Greetings and salutations, friends and family! It has been weeks since I posted anything new. (sorry) I was waiting for some pictures from my sister-in-law, Renee, but she has not sent them.....ehem...Renee...send the GWL pics! hahaha
Ok, so not much is new. The boys spend (or at least try to spend) most of their time playing video games. ( Wii or ninentdo DS) Curse the video games! Heath has officially changed into a Mario character. He draws pictures related to the different worlds he's beaten....or not. He often takes little people, or dinosaurs, army guys, whatever he can find, and plays "Mario"! (deep sigh)
Jack also likes to play, but he's not quite as dramatic as Heath (I'm sure that's not a shocker) We have been playing "The Ladybug Game"....a lot! The boys got it for Christmas, but I don't remember from who. Nana and Papa maybe? Well, whomever, thank you so much! The boys love it!
Also, we have been reading books about people from the past...Abigail Adams, Daniel Boone, Elizabeth Blackwell, The Wright Brothers...it has been so great. Curious George is also a family favorite. Because we haven't had much snow this winter, so far, the boys have not been able to enjoy it as much as usual...and it has been bitterly cold, so when I do send them out, it's not long before they are knocking at the door with pink cheeks!
Last week Jack was honored at school (they call it 'fishing') for their monthly moral focus...courage! His teacher honored him and a classmate for displaying courage i.e. making good decisions etc. We were so proud. I went to "muffins for Moms" two weeks ago to celebrate the letter "M" in Heath's class. Fun and Yummy! And Craig went to "Donuts for Dads" last week sponsored by the PTO. Valentine's Day parties are this week and I'm in charge of bringing sugar cookies to Jack's class. We are doing his class valentines today. Fun!
We stay busy going to the YMCA, playing games and playing with friends in the neighborhood and Craig takes the boys every Saturday to get donuts (while mom sleeps in : ) ). I'm in a bible study (Beth Morre's Esther...love it!) and I'm currently mentoring a little girl from an under-priveleged school in GR once a week. Craig, is still working and is doing a little project on the side for a neighbor. He is also in a men's book study "Case for Christ" once a week (6 am!) and plays basketball once a week as well. So, as you can see we're all busy. God is good! We are looking forward to heading south this March (ssshhh, the boys don't know yet...) for a little warm weather and R&R and Jack's birthday is next week!!!! He's going to be 8! (how can that be?)
Stay warm, my friends!
