fast days!

The days have been going so quick lately! Here is why:

Last weekend we had our friend, Eli, here. His mommy and daddy were preparing for their house to go up on the market, in hopes of moving to Cedar Falls. One showing later and voila! God paved the entire way! We had a great time with Eli; making Valentine's treats, watching a movie with popcorn, going to McDonald's, and playing, playing, and playing. We were tired by Sunday night, as this sweet boy comes with a lot of energy!

Kinermusik has started back up on Mondays. With bath time in the morning, and recouping from the weekend, before I know it it's late afternoon and Daddy time! Dallas brings the kids to the library every Monday, and "Casey makes them a pizza." (This is what Maleah says. Get it? Casey's pizza). The kids look forward to this time, and I am still loving teaching.

This Tuesday was Valentine's Day, so celebrate we did (kinda)! I made Dallas's favorite meal, we got out the tablecloth, special jewels, fancy glasses with pink (strawberry) milk, and we made a pink cake! We had the Sowers' crew over, because Nicole just had her tonsils out and we were more than happy to provide the celebration!

Wednesday, this cutie patootie got his locks cut off. He now looks like a big boy. (sniff, sniff). I think he looks very handsome.

It's been busy, but exceptionally great lately. Sometimes days are hard (like a couple months ago...man, I couldn't win for losing). And sometimes days are extra fulfilling and I feel like overflowing with gratitude and joy. It's been those kind of days, and I am all kinds of thankful.

well pooey. no photos. i'll post them later. :)
