Last weekend, our church held a women's getaway...it was amazing! There were eight of us from my Sunday school class that went together. We had a great time getting to know each other better while listening, worshiping, and resting. We were only gone about 24 hours... but, when we returned, I felt like a new woman. The theme of the event was "My Story - God's Grace"...how all of us have stories that are ever evolving as God works in our lives. With each testimony that was given, God touched my heart...what a wonderful weekend!!!
On Friday, C's kindergarten class had a Valentine's Tea for the moms. It was precious! Each child greeted his/her mom at the door with a rose, he served my plate and drink, he had written a story about me that he read to me, he had made me a card and pretty little box that he had filled with candy, the group sang songs to us, and each child danced with his/her mommy. This mom teared up on more than one occasion...my little boy was so sweet and so big.

And today, S had a princess birthday party to attend...she dressed up like Aurora and had a ball with all the other little princesses. Her favorite thing was decorating the fairy wings she was given..so fun! There was even a visit from Cinderella and the real Aurora...the little girls were quite mesmerized.
Then, this afternoon, we enjoyed a beautiful Spring-like day. Wasn't the weather gorgeous? The kids were filthy and exhausted! As Eric and I cleaned out the basement, they grabbed every box we threw out. They built all sorts of contraptions...train, rocket, fort...this picture is their racecar. As I took this picture, they were chanting "we're in the lead"....priceless moments with my children becoming each other's favorite playmate, best friends...precious times when an afternoon stands still listening to their laughter and their discussions on where a shoe box would fit best...
