February!

Well, 2010 has gotten off to a rocky start. We have all been in various stages of illness for the past 4 weeks. I, honestly, am waiting for the host of "Hoarders" to show up on my door step due to all the piles of junk that have appeared throughout my house.

But, now that I'm feeling a little better, I thought I'd update everyone on all the 'going's on' of the Steindorf's. I mean, besides all the coughing and puking!

Luckily I had about 3 days between colds to get this cake done for a customer. Nothing too special, in fact I offered to do this without pay because I thought I could have done better. But the customer was wonderful, said his wife loved it and it tasted great. So I guess that's what counts.
Last weekend, the sun came out and the temperature hit almost 70. So, Chloe and her friends felt it was time to go swimming. And for some reason, Craig thought that was a great idea.

Well, after about 10 minutes of them running around the pool, dipping their toes in and squealing, I offered up a cupcake to any of them who could sit in the 55 degree water for two minutes.

These were the winners. As you can see, neither of my children could do it.
In fact, here's Chloe's attempt at getting in.

Logan never did get in.

(you think this event may have had something to do with all the colds?)

Logan, of course turned five.

Luckily I had a small cake in my cake fridge. It was purple. But, after another layer of blue frosting and some fondant Dino's, Presto - Logan's birthday cake. He didn't seem to mind that it was still purple when you cut into it.

I'm currently making another one for his "Birthday Bowling get together" tomorrow.

Chloe drew Logan a special birthday banner. Logan thought it was very cool.Even Logan will tell you, she's a pretty great big sister!

And, the children inadvertently got a special Valentine's present.

We're happy to announce the arrival of two new family members.

Coco and Brownie Another girl scout leader needed a home for these two sisters, but didn't want to break them up and Craig and I had been thinking about getting the kids something.

And, no we can't tell them apart either.

And I got a special Valentine's treat myself. Even though I think flowers are a total waste of money, especially on Valentine's day, I secretly loved getting these at work.

Gerber Daisies are my favorite.

Thank you Craig. No matter what you may have heard,

I think you're pretty terrific.

Our little big 5 year old

Happy Birthday to the cutest little 5 year old I know.

I can't imagine what our lives would be like without this little boy.

Logan - You're the best.

Now have a tookie!
