be my valentine.

Annual dates with our valentines.

Most of us weren't feeling good but we pushed through, in the name of love. :)

Daddy and Ellie dined at Cheesecake Factory.

The boys and I pulled up to our traditional place, Cosi. Cosi was no more. Boo.

So we headed down the street for some mexican eats.

 

The kids really look forward to this date night each year.

I hope they look back on these dates and remember how much fun it is to show each other love,

not just on Valentine's Day, but every day.

baptism bash

This was such a special day!

Watching two of your kids proclaim their love for Jesus publicly.

Seriously what it's all about! 

 

I'll never forget the night last fall when they asked Jesus into their hearts.

 

And I'll never forget seeing their excitement on this day.

They keep asking when they can get baptized again, they loved it so much. :)

God is so good!

 

a full christmas

 

we had a fantastically full december,

filled with all kinds of christmas crafts and learning about god's perfect gift.

 

so thankful and blessed to spend my days at home with these kids.

and yes, i am still picking up marshmallows. :)
