Yippee! We Finally Got Snow!

After a very long wait this winter season, we finally got some snow! It came at a weird time weather wise, but now worries, we'll take it!
Margaux and Jane playing on the back porch Sunday night in their pj's, as the snow was falling.
Above are pictures of the snow coming down Sunday evening. It was so beautiful, SO cozy! It is always so peacefully quiet during a snowfall--I LOVE IT!

The children played outside all Sunday afternoon. Today we were all outside by 10:00 heading across the street to my sister Dolly's house to go sledding.

Margaux started the morning crying. She actually started crying in the house before we came outside. I'm still not sure why. Nothing, I mean NOTHING made her happy.

Sweet babygirl!

Me and Jane.
That's right...crying!
Dolly and Michael...
...getting ready to...

...wipe out!
Not kidding! STILL crying!
Jane and Michael, I tell you what, these two sweet babies are the funniest! They can be mad at each other one minute and hugging on each other the next. They are really funny to watch!
Dolly and Jane.

And last but not least...

...finally right before we went in for lunch,
I got a smile out of this sweet girl!

I just realized I didn't get any pictures of Harry Jack, or Maddie. They were there too, I don't know why I didn't get pictures of them???? Anyway, we played hard today, so hard I had to pass out some Tylenol to a few kiddos. Now we're all sitting around watching a little TV. We just found out school is delayed 2 hours tomorrow, yippeee! Thank you Jesus for giving us a beautiful snowfall to play in on this 2012 President's Day!

Happy 14th Birthday Maddie

This past weekend, Saturday February 11, was Maddiegirl's 14th birthday. We started the celebration on Friday night, by taking Maddie and her friend, Teagan, out to dinner and to a movie. We sent Danny, Harry Jack, Margaux and Jane to my parents, and sisters homes so that Maddie and Teagan could enjoy a quiet night at home without any little ones crying or bothering them.

Saturday night, we invited our family over to celebrate Maddie. Below are some pictures of Maddie on her birthday.



I cannot believe that Maddie is FOURTEEN! Wow, those years sure did go by fast.

Maddiegirl, we are so proud of you sweet girl! You are such a beautiful girl INSIDE and out. I cannot wait to see the plans God has for you as you continue grow up unto Him!
