Office Space

Allison has decided she needs an "office" in my office. So she got the piano bench a stool and her computer and set up shop. She even has a blanket down for a rug. So funny.
She is a mess and I love her so much.

School music night

 There is Reagan on the front row in the turqoise.

Reagan had a small concert tonight. It was very cute. The songs were great and everyone was really loud and clear. They had a great sound for 4th grade. Sorry Daddy missed it.

Birthdays

Reagan and Taylor both had birthdays this month. Tay turning 19 and Reagan 10. I can't believe that. It feels like only yesterday Tay was Reagan's age. Crazee. Taylor celebrated with friends and we gave her money and a bunch of candy with notes with it like: PEEPS (we love peeping into your life and watching you grow up), ALTOIDS (we are glad you are curiously strong in the Lord), and so on...She liked it.

Reagan decided she wanted a sleep over with Katie for her birthday. So we had a party! They ate, they sang, they danced, they went nuts all over the house. What a fun time. 

Winter Break

We are out for winter break this week. The girls are so glad. So am I, no homework for a week! Yay!
I mean it, it is excruciating some nights.

Anyway, because Daddy is going to have surgery and we are VERY worried about it he took some time off too so we could just do some things as a family before he is out for a few weeks.

We ate out, we went and did shopping for Reagan's birthday. We had a lot of fun just hanging out together at the house. We played cards and watched some movies together. One favorite was Secretariat. SO GOOD!

We also had Reagan's party this week and just generally hung out together and made the most of our time.
I love our family and how close we are in this season of life. I know the teen years are coming and it saddens me. BUT we are trying to do some things to lessen the blow later. We have learned something nothing from raising one child!!

Friends and Ping Pong

We have some great friends that got a new travel ping pong table. So we planned a date night at our house and invited another couple too. We had a blast. Allison had her Wii game going (too little for these ping pong games!) and Bob gladly played with her some. So sweet.

We had a great time! The boys get real competitive with it. But so does Steve's wife Cristi! They are hilarious and about 2 weeks after this night they came home with us from church, had lunch and played again. Then we all went and took naps before evening church. What a fun afternoon.

February Basketball

 This was a great season. We really enjoyed ourselves. She has never been happier in a sport.

 There she is on the far left (of both top and bottom pics). She is so happy!

She got the award for most improvement from start to finish. She was the only one who hadn't played basketball before. So she did great.

Exciting news!

I was asked by Precept Ministries to be a part of a new promotional video. I can either go to Chattanooga and film or do it here at the church.
So exciting! I am praying about what to say in my 45 seconds of fame! Ha! Just kidding. I am so honored!!!!
