February

I hope you have a blessed new month!
Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.
Psalm 115:15

Farewell to February!

For our family the season of winter is flying by!

We've all been busy with good stuff...projects, fellowship, chalk art, financial class...

A sweet friend of ours invited Bri and Brad to come and do chalk art for their homeschool group...

They even treated us to lunch! What a blessing!

Thanks Eugemia!

Valentine's Day came and went...my sweet hubby bought me flowers :)

Bri and I have been doing some baking! :)

Bingley Celebrated his 1st Birthday!

I enjoyed lunch with some buddies!

We had some lovely SN*W!

We have had some wonderful fellowship in the month of February, but I

don't have that many pictures of most of it.

The kids had a chance to go ice skating a couple of times with friends

I only have pics of one of them though :(

But, they had a great time everytime they went!

Gotta luv these socks!

Ready to go!

Our family is also attending the Financial Peace University which has been wonderful!

We are learning alot!

And last but not least...

Brad got a new Betta...Toothless :)

The one he had for a couple of years recently...departed

It's been a wonderful winter for us!

For, lo, the winter is past...

Song of Solomon 2:11

Unlike some, I do enjoy the winter very much, but I also look forward to Spring!

My friend called and said to come by and get some forsythia from her yard to force, which

I plan on doing today!

So, I am looking forward to Spring with joy!

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Gen. 1:14

And all of these good seasons were created by God -don't you think He is sooo good to

give us such pleasure with His creation?

Thank you Lord!

Wednesday Already?

We've had a busy week around here...although you can't tell by this pic can you? :)

Brad is actually doing school--with his entourage! LOL

Muffy, after being very, very sick just before Thanksgiving, is now feeling better

He is observing the snow on the ground from a safe distance

Speaking of which, we're gearing up for some more snow tomorrow! They are saying it could be 6-18"

quite a spread!?

We've been busy working on our Bible study, baking, cleaning, organizing, and making a new budget...

Oh, and dreaming over the seed catalogs and planning our garden! :)

I'm really trying to "live life on purpose"--trying to make my days count!

We're also praying that our van-which died on us last night-isn't too expensive to repair

Feel free to pray with us!

What's going on at your house?

Hope your Wednesday is a blessed one!

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”

- Jeremiah 29:11-13

Snow Job!

Guess what!? It's snowing again :)   It's only supposed to be about 2" though this time.

That's ok though, we have a fair bit of the white stuff still on the ground...and on the roof as you can

see above and below!

As a matter of fact, Brad shoveled some off the roof, just to be on the safe side...

It sure has been pretty though--don'tcha think so?

Winter Wonderland...

Below Brad is shoveling...something he has done alot of over the last several days!

This little robin is bewildered!

The guys shoveled off and on during the night to try and keep ahead of it...

The first day after...everything is sparkling

This is our street--it looked like this for a couple of days

We had ice during part of the storm, and some melting-this is the result

Chips checks out the snow fort that Brad made :)

In the pictures below you can see the damage the ice did-we lost many tree limbs

We were all happy to see this guy come through to plow us out!

What did we do you ask while the storm raged? We had a ball!

My sweet Mom stayed with us for a week, and we played lots of games, laughed, ate, & stayed up late!

Some caught up on sleep....

Some caught up on reading...

Hope your February is off to a good start!

For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth...

Job 37:6a
