The Quarter Chart

Rachel has really been wanting a guitar.  This is the first time for Rachel really wanted a toy not on her birthday so we let her earn it doing extra jobs for a quarter.  Rachel was so excited when she earned.  It's fun to see her try to be a rock star now.

Visitors

We convinced more people to visit us!  Joe's brother Steve and his family came to visit.  It was a lot of fun.

We took our guests to the Wildlife Center again and took the classic picture.

Right after we should them the Keeneland horse racing track.  We're gad the weather was decent so we could do some outdoors stuff.  

Lily's Blesing

Lily Was blessed March 10th. We were grateful some family was able to come. Below are some pictures from her little photo session the day after.  This is as artsy, photographer as I get.

*The Dress*

(I know these photos lack many photography skills but I was pretty proud of myself for even thinking of taking pictures of the dress and accessories and for moderately staging it.)

Kitchen Skating

This is how Rachel and Lincoln have spent a lot of their snow day.  Kitchen skating.  We only have one pair of skates so Rachel lets Lincoln have one skate and she gets the other.  Surprisingly they're very content with just one skate.  Hannah just likes to be in pictures.

Lily

It's fun to take pictures of Lily.

Valentine's Day

Rachel and the kids were very excited about Valentine's Day so we tried to make it special.  This is what we came up with.

 We heart attacked all the kids door and gave them Valentine's with assorted filled chocolates. (They were excited by the idea but only liked one of the chocolates.   Isn't that part of Valentine's Day?)

 I did a special Valentine's Day hair-do for Rachel. (That's a heart in her hair)

 Nothing says love like heart pizzas.

 Special pink plates for dinner.

Valentine's Day cookies with more sprinkles than cookies.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I love this thing!

This wonderful swing is why we get any sleep at night and why I can sometimes get stuff done during the day.  What a blessing!
