other january wrap-up

Their new thing...

Wow.  The finished product...

Spent his Christmas money on this...

Bug loves to copy the bigs :)

Daddy found a fun new desk for Greer in prep for starting Kindergarten at home in the fall...they are all enjoying in the meantime

Love that they love each other...we finally just closed off Gehrig's room to save on heating costs since he never sleeps in there anyway :)

Art class with Mrs. Rucker

Cute hubby...always busy at work or play with us :)

Bama won the National Championship!  Fun watching with our Bullington friends...

Strolling into the schoolroom from bed one morning around 11...love that girl :)

A little toddler homeschooling...thanks for the puzzles, Uncle B & Aunt M!

I thought we would never get here!  Finally matching and naming colors :)

Sweetest

Meanwhile, Gehr and I work on school and he keeps something related to football closeby at all times :)

Awesome day at co-op with Swaziland missionaries sharing and teaching us so much!  They know our two Swazi kids too!!  They promised to take Gehrig's hug home to them :)

Fun with our co-op friends at the bowling alley

And a little "view from here"...blogging while Gehr works...

And quiet time after a busy Tuesday

Fun picture time with Garner...oh, her expressions :)

Our last Saturday before baseball...started with some favorite visiting.  Looked over and my heart melted.  It is such precious time there...

...and ended with a date night with him :)

Wii-kend playing...they let Garner think she was playing too

Another school pic because it's what we do.  :)  I did a couple of chores one morning and came back to find them waiting for me and reading animal encyclopedias.  Such sweet buddies.

Still enjoying our clean eating dinners...so different sometimes, but always good and so healthy!  Just wish my snacks and other meals were as good for me ;)

Love my quiet mornings with Him

...and snuggles with them when they wake and join me :)

I love to hear him read.

 And more toddler school...she was into it this day :)

Fun with fingerpaints the Links gave us for Christmas.  We miss having Greer home with us in the mornings.

B enjoys stormy weather on the front porch...while I'm checking for watches and warnings :)

And a praise for our God...so faithful and miraculous in His provision for us despite my forgetting not to worry.  I am so thankful.

Miller Playdates

We are so grateful for sweet families that our whole family connects with easily.  Getting to know the Millers this school year has been fun and proven to be great for all of us.  We enjoyed a couple of fun playdates in January before starting our busier baseball schedule.

Brandi picked up the big Gs for homeschool day at Monkey Joe's.  Garner napped and I worked while they had fun with other co-op friends there too.  So nice!

That night, B, Garner and I met them back at their house for dinner, visiting and sitting out by the fire late into the evening.  Time flies...

And then we enjoyed having their kiddos for dinner and playtime after a day at co-op.  So cute and fun together!

We love you guys and look forward to many more!
