February and a new family member

We are keeping busy with school, church, and work. January went by pretty quickly and now we have Valentines knocking on the door. I am looking forward to Spring, to get out and work in the yard. I am one of the crazy people who love to work outside and get my therapy from doing it. It has been so mild lately that some of my bulbs are trying to pop up. I am hoping that they stay in the ground at least another month. We have hardly had any snow since Christmas. It is crazy.
I have a few pictures of the kids and also of the newest member of our family. Yes, we broke down and got a kitten. We saw one on a local classified website and just could resist. The boys have named him "Spike". (not the name I would have chose, but oh well) He is a siamese mix, very handsome. We have only had him since Saturday, so we are still working on getting use to having him. He is a very scared, shy cat, so hopefully he will warm up to us eventually. The kids are LOVING him. They won't leave him alone. Ashlyn even gets excited around him. It is fun to see them interact and play with him. Anyways, that's what's going on around the Kohl house.



My kiddos!

Yes, she can stand, but hasn't dared to walk yet!
Watching her brothers play the Wii!
Watching Spike hiding down the stairs.
Not the best picture of him. But you get the idea. He has beautiful blue eyes.
Spike found this favorite spot only hours after we brought him home.

Hobie would sleep in our dirty clothes basket, but then when you are shut up in the laundry room for the night that's was probably the most comfortable place in there. Have fun with the kitten. Sure miss you all.
