Cousin time

My brother Lee brought his family for a 2 week visit...

The girls loved spoiling Lori!

My handsome boys. =)

These two are partners in crime! They shared snacks, had fun, and got into trouble - together!

February Birthdays...

Bethany is 12! Where does time get to?!

The very next day was Lainer's 7th birthday! Sometimes we celebrate their birthdays together and sometimes we don't. This year we didn't. Lainer enjoyed helping me prepare her birthday meal. I'm not too sure that wasn't the highlight of her birthday!!!

My little snuggle-bunnies... they're growing up way too fast!

Our days...

Our days and lives are full...

Nellie helping to bake cookies...

The first day after Lor's return from the States. Everyone had lots to tell her. =)

The pineapples are producing more all the time...

Enjoying the outdoors...

New additions mean daily chores for a delighted Jonathan... I never knew rabbits could eat so much!

...Neither imagination nor innovation are lacking for my children. They rigged up a "see-saw"  one day - and they've never seen one in real life!!!

Bonne Annee!

Wishing all of you a Happy New Year 2015!

God is good!

Sunrise breakfast

The day before my sister's family left, we had a sunrise breakfast on the roof...

Sipping hot chocolate out of tiny cups. :-)

Ditch Diggers

When we needed to dig a ditch to lay wires, my boys were proud to do "men's work"!

A school celebration...

Every year Lor has a school celebration for her students. She's so creative with her ideas.

It's the highlight of the school year for the children!
