We are not used to the rain. And boy, has it rained a lot this week! Today's short day called for my rain boots and plenty of rain puddles to jump in. The laughs it brought were contagious. A fire and hot cocoa were the perfect remedy after all the fun was had by Janessa in our back yard puddle jumping!
Last week we ventured to Pasadena for Dragon's Breath. I never want to forget these kids' exressions as they crunched down on cereal and smoke escaped their lips and noses. It was something Lene had wanted to try for a long time. Oh, their faces!! Such laughter. . .so glad we wandered on the weekend and found some fun!
The best part? When we were finished, we found a Carholic church and no one complained when we went to mass!
Our monthly book club met again. This time the subject was penguins. So blessed to gather with four other mamas and our first graders to create fun memories together and instill a love of reading!
Last, but not least, we went to Disney on Ice and took the a couple of the nephews. It was such a memorable night together. The ice skating was neat, but their faces? Priceless!
These are the moments I want to fill 2017 with. . .moments together, creating memories. . . expanding our circles: laughing, loving, and learning! I think we're off to a pretty good start!
