This & That

January flew by, and here we are almost half way through February. We've been busy with the routine of school, church, and life! It's been a really hard few weeks with the older boys. It feels like we are doing more disciplining than anything else, which is very frustrating for all of us. Every time we think we are turning a new corner, we get a little surprise. (like last week when one came home with 2 day class suspension, and a few days later the other came home

with Saturday school for fighting). Jeff and I are trying to stay positive, and are getting to practice the quote "attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference".

A few things we have been enjoying this month are:

The beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Absolutely gorgeous!

Pizza Movie Nights. The kids get to make their own personal sized pizza, and we rent a new video to watch as a family, and sometimes we make it a bigger party with friends! Nanny McPhee Returns has been one of my favorites.

Celebrating Dad's 69th birthday! Happy Birthday Dad. We love you lots.
