Happy Presidents' Day

Land of the free, home of the brave...

Take me out to the ballgame...

McKinley has started t-ball. The first practice was a little intimidating...for all of us. Up to that point, it had only been about accessorizing...helmet, pants, socks, pink ball bag, girlie bat, and RED cleats. :) But McKinley & Daddy practiced hitting, catching, and throwing a couple times since then. Mommy & McKinley practiced telling the boys "Eat My Dust" for when they watch the only girl on the team lead the pack! Today was their second practice and with a little newfound confidence, it went really well.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying all the varieties of loved ones today. The girls celebrated this week with their classmates and brought home way too much candy, as expected. They made their own valentine's boxes...works of art if you ask me! This morning we had heart-shaped pancakes, let the girls open a little goodie bag, and enjoyed some coffee on the back porch. We have a date tonight with several other couples and I'm hoping to catch a quick snooze before I have to try to make myself presentable.

The Aftermath...

After a wonderfully BIG Christmas Day, we got the girls to bed, sat on the couch with a beverage, and I couldn't help but take a shot of the aftermath. So blessed!

Christmas Morning

Finally, Christmas had arrived! Amazingly enough, the girls managed to avoid Santa's "Naughty" list. Low and behold...Barbie fishing poles! They even had their names on them. The girls were quite excited, as were we. We've already had fun with them.

Christmas Cookies

Okay, so we're now fast approaching the "Hallmark Holiday" and I'm just now getting the last 2 months...well month and half... of happenings blogged in. Fortunately for those tuning in, I've got a lot to do, I haven't had any wine tonight, and I'm pooped! Below are pictures from baking cookies for neighbors & classmates.
