February

A picture says a thousand words...

Grandma and Grandpa Clayson came the day after Tag was born and stayed a couple of days.  They were lots of help with the kids and the house.  We were sad to see them go.

Dash took this picture of Tag using my phone one morning before school.  Everyone loves our little brother!

Everyone, including and especially, Sport.  In the mornings, Sport loves to snuggle Tag (who is inevitably in our bed taking up a disproportionate amount of space!). 

At 5 days old, Tag accompanied Sport, Sis, Grandma and Grandpa and myself to Dash's school to listen to his author presentation.  He wrote a fantastic nonfiction dinosaur book.

Grandma and Grandpa Madsen came to meet Tag the day he turned a week old.  The next day we all went to support Brandan while he coached his 9th grade basketball team in their final tournament for the year.  Brand's team played great and finished with a 500 season.  By the time Tag was 15 days old, he had attended 5 basketball games.

The boys and their Valentine Day boxes.  Dash made his bag at school, but Colt and I took on the project of making a Batman car for his card box.

Cam and the kids came for a short visit mid-February.  The weather was unseasonably warm and the cousins took full advantage!

Cousins!

On Tag's 10th day I was snuggling him on the couch when he started making a funny little noise in his sleep.  I looked down and he was laughing! It was the most beautiful thing ever.  Luckily my phone was nearby and I was able to snap a picture of his happy smiles.

Cute little Tagalong.

Two weeks old and taking his first bath.  Tag actually really likes a good soak, but the picture would appear to say otherwise.

Towards the end of February we got quite a Sunday afternoon snow storm. Brand decided to take advantage of the weather to use his "One Free Snowball Fight" coupon the boys gave him for Christmas. 

Tag decided to sit the snowball fight out.
