A Month of Love

February has come and gone so quickly for us! It's hard to remember what we've been doing with our winter days...
but here are a few of this mama's recollections...

For Valentine's my parents came up for a visit and spoiled the girls with several cute outfits and a little chocolate! Then we all met up at the farm for a nice brunch and enjoyed mimosas with Aunt Mary and Gann :-)

Sweet Valentine chairs made by Gann and Big Der - Thank you!


The following weekend Kylie, Avery, and I drove down south to attend my cousin Ty's wedding in Pt. Neches, TX. He married a beautiful Vietnamese girl named Christina, so the ceremony was held at a Vietnamese Catholic Church and the priests switched back and forth between English to Vietnamese. A first for me!

The reception was GORGEOUS!

My mom and her cousin, Suzy.

My littles danced the night away...Kylie actually woke up with a cramp in her leg the next morning!

Other events, that didn't get their picture taken...
~ Kylie's preschool Valentine party - she had a blast and came home with way too much sugar.

~ Philip attended the National Religious Broadcasting (NRB) conference in Nashville for a week and had a lot of very productive meetings. We are still gearing up to film The Savior this coming spring/summer. You can watch the trailer by clicking here, if you're interested.

~ Somewhere in the middle of it all Philip swept me off to a lovely Valentine's dinner at a very romantic little French restaurant while KiKi and Pop kept the girlies :)

All in all it has been another blessed month. God is good and we thank him daily for each of you, our family and friends.

"Jimmy-nastics"

For Christmas my grandmother gave Kylie and Avery gymnastics lessons and we have been loving every minute of it! I don't have any pictures of Avery because hers is parent participation class and I can't very well wield a child and a camera simultaneously! And the pictures of Kylie aren't too fantastic because the lighting wasn't great - - but you'll get the idea.

Only her second time on the parallel bars and she is doing fantastic!
