Aubrey's Poem

"He who still calls child of He when stealing,
He who forgives when sneaking,
The Lord is the greatest of all,
No one can be greater than Him."

-Aubrey Grace, just about 8 years old

Tears from this Mommy. Just what I needed to hear today.

The Week in Photos

This is Henry, Stuart's buddy. They were two peas in a pod when our friends, Jack and Sarah, were visiting. We also enjoyed the visit from Kate, Henry's baby sister.
 The day after the Smiths left we enjoyed the first snow of the year. It shut everything down and the kids have been living out there every day since.
 Emmett doesn't prefer the snow, unless it means sledding with Daddy. "NO, DAD-DY," was a frequent phrase on Monday. So, being the obliging Daddy that he is, John took him to the garage and set up the tee-ball set.
 Heaven.
 These guys were still busy. I think they are showing off their 'iceberg,' here.
 ...and sledding in the backyard.

 This kid looked so grown up here, I had to take a picture.
 Drive-in movie night complete with popcorn, a cookie, and hot chocolate. Because why shouldn't I load them up on sugar right before bed, while riding solo for the week? Let's just chalk that one up to, 'not my finest moment.'

New Cousins!

These two little cuties made their debut on the 2nd. How fitting that precious twin girls would be born on 2/2!
Dan & Shana, we are so excited with you on the arrival of Maelynn Jane and Emrynn Ann! We can't wait to get acquainted in about 3 months!
Seriously. So cute.
