Once again, I had every intention to write a scintillating apercu of the Carriker family
exploits of the last 28 days... Instead I am forced to look up words in the thesaurus to
punch up the writing and try to make the days sound more exciting.
The reality, of course, is that February is a difficult month, and it is hard to celebrate
Valentine's Day with Lucie and celebrate Harry's birthday without him. This year, we
took some plush animals to be distributed at Doernbechers and visited with Jan and Mira
(turns out Mira has a Valentine's birthday too) then took Lucie to school so she wouldn't
miss the party - a very tough day for Lucie: visit with people she adores, go to school
for lunch, recess, and a party... and then go horseback riding. Of course, who am I to
complain - I took the day off from work.
Other than the 14th, the month has really just flown by. I'm spending too much time at
work. We've had a few sunny weekend days and Lucie is riding her bike more. I wasn't
home to capture the first big crash in pictures, but I was able to twist the handlebars
back to where they were supposed to be and Lucie still wants to ride, so it wasn't too
bad.
Anyway - that's pretty much it for February - maybe March will result in more pictures.
