The Back Yard That Was 1/2 Full...

I love when my children (and the neighbors children) see things optimistically,
I kept saying there wasn't enough snow out there to have any fun with, and they kept insisting there was PLENTY!!!
I was seeing the back yard as 1/2 empty and they were seeing it 1/2 full!!!
:)
I made hot chocolate for all the children in the backyard
(yes, we broke our "no sweets in January rule!) :)
and put all their hats, gloves and socks in the dryer for their next session in the snow!
It was so fun to watch them enjoy what little snow we got!

Addie Is Growing Up...

Danielle and I took Addie to the mall to get her ears pierced. She had already made one trip with Aunt Jenny a few weeks ago, but changed her mind after being told that it might hurt a little. I wanted this to be Addie's decision , so when she asked again today, we went. Before... Getting all the stuff ready to go. the lady marking her ears a little nervous... The store was full of people waiting on the lady to check them out and watching my baby get this done. In the middle of all that, I could hear this sweet little humming. It was Addie humming a song to keep her mind off of what was about to happen. here we go... Not so happy! She said "Momma it did hurt!" After OK, now she's happy! She loves Claire's Aunt Danielle was so proud of her! This was after her bath tonight. She wanted to take some more pictures of her new ears! Aaron had to have his picture taken too! She just looked so big tonight! My little girl is growing up so fast! She told me she liked...

Our morning...taking it one moment at a time

Addie with her toilet paper wrapped money gifts! Eating Aunt Jenny's coleslaw Aaron dressed Audrey This is a very hard season of life right now, Audrey Nella is a very, whinny two year old( I think she cries every time I talk to her ). Aaron wants to be with Allen all the time and cries when he leaves for work, and Addie is just up and down emotionally lately, BUT...I am so thankful that I have not missed any of these crazy days, or any of these great moments: Addie wrapped up some of her money in toilet paper and tape, and gave it to me for my early birthday gift. She told me that she had been loving all that money she had saved at Grammy's. She said that she knew that money was not bad, but that loving it was a sin! Aaron told me he loves when I listen to him with my eyes! Audrey Nella gives the best hugs and pats your back when you pick her up! I love these gifts form God! This parenting stuff is not for the faint of heart, it is long hard days of consistently pointing th...
