Ana is 7!!!

Today Anie Baby has turned 7!!! She informs Mom that she doesn't want to be 7 because it is a boy's number. She wants to be 8, a girl's number!

She and Minte keep us laughing! Especially during supper! She is very serious and takes things very literally unless it's her own joke, in which case she cracks herself up!! :-) She is a blessing to our family and we are so happy that she is a part of our family! Love ya, Ana!!!

Here is Minte singing his happy birthday to his sister...

Spring Day!!

February 18th was a special day! Why was it special? 'Cause we had barely any snow! PLUS it was warm! Later the kids were outside without coats!! It was so wonderful! The kids and I spent some time outside and I took pictures.

 Scooters were brought out! In February!!

 We took a short walk through the field. Weeds got caught inside our shoes! Not snow!!

 And whether inside or outside, some kind of ball is always at Ethan's side! And he could actually dribble on a non-icy driveway!

 Minte brought out his ball as well. It's too bad he isn't 4 feet taller! He did his best to get the ball in the basket!

I think after that day we all got even more eager for spring! New grass and flowers. Warm weather. Fresh air. It will be SOOO amazing!!! Spring, COME!!!
