February 12 - 18 2024

 Paul is on a new work schedule where he works Tuesday through Saturday and gets Sunday and Monday off.  So Monday was kind of like Saturday for us, we went to a new Greek restaurant in Reno and it was super yummy.  I taught violin that night and it went well.  

Tuesday was my birthday-thank you for all the birthday wishes!  It was pretty casual since we had celebrated over the weekend.  I talked to the new RS president I will be serving with and we talked about some ideas for the coming year.  I Facetimed with Mom and Dad that night while Paul was in a work meeting.  

Valentine's Day was fun, we got a valentine in the mail from Addie that had a Mr. Potato head picture and some stickers to put on his eyes, mouth, etc.  While Mary was putting the stickers on I gave her some kisses and she said, "no kisses mom!"  We watched some videos of Olaf and one of them kind of scared Mary.  She said, "Too scary! ... again?" haha it wasn't too scary if she wanted to keep watching.  Then we made a card and some chocolate covered strawberries for Paul and he came home with an Orchid.  

Thursday we went to the play group and it was a pretty nice day, so Mary and I hung out outside for a little while afterwards.  We met Megan and Kynlee at the park in the afternoon.  Mary loved playing with her and going on the swings again.  There's a farm right next to the park, so Mary and Kynlee were looking through the fence to see the goats and the dog on the other side.  

Happy birthday to Brianna on Friday! I babysat Josie and her baby brother, Jack, for an hour Friday morning while their mom taught a gym class.  Mary had a lot of fun with them.  Saturday we taught Paula with the sister missionaries and Mary got to play with Penny, Paula's daughter.  Sunday we drove around Pyramid lake and it was actually warm so it was nice to be outside and enjoy the weather.
