MK has the best group of friends, fifth grade and little drama makes for one happy girl and mama!
Maddox needed to create a Valentine box. She came up with the design all by herself and slaved away for a few days making sure she had it just right!
Our family has a new friend, Daisy. We are so thankful for this sweet girl and her mama!
When one is thirsty, one does not hesitate to grab mommy's water bottle and take a swig even though it is almost as big as she is!
Time is precious and this Christmas we gave our kiddos "time" as gifts. A trip to Atlanta for the weekend....just mom, dad, Maryn and Chapman....so fun!
We visited the aquarium....it never gets old and there is always something new to see! This time it was the sea lion show....so cute!
We were all in awe of the giant sting ray...
and Mr. Penguin wasn't too shabby either!
Maryn was most impressed by the hotel. She called it the "ho-in-tel" and really would have been happiest staying in the room all weekend or swimming at the pool!
There is a new man in town and he is super, super cute!
Hayes Edward Strack....what a cutie. And what a pickle he is sure to put us all in....we all want to hold him all of the time and none of us likes to share!
He's just perfect....
Soon Chapman will be showing Hayes all of the tricks of the trade...she is smitten!
So there is this panda....and all of my girls are in love with it!
The girls take him just about everywhere with them and they always remember to strap him in. It's all fun and games until I am the only one in the car with this big, giant panda driving all alone around town!
More fun with Daisy. Maddox thinks she is just wonderful and loves to make her laugh.
Finley
He is just so cute! Ten years and counting with this big guy!
My MJC models.
My favorites.
My wide-open girl....there is truly never a dull moment....
During our trip away, these two shared a bed and they LOVED it!
Sea lions are the best....
Penguins are pretty cool too!
These two couldn't wait to swim....
thankfully daddy packed his suit too!
Maryn felt as though she was on top of the world....
and Chapman just hung out taking it all in stride!
Build A Bear was on our list of things to do....Huggles and Bunny have now officially joined our family!
Chapman had her morning quiet time....pjs, boots, coke zero and her Bible. Who needs anything else?!?!
More pics of Hayes....
The little girls were so proud....
I love that Maryn wanted Hayes to have his little giraffe paci....
and then I got to hold him and he went to sleep! Nothing quite like a sleeping baby!
We had a day off and so we chose to spend it with Daisy playing Putt-Putt....
the weather here was beautiful that week and we all enjoyed our time outside!
I did my first Matilda Jane fashion show to benefit Maddox's school! So fun!
The girls had a great night together raising money for their school playground!
Our sweet Maddox...people were dropping off clothing and somewhere in the midst of it all Chapman found this box and decided to make it her own!
Our trip to Narnia is just around the corner and we are all excited!
Our two babies....a Pony and a Cherub....
MK is the Fox, Maddox is a Fairy Sprite, Maryn is a Pony, Chapman is a Firefly and Ryan is Father Christmas!
Such a sweet time for all of our girls to share the stage with their daddy!
From the littles....
to the middle....
to the big!
And, finally, our February wrapped up with our bi-annual consignment sale to benefit an adopting family! This sale was started when we adopted Maryn and has continued to take place so that we can pay it forward to other families who are adding to their families through adoption. It's one of my favorite times of the year! I am so thankful for those who all come together to make it so successful!
