First Week of February

We returned from DC just in time for Ryan to make it to his first basketball practice for the 5th graders. They are going to be playing other churches and schools this season. This is one of the mounds of snow in the church parking lot!


School was closed on Tuesday, because the roads weren't cleared from the weekend. So, we went over to our friends, the Bouchers. They are getting ready to move, so we brought them a special ice cream treat because we love them! They have FOUR boys, just like us:)

Every Tuesday night Kris has to stay in Richmond for work and wouldn't you know it. . . that's the day I get a flat tire! Thankfully it happened at our friends' house AND Mike and Lake were there to fix it. The Lord is so kind!!

Trevor had to stay up late to get his homework finished one night, because we had so many things going on that day after school. He had a birthday party and then we went to the SGC Cougars Varsity games. Trevor is such a hard worker and really wants to do well in school!

The Boucher Boys came over on Friday, while their mom and dad finished moving. I surprised my boys - when they came home from school and saw their friends they were SO excited!!

Anderson reading to Liam during our family dinner night. So Sweet!!

Everybody helps out with chores and here is Cai getting the black scuff marks off of our stairs. Since, he can't do things on his own, he is my "special helper". He was a good and cheerful helper!

Saturday brought more snow and ice. Here is a picture that Kris took of one of our trees. This has been crazy winter weather for Virginia. The coldest since we moved here.

Oops . . . This picture should go on the second week of February's post. Oh, well. Here is Cai after story time at the library. He used SO much glue on this project. I just kept laughing as I watched him through the window. He kept sticking his fingers together and trying to flick the glue off. Not sure if you can see, but those three white globs upper right of his picture are glue!
