Photo A Day...March 2015



Day 60: Trying to get some work done during rest time, and I look over and see this. Love this sweet, silly boy!

Day 61: Independence Day! I'd never live anywhere else!

Day 62: Walked in on this sweet moment tonight.

Day 63: It was "wacky Wednesday" in Davis' class today. We do "wacky" well in this house.

Day 64: Another snow day!

Day 65: Loaded these two up after school and sent them to Nana and Grandpa's for a few days. Hello, spring break!

Day 66: I love my kids, but I sure do love spending time alone with this guy! And I felt quite safe at lunch today.

Day 67: We went to Granbury for lunch after church, and stayed to shop around the square. This little courthouse has always been one of my favorites.

Day 68: "Date Day" with my favorite guy before our kids come back home.

Day 69: The kids were playing outside, and we found this in the kitchen. You know you're a "medical Mama" when things like this are "normal."

Day 70: Spring break...clothing optional.

Day 71: Spent more than THREE HOURS at the eye doctor with these crazies today. On the upside...their vision is still excellent. See ya in 6 months Dr. Packwood!

Day 72: My lunch dates on our last official day of spring break.

Day 73: My little #9 had his first t-ball game today. He LOVED it, and did FANTASTIC. Take THAT spina bifida.

Day 74: My sweet girl. Can't she wear scuffed shoes and socks with lace forever?! 
(Never mind the disgusting floor.)

Day 75: My sweet girl and her dirty face snuggled up and watched Mickey Mouse with me this afternoon.

Day 76: Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Day 77: My sweet, sick baby spent the day with Nana. When given the right medicine, you'd never know how sick she is.

Day 78: Getting in the car after school and he says "Hey, Mom! Take a picture of this captain America!"

Day 79: Friday night fun. I love their little imaginations.

Day 80: We did each other's nails today. She's getting better at it.

Day 81: Breakfast on the couch before church. Note Anna's shoes. She tried to convince me that her Sofia pj's were ok to wear to church with the gold shoes. Sorry, Sister.

Day 82: The faces of Monday morning. One of them cried for almost 30 minutes because she was "so mad that God made it Monday."

Day 83: "Ice Cream" with friends after school today. Come one, summer! We need more time playing with friends.

Day 84: Teamwork.

Day 85: St. Jude Bike-A-Thon at their school today. Spina bifida, shmina bifida.

Day 86: She was REALLY into Davis' game tonight. And clearly, so were some of the kids on the opposing team in the background.

Day 87: Opening ceremonies, and another t-ball game today. (Brandon is wearing his maroon "little warriors" shirt. D is the one sitting in front of him.)

Day 88: My view after lunch. It doesn't get any better!

Day 89: We got to their school 5 minutes before it opened this morning (a Monday!), so we had a little fun while we waited.

Day 90: Each very different. He works SO HARD for EVERY physicl accomplishment, but he gets there! She doesn't have to work at it...it just happens. In both of them I see that God is so good!

Day 32: So. Much. Sass.

Day 33: I got my "Wow 1995" CD for Christmas 1994. I got my 20th "Wow" CD for Christmas 2014. I LOVE THEM ALL! And so do my children. It brings me such Joy to hear them sing the songs from these CD's!

Day 34: "Joy unspeakable, faith unsinkable, love unstoppable, anything is possible..." (Thrive by Casting Crowns)

Day 35: A quick, post-bedtime trip to the store with my favorite guy while Nana watched over sleeping babies.

Day 36: For more than a year, he has been telling us he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up. Sweet boy...oh how I wish that was possible!!

Day 37: Red Day for Congenital Heart Defect Awareness

Day 38: T-ball tryouts! He hit the ball every time, caught it every time, and ran the bases like he knew what he was doing. Take THAT spina bifida!

Day 39: Sweet girl KNOWS the importance of a good accessory.

Day 40: An after school puppet show with Nana.

Day 41: A little after school fun. Ha!! Don't worry...she got him back.

Day 42: She was not ready to wake up this morning. This glare should have been a clue to how she would behave at school. *sigh* Tomorrow is a new day!

Day 43: His first ride on a "real" school bus. He was so excited...and had so much fun!

Day 44: Every year, my Daddy sends me flowers for Valentine's Day. Every single year. I love them, and look forward to them. And the balloons for the kids are a nice touch. ;-)

Day 45: My favorite people in the world! The best Valentine's a girl could ask for!

Day 46: Ready for church this morning with her "princess hair." Someone please help me understand how she looks so grown up!

Day 47: Most nights, Super Dad cooks dinner while I'm doing other things. Teamwork! I sure love this man of mine!

Day 48: First t-ball practice of the season. I happen to LOVE the fact that the only picture is blurry.

Day 49: The face of a child who knows she's in big trouble for not being good at school today. Little toot.

Day 50: Brandon found an "A" in the woods around the golf course today.

Day 51: The day she wasn't ready to wake up, and in the midst of her meltdown she said "it's hard to be 3!" At least she was over it pretty quickly. (Excuse the granola bar in her mouth.)

Day 52: The bravest kid I know showing us how big his brave and his muscles are. :-)

Day 53: Our very own Piano Man.

Day 54: Ice Day!

Day 55: She has finally decided to climb in/out again, so we took advantage of "Ice Day #2" and made her a "big girl bed." She is so excited!

Day 56: Davis and Baymax watching Baymax in "Big Hero 6." My kids LOVE this movie!

Day 57: Took my sweet girl to get her very first haircut this evening. She was in heaven!

Day 58: They are LOVING all of these snow days! (Me too!)

Day 59: My people made a snowman. A fireman-snowman.
