february misc

Double french braids and painting nails...definitely the girliest of us all at the moment :)

Mama has been inconsistent with Garner's reading lessons, but she is doing great when we do them...

Dinner out with Mammaw

And drawings found in Greer's room.  Oh my heart...

Silly kiddos waiting for their dentist appointments...

And unplanned matching times 3 at our weekly framily dinner ;)

Haha!  This girl is a mess :))

And we had a sweet time at the IF gathering downtown

Daddies and kids met us for dinner after our last session :)

Sweet buddy, Luke

And love this view :))

Some Valentine-y fun

And a day-in-the-life

I think this must have been after they cleaned up and made the beds...a picture-worthy moment for sure

And favorite Friday nights spent writing the Word on our hearts :)

Girl date with Daddy

And Matt's birthday golf with buds

LOVE

And fun playdates at the Ruckers

Greer's name on her scorecard one family game night...

And our sweet Gibb buddies :))

Joshua!

And a backyard February sunset

We loved babysitting for some neighbor friends...

And caught another beautiful sky at one of B's games.  I'm a little obsessed with His handiwork...

She made quite the breakfast for herself...

And love these thoughts...my delay in blogging gives us hindsight to know that Gehrig's wish was quite prophetic about Gench :))

Baseball buds

And father-son projects...also-known-as how to get the most channels without having cable ;)

Quiet Saturday morning time to listen and write in prep for retreat speaking

And a surprise visit to Libba's all by herself.  Her smile is so big!

Mama/kid lunch fun with friends :)

And these kiddos never get tired of each other

Snuggle

And sweet time with this crew

Finally, a little laugh given the earlier pics of the antenna...

On to March!

co-op and school in february

Co-op PJ day and Garner's cutie little class :)

And Greer's homemade valentines for her class :))

We arrived at co-op one afternoon and I realized Garner was practicing a new word ;).  Oh, the third kid life...

We love Daddy's school holidays...

And this one is learning to read...when I get around to working on her lessons with her :))

Art museum field trip

And a Greer journal entry.  Melt my heart...

madi's birthday

All our kids (even the ones with a different last name ;)) just keep getting older.  In February, Madi turned 9 and Greer loved the day celebrating with her and Leah...

So sweet...and crazy when I think back to the day she was born.  Thankful for these years :))

coach's family life

February brings baseball again...and we love it :))

middle school visitation day

We went to visit and "check things out"

He was great and good to go...

With lots of other staff-kids his age to join

And we left the day with a huge-step towards this being our plan

While his mama tries to be brave and not sad.  So hard :/
