Thad finally got the opportunity to attend Superstart, a Christian conference for 4th and 5th graders in Tulsa. He watched Eli go the last two years and couldn't wait for his turn. He said he enjoyed everything about it from the speaker, the musicians, the break out sessions, and the time he got to spend with Jeff. He can't wait to go again next year.
Zeke got a tune-up this month when he went to the vet, got his shots, had several teeth pulled and two cysts removed. Poor guy is getting cataracts and is slowing down quite a bit. His 11th birthday was this month. His favorite things are cuddling up in a blanket and sleeping...especially on our bed!
Valentine's Day was fun for us all. The girls enjoyed getting and giving Valentine's cards at school. Jeff and I gave the kids a Valentine's treat and we dipped chocolate covered strawberries. Jeff also surprised me with flowers in a flask. Such creativity!
We also had a great time celebrating Papa's birthday with him. It was so special to be able to be with him on his birthday since we haven't been able to in years! The Lord blessed us with beautiful weather, great food, and a fun time with family.
We spent as much time as possible outside on days that were nice. We have had so much rain that on some days it seemed as if we would never see the sun again! We have been working on clearing old fence to make way for new and along with that removing what feels like thousands of vines! It is amazing to see the transformation. I wish I had remembered to take pictures.
The rest of our normal activities continued. I had the opportunity to give another lecture at BSF this month. It was the first time that I wasn't nervous! Thank God for his grace and the Holy Spirit that enables us to do things beyond ourselves.
That about wraps things up for this month. We hope that you too have been blessed with family to love and a relationship with God that brings you great joy.
Enjoy the slideshow!
