February
Well, this was a short month, and as such, this will
probably be a short post. Shelby went home on the 2nd. Thanks again
for being an awesome birthday present for my wife! We really enjoyed having you
here for 10 days!
On the 9th, Olivia took Tannin to the Pediatrician
for his check-up and discovered that he isn’t gaining weight. It’s not like he’s
unhealthy or anything. He’s a great weight for his age…but apparently not his
height. See, he’s in the 99th percentile for height at 32 inches and
showing no signs of stopping. The doctor told her to make sure she feeds him a
lot, especially, fatty foods. She said to give him lots of butter on his
veggies and Nutella, ranch, and peanut butter on his snacks. How would you like
a doctor to tell you to pig out on fatty food?!! So, we’re trying to feed him “right”,
but he keeps running it off cuz he seems to think life is entirely about
motion, kinda like the energizer bunny. J
He just keeps going…and going…and going, lol.
Besides this, he’s begun to play peek-a-boo by himself and
thinks it’s the funniest thing ever! He’s a pretty awesome kid.
There was one big thing this month (other than Valentine’s
Day), at least for me. I got to teach Flood Geology from the 9th-13th!
I had a blast! To mix things up a little, I decided to bring my Nerf gun and
shoot all volunteers…unfortunately the gun wasn’t very consistent so I rarely
hit anyone. Everyone seemed to pay full attention and seemed to get a lot out
of the class. Monday was all about how the world was before the Fall, Tuesday
was all about the catalysts that led up to the Flood, Wednesday was all about
how the Flood went down, Thursday was all about the aftereffects from the
Flood, and Friday was all about a specific aftereffect of the Flood: the Ice Age!
The only assignments I gave were reading throughout the week and a paper over
the weekend. They could do 1 of 3 options: write a summary of what I taught;
create a timeline; or, write an application paper. There were definitely more
summary papers than anything else, but the timelines and applications were
really neat to read through! Actually, all of them were because it showed me
just how much everyone got out of the class!
On the 13th-14th, we were able to
watch the kids of some of our friends so that they could enjoy a night out for
Valentine’s! We had a blast and kept the kids busy until bedtime, and then it
was rush, rush, rush again once they woke up.
For our Valentine’s celebration, we ended up getting some Chinese
buffet to go and ate it at home while watching 10,000 BC (don’t worry, we
watched a chick flick the night before). That food tasted sooooo good…until I
ate too much, that is. Then it just started tasting worse and worse, but we
were soooo full.
Well, that’s all I can remember. Other than a few highlights
here and there, the month passed by pretty quick. Enjoy your month and God
bless!
