Joys in our Sorrow…February 2013

Even though February was such a blur…when I look back through my IPhone pics…I realize we did a lot of living.  I annoy myself sometimes with my habit of taking pictures of everything but it is moments like now when I am so thankful for them.  I was able to see all the joys that we have had even in a sorrowful month.  Isn’t that just like God…to always be blessing us even when we are going thru a storm.  He is always with us and working all things to our good!!

After our cruise…our month went like this…

We celebrated Cross’s 6th Birthday!!  He had a fun football party!!

This is how I found him one morning when I went to get him up.  He wouldn’t let me take it off when I put him in his bed and he woke up with it on!!

Maddox had a melt down at church b/c a man wanted to take his picture.  So Marco picked him up and he decided he wanted his pic taken with Marco.  From tears to smiles in less that 10 seconds!!

Ryder and I had some quality time together at his 18 month well visit.  I’m only 2 1/2 months behind getting him there!!

We actually had a semi warm sunny day this past Wed so we took advantage of it between school and nap time and stopped by the playground!

All boy  wanting to stomp in mud…good thing he had his rubber boots on!!

My heart melted as these two rode around the yard on the four wheeler.  It was also breaking thinking how are they possibly old enough to be doing this??

This sums up our February according to the IPhone!

This is Life….and Life is Good!!
