February = Love month!!

It's been a busy month.  

Lots of activities for Mary.

And 2 bouts with sickness.

Mary was back into the swing of school, when she got hit with the stomach flu for a few days one week, and then later, that upper respiratory thing that's going around.

She still has a bit of a cough from that one.

In between that, we did some fun stuff.

The 2nd week of February, her Special Needs Mutual Organization had a roadshow.

They had been practicing for weeks.

Sadly, I wasn't able to go (my foot was super bad that day) but Dan took lots of pictures and told me all about it.  

Mary really likes Special Needs Mutual.

I remember the first few times she went.

She would scream and cry all the way to the car.

Now she goes so happily and willingly.

Last week, she took off out the door without us!

Now that's progress!!

 Then, her brother and his girlfriend came for a visit.

She doesn't look like it, but she IS having fun.

We did lots of family stuff, plus we went on a picnic to Pioneer park.

  It was a REALLY good weekend with Mary.  

Loren's girlfriend, Samantha, sat and did puzzles with Mary for quite a while.  Mary loved it and was quite animated the rest of the evening! 

She also got to have a Valentine's Party at school!

Here are some pics of Mary's school and friends.
