Did NOT like it!  Like, at all!

Little Valentines!

Our hearts are so full of love for these three!  Oh so grateful!

Our monkeys

You see them up there?Let’s take a closer look!They LOVE that tree!

Sweet as pie!

This girl

What an answered prayer and huge blessing she is to our family!  And the curls!  She’s starting to get my curls!

Our girl and her doll

I LOVE having dolls in the house!!

Because they’re growing too fast…

Just some after-church pictures of Sam and Margaret because Jack ran off to change faster than I could get my camera and because they’re all growing too fast!Then big brother came back, and it’s play time!

Mmmmmm!

Love them so!

Encouragement from our firstborn

Jack is LOVING that he can sound words out and write.  He’s very much in to notebooks and pens and making books.  These were two notes he brought to me after bedtime tonight.  Oh, wow!  Be still my heart!

Our little naturalist

Jack is LOVING all his time with Mr. Mancke-every other Thursday.  He came home today wanting to search the sky for birds and make something using Early Technology.  So he got his binoculars and pocket knife and headed out!  Loving this little naturalist!

Charlotte!

Mark and I had a fun weekend away in Charlotte!  Dinner with the Rabbs, sleeping in, room service, shopping, and relaxing!  Love, LOVE one-on-one time with my number one!

Crazy brothers!!

Bye, bye tree!

We took our tree down today-sad day!!  Sam saw the mess we made and said, “Mom, it’s not Christmas anymore!  That’s so, so sad!” and “Well, we’re making a mess in here.  You know daddy’s gonna see this!!”  Love this little helper!And he felt like a total super hero-watch!

Last day of Christmas

“Glory to the Newborn King!!”  Love, love the Christmas Season and celebrating it’s twelve days.  Margaret had to wear our favorite Christmas dress one last time, so we took pictures!That silly brother!
