Happy Valentines Day!  

I made spaghetti after church today. Jonah was being quite the comedian all thru dinner and while cleaning up. I told him to go wash his face. He said his face was clean. This is his squishy clean face! Haha!!!

This is an answered prayer. My friend and his wife survived breast cancer at a very young age. They were not going to be able to have children of their own. God blessed them with this beautiful baby boy today through adoption. Jayde had talked with me about fostering to adopt since we foster. She and Kevan had even been interested in a child who was in our care. I'm so grateful for the way God chose to bless them. He is a beautiful baby!

Jillibean is so pretty and sweet that sometimes a picture to capture the moment is necessary, even if it is as she gets out of the van to go into school.

On this snowy Sunday we still managed to get to church along with a few friends like Mr. Frank. Jilly and Squishy also enjoyed their snow mound find left behind from the snow plows. This is a rare thing in Tennessee!

What a day!  We woke up to 11" of snow!  WOW!  I managed to go to town with out any trouble but getting back in the driveway managed to get me stuck. John and our neighbor, Kent got me unstuck. The kids still stayed outside for most of the day. When they were in the house we had plenty of games to play. I love my family!

This is the biggest snowfall we've had since Jackson was born. By the time we went to bed we had 9 1/2". The kids couldn't get enough playtime in it. Jillian also managed to get in a good bit of reading time!
