Savannah turned 27 this week! Her birthday was on Monday, but we celebrated on Sunday. Sarah, Megan, and I collaborated for dinner. We each made a different gluten-free Chinese dish! We had orange chicken, beef and green beans, and potstickers. Yum! We later opened presents and had gluten-free cake. We even played a game of Seven Wonders. Good times!

On Monday, Savannah went out to lunch with her friend, Jessie, and then went shopping and spent the afternoon with Megan! They even got to see Savannah's friend Joanna's new baby.

Bethany had a good week. She went to play practices and to karate. For young women's, we had a gallentine party at our house. We talked and made tootsie roll grams to bring to school and give to people who would look like they needed a pick-me-up. On Saturday, Beth had a free afternoon, so she texted out to her sisters to see if anybody wanted to do anything. She ended up going with Sarah and McKay to get burgers. Fun times!

Benjamin had a good week, though he seems to be coming down with a bad cough. He didn't go to school on Friday because it was Career Day and you were supposed to shadow your parent at work. I dropped the ball on figuring out how to make that happen, so instead, he stayed home and studied up on becoming a chess champion and (once I got possession of the controller) we watched YouTube videos on what it's like to be a doctor, engineer, and architect. (Apparently, no one really likes their jobs after they graduate and they become YouTube video makers instead. This is what I learned on Career Day.)

I worked all week and watched Avery three days so I didn't get much accomplished while I was home! Kevin bought me flowers for Valentine's day and he brought home Indian food for dinner. Yum! We ate that while Beth and Ben had a heart-shaped pizza.

We got to see Cali and Chey on Saturday which was so fun! They stopped by and did some homework and laundry. I got good hugs and updates. They are both working super hard!

Kevin is keeping up with his writing and walking and creating goals. He is very energized by them and for the most part, his health is staying good. Yay for that!
