So my friends and family can be up on life here in GR

'But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.'

February, you were fun!

This month I thought, I should get back to more blogging, and then all the sudden it was the 26th. #forgetit

February was out the gate strong with doughnutty fun at Van's with our friends!

 Followed by playtime at Grammy Judi's. Rowan and I were totally twinning :)

 Saturday morning sunshine does all the bodies good

Polish grandma's everywhere can rejoice - the art of pierogi making it NOT dead!

Happy Birthday to me started a day early with my girlfriends and a chocolate tart!

Rynie and more doughnuts helped me celebrate on the big day

As did presents, cake, and my baby honey bear

Birthday banner - he loves me.

 We ended the week in Boyne - we love our cousins and the Great White North


 Hi Madge!

 Happy Valentines Day!!! Thank goodness Jenn was willing to fish them out and get them down :)


Family love day! aka: candy exchange day

Church Baby came home wearing a wordless bracelet. After eating the band, the cat is now feeling self righteous...

Opening her valentines from friends and family


Another sunny Saturday and lunch with dad

Mmm a bananie with Grammy

 'Canny' makes the oaties go down!

The butterflies are blooming! and so are our friendships!





We had so much fun, we brought Peter back the next day!

Puzzle time!

Free pancake day at IHoP!

Sunny walks with our neighbors are delightful!

More Church Baby activities - God made me!

And that's that! What a great month!

Let me tell you about January

On the 5th day of February my brain said to me, 'you'd better post your January photos!'

First of all, we sent out our New Year's card, we are so thrilled especially with Little Lady's message, she's getting to be quite the communicator these days ;)


Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Heather was home, so we La Huasteca-ed. It's a thing, and we love it.

Mooched cookies from Grandpa, also a thing, also loved.

 munch, munch, munch

We did a lot of birthday celebrating, so much that she requests Happy Birthday during song times.

Best birthday party favor: a mitt full of quarters for the arcade. She and Ginny won an Octopus and a red ball. They must have a telepathy with 'The Clawwwwww'

 Fiver...whaaaaaat????

 And the fun one :)


Playing outside in the snow before the big thaw!

 She thought she was SO funny walking the rice cooker. Rolling on the floor funny!

 Kitten love is never ending as well as Chik-fil-A love!

 Car time. Talking to Baby all the way.

Huck Finn got a baby stroller and is bananas about it! Thanks Barbara and Lydia!

Fresh Thyme has a kids cart, she knew just what to do :)

 Watching for dad out the window...

Helping mom with dishes and begging to see her friend Jessie's picture on Instagram!

 Touchdown! and check out the new skill, reaching the snacks!

A scale! Oh the adventures of my copilot!

 Produce pick of the week

Happy Birthday Grandma V

Happy Birthday Granpy! Her best pal in all the world!

 Another good pal who also loves to swim! Yesssssss!!!

Ahh a handler timeout. I've always heard about Chicken Charters but never made them, now I have and they were delish!

It was also an early birthday celebration for me! yay!

We rounded out January with a sick day at home, nothing a bath and Daniel Tiger couldnt soothe :)

February is off to a strong start - cheers to Pink and heart month!
