Keeping up with some family highlights from before Valentine’s day until now.
Our ‘Coast kids’ celebrated a late birthday brunch for Josh way back on Sunday January 28th.
Katie made these yummy looking marshmallow fluff cream cheese filled chocolate dipped strawberries for Valentine’s Day. Don’t you think these would be a great treat for a tea, also?
These two got a much needed few hours together without their kids last Friday.
These two enjoyed a long President’s weekend in Mexico with two other couples who they’ve been friends with for 25 years.
And drumroll please! Addy completed her Awana book 8 weeks early and is now working through an extra credit book!!
She is able to recite all the books of the Bible!
I couldn’t leave JJ out so here he is with his sister enjoying the great outdoors on their property. He loves to be outside. He has recently mastered riding his bicycle without training wheels. We are all anxious for him to master using the brakes successfully on that bicycle, too!
The weather cooperated and warmed up enough for us to do a little work outside on Thursday afternoon. I was able to clear one large planter of dead growth. Woohoo! Only 10 more planters to go. The nice part of this process was that I spotted new growth under all the dead stuff. Today looks like a good day to tackle another planter. I usually do this in the Fall but those days got away from me.
Here we go into the last weekend of February. Hope it is a nice one for everyone!

Beautiful family photos! The strawberries look delicious.
Take care, have a great weekend.
It was so nice to take a moment to look at your photos. Everyone is smiling and seems so happy. The strawberries look delicious! Give my compliments to Addy for being able to recite all the books of the Bible!

I have one the high school boys from church come pull my weeds. So much easier for me.
Congrats to Addy on her reading and her Bible books memory! Yay for JJ learning to ride without training wheels! Loved your post and the updates on family!
Fun family photos. Congratulations to Addy on her Awana achievements. The strawberries look delicious.
Those strawberries look fantastic. They would be good ANY time.
Adorable Family and precious time! Hugs.
Don’t you just love seeing what motivates those little else from such an early age? Addy has a food work ethic already and JJ will have fun on his bike for now.

sorry for the typos .. I’ll blame it on trying to comment on my phone. (Those littles from such an early age … Addy has a good work ethic.)
Those strawberries look amazing!! They certainly would be a nice addition to a high tea.
That was a great catch up on all the kids and grands.
I’d love to be out cleaning the dead pots too, but there’s snow on them today. Maybe next week?
Have a great weekend~ Willow
