Princess is 3

It is hard to believe that lil miss is 3! So I asked the kids what they would say about their lil sis and here it is...
Braeton: sweet & sour- grouchy ( can u tell the morning it has been here!!!??)
Cianne: cute, enjoyable, snuggly and I love her!! ~ awe, sisters!

Super Bowl

So football season is coming to a close this very night. We are a divided house with teams but we have all come together tonight to support Braet and the Ravens!!!! Our celebration has been low key as we still have a sickie- Mom. But we have enjoyed some yummy food, watching the snow fall, playing with our squish, aka Owey, the kiddos and snuggling on the couch. Totally my kind of winter Sunday afternoon!
Braet, this is a note for you my boy. Tonight as we watch the game you have parked it on the floor with some cozy pillows. The girls are in bed and of course so is Owey man and I can't help but notice the absence of the lil bro who should be sitting next to you, joining in the fun. At times bud, it still seems surreal and I know your pain still comes in waves ( I'm sure it always will) we share it with you. We pray for you for we know the loss of your best friend can hit so hard, we still miss him too. Longing for the day when all will be made new. When your pain will be taken away and there will be one sweet reunion with Micah J and with your Savior! He lived- died and was raised- Conquering death and the grave, what a sweet victory to partake in. My his comfort always be near to your heart and the hope of heaven alive in your eyes as you live your life today full of purpose as you journey to that day. Love you so!

January

Well, what's happening here.... I think we have largely been in this month. It has seemed a bit crazy. I think Braet and CC are the only ones who have stayed well, fevers, coughs, snotty noses and lots of head colds- what everyone else is dealing with his time of year. The snow, lots of rain and even 60 degrees. I don't know about you but I am sure ready for spring now :) Although I am so looking forward to celebrating a lil princess' bday very soon , her request a purple Hello Kitty party. Yes she also wants a real kitty for her bday, sorry sweetie that isn't going to happen! But dear friends gave her an early gift and wouldn't you know a small stuffed animal- Hello Kitty- she has slept with it each night! Well that's us, we are hibernating for now and we hope to emerge soon!
