It’s been a LONG time since we last uploaded photos.  Actually, in truth it’s been a long time since we linked to the photos.  The slideshows have been sitting on the web for a while, but we upgraded our photo software and I didn’t know how to find the slideshows that I had put on the internet somewhere.  Today I decided enough was enough.  So I sat down with Frank to figure it out.   One feature of this new software is that you can sit back and just watch a slideshow.  If you’re impatient or want to linger on a photo, you can click through using the arrows at the bottom of the pictures.

I’m going to post a new slideshow every day this week so you can see them all in bits and pieces rather than being overwhelmed.  Of course, if you want to cheat you can go to our website and see everything there — they’re all up.  Otherwise, enjoy your daily blog posts from us this week!

Today’s slide show is from February.  It’s (thankfully) hard to remember what it was like to be buried under all that snow, now that I’m sitting here in a tank top with the windows open.  Nico, too, is much happier in the warmer weather.

Highlights from February include:

• Lots and lots of snow (did I mention that already?)
• Nico’s first visit to the pediatrician since he was born (for his 2 month visit).  He was 13 pounds, 12 ounces and 24 1/2 inches long.
• Nico’s first serious illness — he got RSV but fought it really well.
• Lots of time spent in the Botanic Gardens, soaking up the humidity to help him breathe easier.
• A visit with Cousin Ruth and her whole family at Cousin Matthew’s house
• Nico discovered his feet when we were at Suzanne’s (sweltering hot) apartment.  It was the first time it had been warm enough for us to have him sit around with no socks on!
• With all the snow, our trash hadn’t been picked up for over 3 weeks.  I was feeling very smug about using cloth diapers since our trash wasn’t really piling up….until our washing machine broke, that is!  Fortunately we got a new one delivered within 24 hours and it works like a charm.  So we were not buried in diapers…just snow.
