February 1 ~ Bedtime Bible stories
February 2 ~ Will the groundhog see his shadow?
February 2 ~ I saw mine. Does that mean six more weeks of winter?
February 2 ~ At McDonald's, Neil, grandson Elijah, and I sat at a table next to a man who made this fabulous paper airplane out of his MickyD's tray mat and gave it to Elijah. The man told us he used to work for McDonnell Douglas (I'd heard of it but had to Google it just out of curiosity).
According to Wikipedia, it was a major American aerospace manufacturing corporation and defense contractor formed by the merger of McDonnell Aircraft and the Douglas Aircraft Company in 1967. Between then and its own merger with Boeing in 1997, it produced a number of well-known commercial and military aircraft such as the DC-10 airliner and F-15 Eagle air-superiority fighter.
So this man knew how to make a paper airplane that would fly.

Elijah took the plane home and had fun seeing how far it would fly. It was pretty impressive.
February 2 ~ Tied up his long hair-do with a scrunchy
February 2 ~ Granddaughter Shelby and her Bro E in line at Ocha, one of our favorite eating places that we hope never goes out of business.
February 3 ~ My great-nephew with his mom Evan, celebrating birthday #2. I share my February 3rd birthdate, not only with Finn, but also with my nephew Alex, who turned 29 that day.
Finn's mom calls him "Baby Bird" maybe for good reason. He's here with his cousin Knox opening wide for a bite of ice cream. These two are good buddies.
Finn's birthday party theme was Paw Patrol. Grandson Knox snagged some balloons and a Paw Patrol mask party favor and wore it home, which made his mom Kelly smile.
Enjoyed my birthday dinner at Bobby Q's with my peeps. Around the table from front left: daughter Kelly, birthday me, hubby Neil, granddaughter Shelby, grandson Elijah, son-in-law Jerry, daughter Holly, and grandson Knox
Birthday party peeps ~ Around the table from left: daughter Kelly, grandson Elijah, sister Jane, bro-in-law Don, hubby Neil, grandson Knox, niece Sarah, granddaughter Shelby, niece Julia, and daughter Holly. (I take pictures of them while they're singing the birthday song. Gives me something to do during that awkward birthday moment)
65th Birthday portrait ~ Kelly's Snapchat strikes again!
February 4 ~ Sunday chicken burrito lunch at El Tapatio ~ It tastes way better than it looks.
And later at Starbucks where it's always crowded, but we somehow managed to snag a table for four. iPad and chocolate cookie time for Knox.
February 5 ~ After school homework for Elijah and Shelby
February 8 ~ Looking out my front door. I love a good sunset.
February 9 ~ Penny the class Guinea Pig ~ Elijah's 6th grade class takes turn bringing her home for the weekend to take care of her. She's really cute but very shy.
February 9 ~
February 9 ~ daughter Kelly brought us doughnuts from Ralph's. Knox (in the backseat) had the flu, so they didn't get out. They'd been cooped up at home for days while Knox recovered from strep throat. Then he was hit with type B flu.
Thank goodness he had a very mild case of flu. I think he was happy just to be out of the house for a while. And doughnuts from Ralph's make it all better, too.
February 9 ~ Afternoon traffic on the city square
February 10 ~ Cardinal ~ a dreary winter pop of color ~ used the Prisma photo filter app

February 18 ~ Son-in-law Jerry turned 40 and wound up at El Tapatio where they placed the birthday sombrero on his head and sang a birthday song to him in Spanish. He didn't see it coming until it was too late.
February 18 ~ The sky that day was awesome. I couldn't take enough pictures of it. I used the Snapseed photo filter app on this shot, so it's the sky on steroids.
February 19 ~ Spring training for Knox who is signed up to play T-Ball soon.
He can hit the ball pretty hard and far for a 6 year old
