Hi friends,
I realize I have taken about a month to post ... my apologies. It looks like my last post was on January 25, exactly one month from today. (Which by the way also marks seven months since our wedding!) It's been a rough few weeks around the Ross house as Chloe spent last week home with the flu. Poor kid. It's so sad when they're sick. Zack had a cough that progressed into an infection in his lungs and now he's on antibiotics.
Anyway, here are some pictures from the last month. I think they are a little out of order, but at least there are pictures!
Hope this finds everyone doing well.
Much love,

We'll start with one of Zack's favorite activities ... homework! About once a month he gets an assignment to bring home. He has to read (or have a parent read to him) from a kid's magazine and then draw a picture of what he read about. No matter what the story, the picture ALWAYS has red, lots of red in it. :)
This was snapped on one of the days when I was working in Zack's class. Love this picture! 
Zack is seen here eating some chocolate chips. That's a big deal ... why? It means he tried something new. Since this was about a month ago I can't remember what he tried ... but it's a big deal. Zack doesn't like trying new things!
We cut Chloe's hair! Here is an after shot ... took off about 5 inches and now it's just below her shoulders. She really likes it. The day we had it cut she kept walking into the bathroom, looking at the mirror and telling us her hair was still cut. It was super cute! 
This was the last picture I took of her long hair. I sure do miss the long braids, but the short hair still goes into braids. I loved the big pink bow in her hair on this day. :) 
The main reason I feel so bad about not posting sooner: Chloe turned FIVE on February 1! We had a small party at the house with just the five of us and then had a family celebration the next weekend.
Another birthday picture, this one while she was opening presents.
Chloe opens her new princess desk set ... to accompany her new desk that we got her. Actually, it's a desk that I refinished. The stamps were the favorite part of this set. 
And here's the desk! 
Gavin was awarded student of the month! Nice job, dude! :) 
Another picture of Zack playing around at school. He was putting polka dots on the letter P.
Sometimes it's nice to have a quiet morning around the house. Gavin loves to play with his Star Wars action figures. 
Here, Zack and Chloe take turns wearing the baby in the back pack. Playing house is a big thing around our house. There is always a mom, dad and baby.
