Thank you, Eddie's, for the yummy shamrock cookie!

When Jeff gave me this fig tree, I knew the probability of a move was pretty high, so I planted it in a pot.  Then when we did move, I never figured out where to plant it.

I didn't want the plant to freeze, so I brought it in and put it on the sun porch.  Now, my poor tree thinks it is Spring!  I'm not much of a gardener, so I hope I have not damaged the poor tree's internal clock!  In a few weeks, I really need to get the poor guy planted in the ground!

While welcoming home troops, one of the soldiers gave Daniel his U.S. Army patch. Daniel was very excited to have it!  He also loved the soccer ball Caroline (who went with us) gave him.

Building trains in the front hall.  See those boxes?  One is for Lincoln and one is for Jenny.  With any luck, I will mail them soon!

Since Daniel never walks with the girls to school in the morning (it slows the process down quite a bit), he never gets to see his favorite Toyota.  Apparently, on this particular day, the owner of the beloved green Toyota did not take the car to work, so when we walked home from the library, it was parked in its spot.  Daniel was so excited, he gave the car a hug.  I am tempted to print this picture and give it to the people, but then they might think I am crazy.

Science Fair- February 22, 2012

Sarah entered her project in the Science Fair, but she did not win.  The kid that won did some research on fast food ice.  You might want to ask for no ice in your drinks from now on . . .

ESPNUs . . . he still can't get enough.  Now he likes to look at them on the computer, so he can "push the button."

It's a spider ESPNU!

I push the button!

It's a puppy ESPNU!

I love ESPNU!

Living Stations- February 19, 2012

The girls participated in the living Stations at church.  Sarah was the stage manager, and Emily was the Roman Soldier.  The performance was great, and the families enjoyed it as a part of the Lenten Family Day.
