feb 2013: the rest

some miscellaneous february activities:

i know, i keep putting up pictures of daddy and girls playing games, but i just love it =)

we got a certifikid deal awhile back, making for an affordable and fun treat on a chilly winter day

when you're 3 feet tall, those rings are pretty far off the ground =p

c's chinese school had a group ticket promotion to the 'lizards and wockets' game, as little sis called it (asian heritage day =p).  we got to go with our friends the Ms, as well as college friend j.  c had fun practicing her two-digit numbers and telling us who was ahead.  the game turned out to be quite exciting towards the end, but my favorite moment was lu's assessment of the cheerleaders:  'the people down theyah have no clothes on their bellies and i can see their underweyah!'  hard to argue with that ;-)

 

 

40 days for life had its annual prayer watch in front of the late-term abortion clinic a few towns north of us.  i found out recently that it is one of only four in the country.  a young lady died there a few weeks ago as a result of an abortion at 33 weeks, so there was a particular poignancy this year.  if you haven't given much thought to the issue, i encourage you to read this summary of the pro-life position.

we brought a friend with us, and with my big belly and the three girls, i think we were an object lesson in valuing children =)

finally, we wrapped up the month with a happy birthday to daddy =)
