struggled a few days. It does help that the kids seem to want me to take their photo more often. There were a few times during the week when they asked me to get mt camera out.
