February

The month came and went fairly quickly. We didn't get to do much and we didn't get much done. We were tired of having a driveway full of cars and Terry kept lamenting over missing his Trooper, so we decided to set everything aside and get it done so that we could return it. He kept telling us not to worry about it and to just work on it when we had time, but we never have time and since the kids came home with another vehicle to fix, there wasn't going to be any time any time soon.

The girls drove the car back down to them and he turned around and drove them right back up. Traffic was horrendous though, so it took a lot longer to deliver it and get them back up here. He took us out for a late lunch when they finally made it back.

For Valentines Day, the girls and I decided to clean Christian's TJ for him since he is always too busy fixing everyone else's car to take care of his Jeep. Except for spraying down the undercarriage and engine compartment when we work on the vehicle or went out wheeling, it has never been cleaned. So, we cleaned it inside and out, treating plastic interior parts and exterior fenders and hard top. It was a bit more than we bargained for so we didn't get to polishing or waxing the vehicle. It looked so different when we were done! It was weird. 

I also got him a neat little 3-D printed tray for his center console. The center console is just a huge cavernous space that everything gets lost in. It is nearly impossible to find anything in it...especially small things like the tire gauge or a pen. The tray sits on top so you have access to those things while you can still store bigger things in the cavernous space below.

We really didn't know how much we would be able to get done on it anyway because a weather system was threatening to come half the day. Luckily, Christian got home and got to see his Jeep before it started to rain...just barely!

Besides that, we just did some maintenance items on some of the other vehicles that had been needed. 

The girls and I went to the dentist for cleanings and checkups. Caitlyn has never had a cavity in her life so far and although Emily had a few on her baby teeth when she was younger, has not had any since. So far so good!

Christian was just working on surviving work and the kids were doing their online classes. They gave up on trying to get a job, there's not much time left now anyway. We were all trying to survive the weather. It's been really cold this winter. We even got a bit of snow and sleet a couple of times.

The first time, Caitlyn and Emily ran up the Two Trees Trail to catch the snow on the mountain.
