Where To Begin?

* Well, it won't be at the beginning. You'll just have to read this how it's posted which isn't chronological order. Don't have the time or patience to move pics around today. *

The girls had Little Girls Baking Club last Saturday. They made a jar mix of Friendship Soup and heart-shaped cherry turnovers. They always love going, and I'm thankful they have such an opportunity.

Madi making her cherry turnover getting ready to 'crimp' the edges. (Thanks to my friend, Carmen, for taking pictures of the girls.)

Saying Makenna doesn't like to have her picture taken is an understatement!

Madi's on the far left of this picture. Everyone is lined up to make their jar mix --Friendship Soup.

A quick shot I grabbed of Makenna wrapping up her turnovers when I came to pick the girls up.

This is where we are weather-wise. Icy. Our driveway is a disaster. Someone even slid into another car a couple weeks ago because of the ice.

This shot was taken this morning. My first attempt to get the van up the driveway ended in us careening backward towards the ditch at the bottom. Thankfully the Lord protected us and the wheel was turned the right way that the van turned to follow the curve of the driveway once it hit gravel. HOWEVER, this is where it got stuck on my second attempt. =( Today and tomorrow are supposed to be near 50, so I'm hoping my van will melt its way out soon!

Last week, I went to a funeral in Pensacola, FL. The Hubley's adopted me when I was at college. The girls were in my wedding, and we've been able to keep in touch over the years. I've never been at a more beautiful and God-honoring funeral. Mr. Hubley had a wonderful life testimony and God's grace was evident in his life until the very end. It was truly and honor to be there.

My brother bought a house down there this summer. I enjoyed staying with him and spending some time with him. Didn't have time to take any pictures with him -- only pictures of his "under construction" house which I'm sure he'd rather me not post. =)

I was traveling during Super Bowl weekend. Everything at the airport was decked out in Steelers stuff -- vendors, eateries, check-in counters, the tyrannosaurus rex!

Our team didn't win, but we had a fun time cheering for them!

It was a late night for the kids. Makenna enjoyed staying up to watch the game. Think the others would have preferred to go to bed on time.

Daddy bought each of the girls roses for Valentine's Day! A couple weeks ago, he took them each on a date. Making good memories!

Yesterday, I went to the girls' school to observe Makenna's classroom. I also went to gym class with the girls.

Madison on the far right in the pink and black outfit. Never heard of it but they were playing Sharks vs Baracudas. The one team hides their eyes while the other team quietly sneaks up. The teacher yells, "Here come the Baracudas!" and they turn around and chase them back. Something happens when they get tagged, but it was a little confusing besides I was holding the divider when the kids ran into it.

If you think of it, please pray about the schooling situation. It looks like we'll be pulling Makenna out of school soon. We're waiting to hear back from the school, but she wants to be taken out and there are some educational issues with her / her class.
