Cold Hands ... Warm Hearts

This Valentine's Day, I got the flowers ... 
And Brian got the Candy.
 
The night before Valentine's Day, Hannah told me she was going to make me a card. Her dad helped her achieve this goal. It reminds me of the old Family Circus Valentine show where PJ makes a Valentine for his momma.
 
Grandma Aldred sent Hannah a shirt with a heart vest and a little feeding set for Zachary. Hannah feeds Zachary 1-2 times per day.
  
 Sometimes she siphons some his food.
For dinner again this year, we went to the Boy Scout Fundraiser. These are the shots that Brian and I took of each other while we were waiting for our dinner salad, and just before I thought to go check on Hannah. 

She goes to nursery class on Sunday just fine, but she hated going on Friday. It must have been because there were a lot of people she didn't know and her nursery leaders were not there. I went back to check on her and found her in a terrible state, so she came and finished dinner with us. Her little sad face breaks my heart.

Glad Zachary is getting nourishment! LOL..so cute. Sorry she had a miserable time in the nursery so the parents could eat the dinner. Must have been scary with lots of different people.

Love the blogs!

The Year-Long January

The joke is that January is the longest month of the year. I thought it went quickly. Classes started and winter cold set in. We went to the eye doctor and Hannah waited for the doctor so long, she grew a beard.  Ultimately she decided on glasses that would make her look like Supergirl. I think she really pulled it off. All month I was on pins and needles about the government shutdown trying to decide if it was safe to fly to a conference. Luckily for me, the poor TSA workers and federal folks were able to get back to work. However, the planes I took (4 in all) were mostly empty and I got a row to myself. There was also a polar vortex that didn't help air travel looks appealing. I got there late at night and the room they had left was a large hotel suite. I took it. My colleague Michael Dunn and I divided our presentation up. We both did well. I also found a few good folks from Kansas. Then, I left Indy. When I wasn't worki...

Bygone April

 We decorated for Easter in April. Low key, but cute. Hannah helped make some of them. She even did this painting of the eggs.   And the ceramic ornament in the little house. After Easter I went to Toronto for AERA.   After AERA Easter came. We went to the annual Easter egg hunt.  And colored our own eggs.  And went to church. At the end of the month, we visited my parents in Utah, traveling by plane. It was sunny one of the days and cloudy and rainy the rest, but the visit was nice.  And that was April.
