It was a family love day for Valentine’s day. Joe and I continued with our tradition of making chicken piccata, mashed potatoes and asparagus. The kids made hearts with their food. It was a happy heart day.

Reading

This year, the boys started reading their science book out loud to me. It is wonderful to listen to them and learn how to say hard words and help each other.

Movie night

We try to have a family movie night once a week. We used to rotate the pick and then realized, we watched a lot of the same movies. Joe and I took over and introduced the kids to some beloved favorites.

Basketball – 1st take

The boys had their first basketball games today. J was up first at 8am! He had missed his practice and came in cold only having a few PE days of basketball. He did great, getting the ball multiple times and running it down. He even made two baskets!

J in red

E was super excited and started his game right after J. He has never played and only made one practice. He was super enthusiastic and got the ball a few times.

A birthday

E is another year older. My sweet baby boy just keeps growing up. We are so proud of him. His current favs are Mario & Luigi Legos, playing with friends, Super Mario on the Wii, Star Wars, memorizing scripture, hanging with his siblings and cuddling with mom and dad.

Strike a pose

J is George Washington, E is a random soldier and Joy is Winn, a spy in the American Revolution. I am so happy when the kids take school and apply it to play. Oma school for the win!
