Our March Life in Photos

Here's a small taste of our life last month 
(from this Mama's perspective anyway...K will have to post airplane photos in another post!)

Soaking eggs and tomatoes...
one way my daily life might look different (or the same!) as yours...

We made a "whale" and acted out the story of Jonah one week in preschool.
 B LOVES to role-play all our Bible stories.

All the kiddos (minus J in the high chair)
from the families in our org's prayer group.
That's 9 kids from 3 families. :)

Can you spot Kars?
He's fogging for mosquitoes in our backyard.

A ride to bed...

...really helps the bedtime attitudes!

The boys request to be "wrapped up like a baby" after bath.
Then they giggle and sing while snuggled next to each other...

Both of our boys are fairly organized...here's B's line of his toys.

Heading out on a "trip" with their neighbor bud!

One day the boys helped me "dig" in the flower bed

I asked J if he was dirty.
I love how he looked at his hands, that's all the dirt he could see! :)

Kars' brother is here visiting.  They got to ref a basketball game together, at the high school where they both played ball. Here they are talking to their coach, same coach who they had and is still coaching the boys' team.

Me and my boys

3 boys in a hammock


These boys have so much fun together!

J and his neighbor buddy, L!

One week in preschool was all about F for Fire (story of S, M and A)
We made a special fire engine sandwich!

Just in case you are tempted to think J is always happy...




Puppy Fever


Our neighbors dogs have had 2 litters of puppies in the last month....so there are 7 puppies running around our yard & 6 more that are too little to move around yet.  I don't think B & J could be any happier!  Here are some pictures I captured this past week.  If only you could hear their squeals!
"Hi puppy!  See puppy!  Love you puppy!" -J

"Come here puppies!!"


They love him as much as he loves them!

Except...sometimes he forgets to not pick them up by their neck...

Sweet boy with a sweet puppy

Loving every minute!

J's baby


Always wants to see how many he can hold...

This picture is my favorite...so adorable!

B's a little more awkward with them...

But he's still excited to hold them.
He wants to hold as many as possible...

The mama dog needs encouragement to let the 7 puppies eat!

B's getting more comfortable holding puppies...

I caught one!
Thankful the puppies are so mellow!
Can you tell he's thrilled?! J that is...




















Well...this post has ended up taking days to upload!  Lots of pictures, slow internet and multiple issues with captions.  So, I'm just going to post it as is.  As you can see from the pictures, we are loving the opportunity we have to play and snuggle with puppies.  This mama is particularly thankful we can enjoy the benefits, without the responsibility of owning them!  What a blessing!
