A Heart Full of Love

Nothing much photo-worthy lately. We are waiting out the yucky months of winter (Jan & Feb). Just wanted to say I love my little family. Ana stayed home sick with a gravelly voice and a cough but was in the best spirits all day. We baked and frosted cupcakes then worked on her preschool homework card. The rest of the time she tended her babies and stuffed animals. (She is a way better mom than me, that's for sure.) Meili overheard Ana say that T.V. is much better than books, so she sat Ana right down and read to her for an hour out of some of her favorite children's books. Ana WILL be a book lover if Meili has anything to say about it. Thank you, Mei! I am just so proud of Eliah and how hard he has worked the past few months on a really tough goal. He can do ANYTHING! Plus, he makes us all laugh like crazy. And Daryl quietly keeps us all going along with his steady ways. I'm grateful to be a part of his life. Thank you, family!

That's awesome! I can just see Mei looking up from her book in disgust when she heard Ana say that. What a good girl. And Ya, definitely you rock! You finally conquered this goal. We love all of you. What a love fest!

I'm so sorry that your prediction of Ana's illness came true. I must shamefully admit that I used to love it when my kids had to stay home sick. I miss those hours of snuggling down together with a good book or a Disney classic. Hope she is feeling better. And congratulations to Eliah and whatever his goal was... we don't like to set ourselves up for disappointment around here, so we just don't set goals. Hee, Hee!
Glad the love is flowing - you're in our thoughts and prayers!
