Another growing up moment
Here is Mya finally going down the stairs by herself. For months and months she has been going up but we have been trying to teach her to go down to no avail for about as long. I guess today was the day!

Amidals
A few weeks ago, we were all sitting in the girls' room for some rare, unplanned family time. Autumn was playing with her stuffed animals and all of the sudden proclaims, "I can't believe I'm 5 and I can't say 'aminals' yet!"
She used to say 'amidals' but recently moved to 'aminal'. We love it!
Anyway, she must have been practicing because a couple of days ago at the dinner table she was talking about animals and said 'animals' ever so slowly and carefully. Zach asked her to repeat it and sure enough she said, 'ani-mals' again. Drat! I'm so proud of her, but also a little sad. It was kind of her last hold out in speech and means she is growing up! :( I'll always love "AMIDALS"

Preschool Concert
On March 2nd, Autumn had her Spring Concert for Preschool. Each class, age 2-4 yo, sang about 5-6 songs. You can tell from the excitement on Zach's face how he felt about it :) Autumn, on the other hand, was in her element and loving every minute! Her class sang, "Be Happy", I Have a Hello in My Heart" (somewhat weird song), "Skidamarink a Dink a Doo"(which Emery also loves to sing), "This Little Light of Mine", and Thank You God for Making Me".
More Snow Pics
Hard to believe there is enough snow to actually play in! It was beautiful this morning waking up to big flakes and the ground covered in white (I'm sure this won't be our sentiment next year in March when we've had snow all winter :)). The kids loved it! It is sunny now and already starting to melt.

Lots of catching up to do! Let's start with Valentine's Day
So I started to try and catch up on my blogging a couple of days ago. This is how far I got...
"Ok, it has been a long time since we have blogged."...Maybe I should try again :)
I think it has been about a month (well except for yesterday's nasty nose and snow day today). We put the house on the market and I have preoccupied getting it ready and trying to keep it clean and ready to show. On a side note, please be praying with us. We had quite a few showings initially once it went on MLS and got great feedback but haven't shown it in about 2 wks. We will be losing money on the house so we were hoping to sell early and make up a little on not having a mortgage payment, but anyway...We are trusting in God's provision and timing but I have to admit I can get anxious and discouraged. It is another good lesson in patience and trust; we do not want to be like the Israelites in the wilderness who grumbled even though they had seen God work time and time again. Anyway, enough of that...I'll go back and start with Valentine's Day.
Zach did a great job making me feel special. Since Valentine's day was Sunday this year, he was up and gone for church before I even got out of bed. I found little messages all over as I was getting ready (and some I didn't find until the next day). Some of them are inappropriate to show here so I censored those!. Let's just say I was glad I got up before the kids, especially Taylor who can read :). They had fun helping me find the ones in the kitchen and it was a great example of being romantic for them to see!
Love you sweetheart!
