Yikes, who took February?! Man have we been busy, since I last updated this, we had our winter fest weekend here in our great little town and once again we were in the cardboard sled race, first the kids and Mariada made the local news which was lots of fun. The kids however came in second to last place so they didn’t move on, but when it was the old peoples turn with the sled, well we of coursewe kept winning our heats and ended up in the finals where we took fourth! To be honest we almost threw the second to last heat, because we were all pretty tired of carrying that thing back up the hill!
Just after that Bob and I took a quick “just us” trip to the Dominican Republic, it was wonderful to spend some time together just catching up, surfing and playing in the 83 degree sunshine! We came home and spend the following weekend taking out a gaggle of teenage girls to pizza and bowling to celebrate one year of having Miss Mariada home! Her first time bowling, she loved it. Then it was off to Springhill for a youth retreat for a weekend of skiing, rock climbing and concerts!
A few days after that and we took Sara out west for a big ski race, got to stay with some dear friends as well. She really held her own. Then back home for Mariada’s volleyball games and exams. And in the middle of it are indoor soccer trainings two days a week, profession of faith classes once a week, consoling once a week, volleyball games twice a week and youth group every Sunday as well as Bible Study for Bob and I! Oh and a sleepover just about every weekend! Yup our newest and youngest loves to stay busy.
Mariada is doing so well, it’s crazy how some days it seems like our trip to bring her home feels like yesterday, but she fits in our family as though she’s been here forever.
Off to pack for a weekend “up north”.
