Citrus kick

I am on a huge citrus kick over here. It started with the cutie oranges for Valentine's day...now I have bowl full of Key limes on the counter that I'm planning on whipping into a pie. Just thinking about the sweet, tartness of it is making my mouth water, yummy! I think I'll make some lemonade to sip on over the next few days too. Wonder if this sudden citrus craving is me just trying to will Spring time here? We are ready for it!

Our babykins

Beautiful, wonderful, perfect all American girl!

So glad she was chosen for our family! 

 

Kisses!

The weekend is here

We had the most enjoyable week here! Wonderful weather, time with friends at the park, bike rides, playing outside, opening our windows and letting fresh, crisp air blow into all corners of our home....really, what more could you ask for in February?! It has been blissful! Our weekend plans are just as nice as our week has been. Jeff and I are taking the kids to one of their favorite parks tonight followed by ice cream cones at home. A relaxing Saturday is in store ~ we'll attend Mass on Saturday evening this week so I can volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House early Sunday morning. Preparing breakfast again for the families spending this part of their life in this wonderful House. We are always looking for extra help so if you live close by get in touch with me, we would love to have you come along and help out :)

Kisses!

Toothless

The darling tooth fairy made her second visit to our home last night! That's right, our boy lost another tooth and his toothless grin is adorable! He awoke to find six quarters in his tooth box, another note from the fairy and a wee bit of pixie dust on his night stand ~ proof she was there while he was off in the land of nod! Another milestone for Mr. Jack and my heart is having a hard time handling all this growing up he has been doing. I love it but I'm trying not to blink so I can enjoy it all!

Such a happy kiddo!

Hugs!

Mails here

Jack had been bouncing around the house all morning long waiting for the mail to arrive. You see, he made an extra special Valentine at school yesterday for Jeff and I. He stamped it and walked it out to the mailbox with his class, and now it was headed our way! It certainly made our day when it arrived and to see the excitement on Jack's face when we finally opened it was priceless. We love him so!

 YAY!  It's here Mom!

Little loves

Our little loves...hard to get a good picture of the two of them!

These are the Valentine's we mailed out this year! 

Happy Valentine's Day!  Kisses!

Goodies for friends

Jack and I finished up his Valentine goodies for his classmates tonight after enjoying a tasty dinner with Gramma and Papa. Last year we made heart shape crayons for his friends and this year we are giving them cutie oranges! Simple and sweet :) Hoping to make his teachers day by surprising her with a homemade lunch ~ chicken salad on croissant, creamy baked potato soup and a fudgy heart shaped brownie. Hope everyone has an extra special Love Day this year!

Cuties for the cuties in Jack's class!

Valentine's we gave out last year, they were a hit!

Kisses!
