Don't Get Dizzy!

Awesome God

So cute!

This video may be sorta gross to anyone who isn't her mama or daddy, with all the drool and all.  Mike videoed her and I think she'd just finished her oatmeal without being cleaned up (PJ's, nappy hair, and all).  I love her singing this song.  She learned it in Wellsquirts and has been requesting it at bedtime a lot lately.  

Again, so thankful that my kids get to so frequently be in an environment that teaches them truths about God so young.  :)  May it grow their hearts and minds (and mine!) to be in tune with God's economy more than the world's.  

Oh, and can you tell she is the sibling of a speech kid with her over enunciation of the final consonant sound?  And she's just a little silly.

Sweetness

Enjoying the warm day and each other!

A Helicopter

Hopefully, the video is working now... Turn your head to the side ;)

(probably not the best idea for a child with his history... but he is clueless of that... he only knows that he is passionate about vehicles and his imagination is wild.)

I felt certain that it wasn't "real", that he was being silly.  The silliness felt a little more justified when he explained  that he was being a helicopter.  I think it freaked out the coach a little, for good reason.
(Men or boy mamas, please tell me this is somewhat normal...)

mid-feb

I saw this happy heart banner here and the kids and I made it over the weekend.  I love it!

...and love the festiveness it adds to our mantle.  (Its the small things!)

Yesterday, I took the kids for yogurt during naptime (our first time ever) as a V-Day treat... 

 And, today is a BIG DAY... one that we've been looking forward to and talking about and counting down to for a few weeks!...

 Yep, we are going to the circus tonight!  We are all so excited!

(fyi, for other Richmonders, its 1/2 price the first night so that's why we are going tonight)

I've wanted to go for a few years but this is our first.  I hope its FUN!
Its bound to be better than Feb 15th last year!

(I bribed her with the candy so she'd talk to the camera.  Thanks, Aunt Joy!
We are excited about the elephants and clowns too... but I think its cute how she does her fists when she says "roar!"... and ironic that she most often talks about the lions and what they say b/c in reality, that roar may be really scary... So there will be lots of happily holding her!  :)

Video of Lily

I hope this works!  My first video!

Before I left for Louisiana, I woke Lily up and videoed a 'hello' for Kari, Melissa, Della, and Luke ;)

LB is too cute!  She sounds like a little parrot!
