February

February was a crazy, hard, but beautiful month for our family.

We lost Randy’s Grandpa Rod in on February 5th. We were so sad, but it was also bittersweet because Rod had been in so much pain and had been suffering for months. We were so grateful we’d had time with him in November, and it was amazing to have Randy’s parents come home to celebrate Rod’s life. He was such a beautiful person, who wore his heart on his sleeve, and instilled a life and attitude of service into his family. Randy remembers him babysitting the boys and telling Randy what an amazing pianist he was, gushing about it, and Randy feeling so loved and cared about that he would give that attention to detail. He is the reason Randy is the first to go shovel a driveway or lend a hand to someone. We are so grateful for his legacy and his love.

We celebrated Randy turning the big 3-0! We got away for a weekend and did a wreck it room with friends, ate yummy food, went to Guitar center shopped, and had a great getaway. We did 30 presents for 30 days leading up to his big day and it was a blast.

We got to go meet some Jazz players for a Junior Jazz party and the boys loved it! Any time they see THT or Walker Kessler play they remember that they got to meet them!

Graham is quite the photographer and loves to take photos of his brother. He loves to invent games for him and Wells to do, and has such a wonderful imagination. He is a great helper, a fantastic reader, and loves math the most in school. He is so outgoing and loves to play with friends now. Graham wants to do his hair like Dad’s all the time, wear necklaces, anything he can to be like dad! He loves DK and video games.

Wells is a little copycat and wants to do whatever Graham is doing. He loves to run into our room and cuddle in the morning. He is OBSESSED with music and wants to jam all day long, begging us to turn the music louder. He is sweet, opinionated, loves eating anything, and is getting to be so fun.

Baby bro is looking so cute! We loved getting some ultrasounds of him this month and seeing his cute face up close. He’s a mover, always has his hands covering his face in ultrasounds, and we are so excited he’s coming so soon!

Dad taught Mom and all their friends kickboxing in February which was SUCH a blast. We had the best time! Mom has diabetes again which is expected but not fun. We’re figuring it out again and it’s always worth it!

Concerts, a Galentine’s party, lots of busy days and busy nights, but lots of fun have rounded out our February. We are so happy, we feel so lucky, and we love this life!
