I just love it when the boys do things with Evelynn. She sure is spoiled. She may not get as much one-on-one time with me, but she sure gets a lot of love from her whole family. She adores all of us...and we all adore her.
One of the kids' favorite past-time with their dad...watching videos on the Internet.

For Valentine's Day, Rob and I went out to eat at a nice restaurant and then to the Symphony to listen to Verdi's Requiem. I just love my man. I gave him the choice of going to the Symphony or to a hockey game and he chose the Symphony!

For the journal sake...for the last several months, Rob and I have been taking piano lessons. We've been trading off every other week for the lessons (but we just quit ths week to simplify life a little). These were the first piano lessons he ever took. He played the trombone in High School and even for the BYU pep band during his Freshman year of college. He also has a really great singing voice. Music is just a part of him. He taught himself how to play the piano, and he often (more than me) just sits down to play. While he was taking piano lessons, he was really dedicated. He would sit down and play his piece and practice it over and over until it was almost perfect. He was actually disappointed that the piano teacher didn't expect perfection from him...because he expected that from himself. He would practice a piece until it was almost good enough for a recital...just short of memorization. But, that's him. Whatever he does, he does with determination...and he gets really close to perfection. Even though I took lessons for over 6 years, we were playing songs from the same book...that's supposed to show how good he is (or it shows how lacking my piano is). He continues to amaze me...and he continues to bring out the best in me. I love you!

Here is the crawling video I promised. I can't believe how fast my baby is growing!!

It looks like your Evelyn and my Lily are at the same stage of development. I'm sure it'll just be a couple weeks and they'll both be crawling all over the place...watch out!

So fun to see your little girl crawling! Your video is like how mine turn out when the other child is trying to get attention as well. Cute! Zach will also tell me "Cheese!" and "Take a picture!" when I'm doing a video with the camera.
