The first week was difficult, partly because change in general can be overwhelming for me and partly because I am suffering from a mild to moderate case of PTSD while also trying to learn new things, but thanks to my new co-workers, the second week was much better. And check out that title :)

Lilly's 4 year old stats:
Height: 40 in (65th percentile)
Weight: 37 lbs (67th percentile)
She is perfect in every way!

Polar fleece sheets. Get some. They just may change your life. #cozy
Ellen stopped biting her nails. We are so proud of her!
And she can ride her bike without training wheels! She is still overly cautious and somewhat hesitant, but she has come a long way.
Lilly only likes the blue kind of Chapstick (original).

Phillip bought me a MacBook Pro. It was a total surprise. Are we keeping this? Do you have the receipt? Not only can I blog in bed, the ultimate goal, but it will come in handy if I ever need to work from home.

We went to Opry Mills two Saturdays ago. The girls had so much fun at the Bass Pro Shop. They also got to ride the carousel. Life is good.
Phillip's competitive side comes out when he's playing Mario Cart. He can't handle anything less than 1st place. I have similar tendencies when playing Yoshi. We must get all of the yarn!

Phillip and Ellen went to the Father/Daughter dance at Heritage last weekend. They had a great time. Ellen danced her little heart out :)
...
Laurie came over Sunday afternoon to cook for us and watch the Super Bowl. Ellen helped her make brownies before we went to church. I was very pleased with the outcome of the game :)

Ellen is really into time. What time it is, how long we will be gone, what time it will be when we get back. Mostly because she doesn't like going places but I like to think that deep down she has the family's best interest at heart.

We don't have big plans for Valentine's Day because every day is like Valentine's Day around here - wink, wink. And maybe because I share a bank account with someone who purchased a laptop in the last 10 days. Either way, we are keeping it simple. We gave the girls personalized fleece blankets from Land's End, which they love, and I have a few treats and surprises saved for Sunday. Love is in the air!
