It will come....

Valentines is my new favorite holiday. 
We had such a good day. 
So good in fact, that we didn't take any pictures. 
But we ate dinner by candlelight, had a FHE filled with hearts and
 a lesson on love and some strawberry shortcake for dessert. 
We gave the kids Mad Libs, which I knew they would love and of course, they do.
 And Trevor and I stayed up waiting for Anna to fall asleep so we could celebrate. 
We ended up falling asleep ourselves for a short little nap. 
And she eventually fell asleep which she thought would NEVER happen. 

And today has been such a beautiful day!!!!!!!
We had the windows open this morning while I was cleaning
and we went to the park where we played and ran around and swinged on the swings. 
(thats how Joshua says it and I don't know the proper way; swang, swung??)

And although we have a couple of days of snow ahead of us
I know that spring will come eventually.
I can't wait.

I have loved reading all the Valentine's Day posts!

It was a beautiful day indeed!! -The children wanted to play outside, and I startled to bundle them up, only to realize it wasn't really necessary.
Spring will come, Sarah, and it will be glorious...

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
