February In Review
It's hard to believe February is already two months gone by. I've been remiss in my blog posting duties.
It was still snowing in February... So we made several trips to the sledding hill. (But why is Dana pulling the kids... UP the hill??)
February also featured Valentine's Day, and our favorite Valentine...
February also marked a major transition for Dana. She said farewell to her first law job, in order to pursue a new position at a firm with offices in Fort Collins focusing exclusively on biotech IP.
Before she left, we stopped by her old office to say 'hi'
And her former employer gave her a warm farewell lunch
Later in the month we took our now semi-regular February weekend away from the kids. We visited Saratoga, Wyoming, home of rejuvenating hot springs.
This picture does not show it, but it was absurdly windy all weekend, with high temperatures in the 30s. We had to scramble from hot pool to hot pool amidst the piercing, frigid winds of Southern Wyoming.
And out of nowhere in February came a truly amazing set of old Stangel family photographs, including several of my Grandpa (Alex's Great Grandpa)

Glancing over my photo archive, I see that there is still lots more to come! Cousin Oliver's baptism and the accompanying road trip, Alex's birthday party, and much more. Stay tuned.

Just a Lazy Winter's Day
Today was a positively gorgeous Colorado winter day, sunny and warm and drawing everyone out to enjoy the day.
We took a walk by the stream near our house, and then came back home to grill some hamburgers for lunch and eat a picnic lunch in the back yard. Then we decided to spent an hour or two pruning trees and bushes. The kids played very well in the yard while we worked. They were "feeding" the plants some new "rock juice" (that is, juice made out of rocks). The plants loved it.
