Sleeping on the job...

There's really no excuse for how long it took me to get these pictures off our phones. Hopefully a majority of you got some glimpses of February through Jenny's facebook posts but for those of you that are not on facebook it's time for a February wrap-up! So, let's get these little side sleepers up and ready to entertain!

Jenny and I sleep on our sides a lot too... I didn't know it was contagious or genetic!

So, February... big shocker, we were busy but twice this month we got a chance to enjoy some hotel pool accommodations. This was Tigue's first time in a pool! It was at a Holiday Inn in Crown Point, IN for Marty and Ed's 100 party (Ed turned 65 and they celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary). It was a blast but unfortunately, most of the pictures I took were too dark so enjoy the boys and me in the pool :)

Nothing like a hot shower after playing in the pool to relax a crazy wild boy!


So, outside of hotel pool adventures (we also enjoyed the pool at the Four Seasons downtown when uncle Jim was in town for his birthday) we've done a lot of chillin' here in Chicago with lots of fun visits with friends and family. We were able to hang out with the Dwyers, Chris and Sarah, the ENTIRE Dalach family, the Girtons, Jordan and Somerlie (at the Shedd!), the Goolsbys, GC families, De and Jacoah, the Perricones, facetime with the Roundys, and random friends at the park!

Here's Tigue trying to recover in the laundry basket :)

Levi and Tigue have also been a lot of fun to watch grow as siblings. Levi is still learning how to be careful with Tigue and be gentle, but they make each other laugh all day long (most of the time) and it is hilarious to watch!

This next picture is worth a thousand words but I'll sum it up in this... Jenny was on the phone in the kitchen and when she got off Levi had pulled his Elmo chair in front of the TV, turned on the TV, ejected the DVD currently in the player, inserted the Elmo DVD he wanted, and hit play once it got to the menu... the world these kids are growing up in - CRAZY!!

Tigue is absolutely in LOVE with solid foods. On this particular day he tried some black beans... his diet is very organic at this stage but if I let him he would be all over those girl scout cookies, PB&J sandwiches, and pizza that we had this weekend. He actually yells at me if I don't feed him fast enough... I seem to remember another JonesPod child with the same approach.

For those of you that missed this precious picture on facebook, here it is. Tigue is teething really bad and we are not fans of the "munch" but after a two+ month separation we decided to let the little dude be reunited with his munch - it was like not a day had gone by :)

Levi is pretty much ALL BOY, but jewelry is definitely his equalizer! And necklaces are a must have accessory whenever possible.

So, there you have it - the month of February! Hopefully that tax refund comes this week and we can get ourselves a new camera. I love the iPhones for having instant access to taking pictures but they are still not at the level of the nicer point-and-shoots. Now we just need to add a step to our clothes washing process - check the pile of clothes for buried "Levi Treasures." Thanks for being patient all and sorry again for the unnecessary delay. March should be a more simplified month and let's be honest I'm only creating more work for myself if I don't post on a weekly basis. Take care all and we'll "see" you this time next week!

"The LORD is not slow in keeping HIS promise, as some understand slowness. Instead HE is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
