Valentines Day- Drumming, Drawing, and Eating

Empty coffee can, paper towel and wax paper roll = little drummer boys

I couldn't find the Heart cake pan but it worked out for the best so they could decorate their own hearts. I bake a strawberry cake like normal and used a sandwich cutter to have double hearts.




Dylan really just wanted to eat.. he kept asking me to put more sprinkles on but he didn't want to decorate it








Look who got a haircut like his brother... where is my baby?

Struggling

Sorry for the lack of posting. I still have photos in my camera and can't even remember when I took them or how long they have been in there. Hopefully will get to them sometime.

Since Christmas, someone in the family has been sick every weekend. We have had sinus stuff, ear infections, breathing issues, stomach stuff.. you name it. I have had Dylan out of daycare, picked Austin up from school, missed 2 days of work being sick myself. This past week, Dylan was sick on stomach Thursday, Austin got it Saturday, Dan on Sunday... you get the picture. Today I picked Jordan up from school sick. This particular variety seems to be throwing up and headache.. all in a 24 hour period and then you are fine. I am hoping to avoid this particular mess as I am the last one standing at this point. We are also dealing with the truck needing a tune up or something. We are currently using just the matrix. This has been difficult because I come to pick up sick children and then have to go back to Raleigh to get Dan later in the day. We will once again being doing this today unless some kind friend brings him home again. We are hoping to come to Mooresville Valentine weekend but have to figure out the truck thing first. We can't fit everyone/thing in the Matrix for a 3 hour trip.

Not wanting to be a downer but just frustrated with all that is going on currently. We do have some great things happening but sometimes the bad seem to override them. Jordan got 1 B in Reading on her report card and everything else was As. She brought her B in Social Studies and Science up to an A this time. We are so proud of her! Austin also got his report card and had Satisfactory in everything. He also got Satisfactory + in Math. Looks like I am going to have another Math whiz. Dylan is talking like crazy. He babbles all the time and we can understand more and more. He also repeats everything like a little parrot. I have ordered everything needed for a Little Einsteins birthday party for his 2nd birthday. He is going to be so excited. I even have a lady from my Women on Weights class making a Little Einstein cake, complete with red velvet cake rocket. Dylan LOVES the Einsteins!

So, please pray for us. Pray for health, working vehicles, being at work a full week.... no stress.. just please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
