Early Spring Pictures

Hi!  I am trying to get caught up a bit here!  Here are a few pictures from the past few months of the kids! :o)

A Play Date and Bath Time

Today our super duper fun and awesome friends Noah and Sally came over to play with Hava and Gabe.  It was so fun to watch these lil people interact with one another.  They were all very interested in sharing and spreading the love!  Here are some pictures of the 3 of them on the piano bench!  Then Hava and Gabe's ever so popular bath time!  I love this time of day!  

Visit with Friends

Here is my first post of Kimberly.  She is my best friend from college and her and I share many memories.  It was great to see her, even if the trip surrounded tragedy.  I love you girl.  Her other best friend Camille was in from Idaho too.  Her sister, Annika and Brad as well as her dad and I all went to dinner and we snapped a few pictures.  I really enjoyed being a part of your family this weekend!  I love you all dearly.

Cabin Fever...and what happens!

Ok, so it is just butt cold here, there really is no other term, technical or otherwise to describe it.  The kids are "trapped" as Hava has said, and it takes lots to be creative with our time.  Today, the only thing we could do to keep Hava happy was to let her draw a kitty on her face.  From time to time, we draw whiskers and a nose on her face to make her a kitty, but being that her new favorite phrase (which totally breaks my heart!) is "I do it my self", I allowed her to draw the whiskers herself.  After seeing Hava's masterpiece Gabe asked me to make him a dog. Then I brought out the camera, and Hava wouldn't have any part of having her picture taken, but in perfect Hava and Gabe fashion the boy let me take his picture.  Never do they both want or not want the same thing! So please do enjoy, I sure did!

My night with Celine!

Tonight I was blessed many times over.  First, that Gary brought me home tickets for the Celine Dion Concert, Second, that I could go.  Third, and most importantly that Martie could go with me. 

What an amazing show!  She can perform and it is a perfect spectacle.  Every note, her pitch, everything...perfect.  She not only was amazing as an artist, she talked like she was talking right to me.  It was so personal, she is so normal and relaxed, yet an amazing professional.  It was an exceptional night.  I do have to say that God was present for me there too.  I felt touched by the spirit, and her words spoke to me in ways I needed to hear.  I feel rejuvenated!  Too be honest, I felt like going would be a fun night out, but nothing amazing.  I was so blessed!  I had an amazing time!  Thanks Celine!

Lovely Babies...well, they are babies to me!

As you can see, Hava likes having her picture taken...Gabe, not so much!

My neighbor Kathy made the awesome scarves!  Hannah bought Hava that 

sweater and headband!  When I opened it, I knew it would be Christmas

card material!

Playing in the snow, and a picture of Gaga when she was here a few weeks ago!
