February...a month to show our loved ones how much we care. February is a great time to remember and tell others about the One who gives us perfect/unconditional love - Jesus!
After a grueling January, February felt much easier. We ended up having two Mondays off in a row and were really loving having three day weekends. This month we celebrated Valentine's Day a day early due to having Daddy home on a snow day. It was a fun day complete with heart shaped pancakes! We all had a great time making snowmen and a snow dog. Murphy even enjoyed a good romp in the snow. But as usual, the snow melted the next day and two days later it was in the 60's. Good ole Arkansas weather!
We also enjoyed celebrating Papa's birthday, having a game night with friends, and participating in a surprise birthday party for our small group leader. What fun! Leigh Ann enjoyed a special treat and was able to spend part of a day with her friend Laura and later in the month got to spend part of two days with her friend Beth both from our church in Russellville. God is so gracious in providing wonderful and encouraging friends!
Eli continues to enjoy preschool but loves going to Bible School (where Leigh Ann attends Bible Study Fellowship) even better. He is memorizing scripture and learning many new Bible stories. At home and in preschool he is learning his letters and the sounds they make and has started sounding out simple words. His is also practicing writing his letters. He enjoys telling stories and singing at the top of his lungs. He continues to grow like a weed and manages to stay almost a whole size ahead of his age in clothing!
Thad is still in the middle of teething and has been having a rough go of it. When he is not in pain he loves doing whatever big brother is doing. He is still a "little bit" but manages to get into BIG trouble sometimes! He can now say "Eli" instead of "E.I." and says just about any other word that pops into his head. He is all about "I do".
Jeff is on the home stretch with the training he has to do to achieve his teaching license. He also attended some training in Oklahoma City this month and was able to take in the Memorial while there. He keeps busy with school and the demands of being a father to two crazy boys. He is an amazing husband and I can't wait to tell you about the opportunities he is helping me participate in in the next few months! You will have to tune in next month to hear more about that.
Until then, I pray that you have felt the love of God in an amazing way this month and has seen His mighty hand at work in your life!
