I'm playing blog catchup for my own benefit once again.  I hope one day I can come back in here and use this to help me journal my life in real albums.  But for now this is my peek back of the last few weeks to put me and mine in perspective.  That's why I blog.
   It's February.  The hardest month of the year.  Maybe it's to build up thankfulness for sweet spring and summer and fall.   Matt and I celebrated 37 years  of age each,  last week.   Our years combined on this earth are 74!   :)  Maybe that's why February is hard! :)  We've had snow a couple times.  And very much cold.  Those two things make winter much more acceptable.
    And today has been a good unusual day.  Keagan had the last day of work done on his teeth.  He's not talking much tonight but he handled it all very well.  The condemnation I give myself for his teeth suffering is great.  Sometimes it's too heavy a load so I dismiss it from my mind and pray God helps it not hurt too much for him.  While he was at the dentist, I took the rest of us over to see Jenny.  That was a sweet refreshing visit.  Thanks Jenny.  I needed the break!    And the rest of the day has been naps and finishing school.  No projects got done but we're all glad for the warmth of the fire and the hardest day of the week being over.
    And here's pictures :    

She falls asleep in her bouncy. 


While Matt was gone pushing snow for 24 hours we made ice cream to sooth our souls.

Cherub dear eats snow as his part in the helping.


COLD! 

Jeanie Raquel 3 months old already!  And look at that red hair!  I like to flip her head back and forth right after her bath so I can see it glisten like a shiny copper penny.  It's so pretty! 

They still love her! 



Having fun right after her bath.  3 months. 

Sunday afternoon Matt gave the boys the time of their lives.  I love those cold cheeks and happy eyes. 

I think he's so nice to take those boys out in the cold and play with them. I take pictures from the deck and go curl up again on my warm chair! 


This has been what has filled many many hours this winter.  The gap in age from Zerrick to Mathias disappears when they play with trains.  Zerrick comes up with some cool set ups and Mathias plays.  And Keagan enjoys it all.

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
