Love abounds

We hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day weekend. We finished out the week very busy with attending more Special Olympics events. We were able to visit the figure skating finals however, it is very difficult to take pictures of figure skaters. :) Here are a few pictures of the competitors:

This is Timothy .... He is a skater from Canada and my favorite. Here he is warming up:

And here he is in his final routine where he had such great energy and was having so much fun. He skated excellent and his finish was enthusiastic! He took the gold medal for this routine! :)

We were also blessed to attend the closing ceremonies. This event was a little strange, more of a party for the athletes with us as spectators. It was heartening to see though as the bands played, all the country colors mingling with each other in a great sea of different flags and colors. We could learn so much from this!
On Thursday evening Jordan had a Valentines day dance at her school. She looked so sweet and yet so grown up too. She is such a beautiful girl.

On Valentine's day we had a very nice family breakfast:

Then spent the day watching movies and relaxing. In the evening, Jordan went to babysit and Cobi and I watched an old Audrey Hepburn movie and had a very nice dinner.

The rest of our weekend has been spent relaxing as a family. Playing aggravation and we are heading to see the movie Coraline this afternoon! It is chilly here, snowing still and we are so ready for spring. Only 53 more days until we leave for Aruba! Yeah!
