February memories.

We came back from Saint Lucia with the roses not looking so great but the other flowers were still beautiful!  I love the sign that you see behind the flowers because home is truly where we belong!  Here raising our children for the Lord and remembering that "these are the days!"

 Linville had a virtual learning day and so Austin got to go along to the day that we planned to celebrate Hadassah's birthday!  She was in Floridan over her birthday and then we went on our anniversary trip and so here we are eating at Hudson Botanical and drinking Linden drinks!  We went to the mall to buy her some favorites and it was a fun outing!  Happy Birthday, Hadassah!

I told myself that I'm going to try every day to read at least one chapter a day this year!  I am already reading the Bible again but if I want to read more books, than I actually have to read more books!  It's not complicated! 🤣 So, I stopped in at the library and asked if they had this book.  Nope but they can order it.  OK.  I came home and went downstairs where Mike has a lot of books stacked and sure enough this book was there!  I called and canceled the book from the library and began reading!  I love that this was the first book of my choice to start this one chapter a day habit because the book talked all things about habits.  Good and bad.  It gave practical advice like if you really want to eat more vegetables, than have vegetables at a hands reach!  

And I love this mug we bought at the fundraiser event for the 8th grade missions trip!

Two oranges and one grapefruit a day ... helps keep the virus away!  

While we were away, the kids stayed mostly at Lenas house!  They had jersey day and Austin had a class chapel that we missed but I'm happy to have a photo to help share the moment!

Book one is read and completed and now I'm on to this read!

February is cold, snowy and we can see a tiny change in the sun as we get closer to spring!  

Stay warm!
