This and that

 This sweet baby is so blessed to have Marky as her big brother.  He is like a second father to her and cares for her so well.  I put this picture on Instagram and said, "Babies are good for teenagers."  I absolutely believe it is cuddle therapy for teenagers.   And he is so good for her! 

 

 

 

During Epiphany season Father offered to bless homes with Church incense blessed on Epiphany.  We went through the entire house with the incense and then came back and walked through the entire house with holy water.  It was a special night!

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday we went to a very special wedding for friends whose sweet daughter had had a brain tumor at age 3.  They were told she would never live to be 5.  After intense therapy she lived, but had long term difficulties.  They were not sure she would ever find love and marry.  God sent her a precious husband and her father, who thought she would never grow up, got to have a first dance with his precious girl.  Not a dry eye in the house. 

 

The band was AWESOME!  We had the best time!

It's cold today!  We had to bundle up!

 

 Dumpy and I love to cuddle up and watch a baby show sometimes.  I love it so much.  (Still have a face band aid- sigh). 

Sissy is still riding so well!

Our family loves hiking through our woods on Saturday afternoons.  Tucker found a natural mountain spring-

And we call this part of the creek "Tucker Falls"-

Charlie started taking piano lessons this year and now he and Julia have been learning some duets- it is so sweet to hear them in there together!

The other night when I took the older children to Les Mis, the two boys went to chess, and Daddy and Annie had dinner together.  She eats with a fork so well now.  Daddy's little lady. 

And Aunt Amber got Tucker a "Mandalorian" hat for his birthday.  It was a huge hit- they love that show.
