We have been enjoying the second half of our school year routine + after school activities + playdates + golf + bday parties…

We have been extra patient with Mommy, since she has been working on CHA assignments since before Xmas…

We have been so grateful for this glorious weather, and would like to share some sweet photos with you [since Mommy can't share anything quite yet]…

Oh my goodness, I just can’t be more in love with all that miss M’s school/community does for these children and their families!

We are so very blessed to have her here, and have God’s love poured into her daily through these wonderful and amazing teachers!

So…let me just allow the photos to say the rest…

Before I share with you our fun few days in photos [WARNING: PHOTO HEAVY!!!]

I wanted to share this with you:

A New Year Prayer God of our yesterdays, our today, and our tomorrows.We praise you for your greatness.We thank you for the year behind us and the year ahead.Help us in Your new year, Father, to love you and our families more.Help us to teach our children Your ways and Your love.Knowing, when Love came to the stable in Bethlehem, He came for us.We rejoice in the world You loved into being.Thank You for another new year and for new mercies every day.We step into this new year knowing You will go with us.We rejoice in what’s ahead. In Jesus name,Amen

While we typically have a relax at home, play with new toys, and stay in pjs all day while we clean type of NYE…

This year was a BIT different, and boy were our girls ready!
