I love putting candles in these old jars and placing them on my window ledges. There is something so warm about a candle flickering in the window. The snow piles up outside but within these walls there is great warmth.

The girls totally take after Matt and love to play games. They'll sit down together pretty much everyday to play some sort of game. Hudson usually isn't as welcomed as he was here. You can see how he is completely enjoying being included for once. However you can also see his look of pure mischief which is why he doesn't always get included. His style of play is to get some cards/game pieces in his hands and walk off with them in delight!

Our son is perfecting "the smooch". He's got one of the best pucker-ups around! He and Grandpa are showing each other how it's done. Hudson concentrates and pulls his cheeks all the way in...and, of course, we laugh every time! :)

Everyday I am overwhelmed with how much these two boys mean to me! Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with them!

Ok...so Feb. was a rough month. Sorry to leave ya hanging. :) I am getting back into my game here! I'm going to try super hard to keep up on my pics even through getting the house ready to sell.

About the above pics...my dd is an absolute joy! She is vivacious and spirited! Today she wore a birthday hat and kept throwing a birthday party for Hudson. He wore a hat too! She sang "HaPpY BirThDaY" to him over and over. He clapped every time. They are so much fun...I love our kiddos!
