February Fun


Steve's Birthday!

February catch up time!  So many fun events and happenings at the Faust House.  We celebrated Steve's birthday with a yummy dinner and cake, Melissa's birthday with a dance party.  Steve continued his celebration with the guys in Astoria attending a Stout and Porter Beer Festival.  As a family, we went to Northwest Children's Theater production of Sleeping Beauty (with Puppets!) with the Rocks and had an excellent time.  We watched the Super Bowl (well, I watched the commercials) at the Flynn's.

At Vestal I attended STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Day with Maddy and made a bridge out of straws and rubber bands.  I also went to Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration at Vestal and sat with the kindergarten class to enjoy the production.

Maddy got new footie jammies with kitties on them, and a kitty face on her bum (makes me chuckle).  She drew a neat photo or two and we built a swing for Jingles together.  Included in this update are some Chicago, Bayfield and Knife River family updates.  February was a great month
