A Visit From the Tooth Fairy

It's official!  My baby is growing up!  
 Her tooth had been wiggly for DAYS!! 
 
 like hanging on by a thread wiggly
 
 Of course, we had tears...mommy might have had a few tears too ;)
 
 determined to get that tooth out
 
 FINALLY!!
 
 All smiles now
 
 We put her tooth in her little tooth fairy pillow.  We wrote a note to the tooth fairy asking her to please leave the tooth.  Marion Clare said she could have all the other ones, but she wanted to keep the first one. ;)
 
The tooth fairy delivered....she even left some fairy dust behind. ;)

Happy Heart Day

We had a LOW key Valentine's Day.  Marion Clare woke up with a temp. and wasn't feeling that great.  We played a few games, watched a movie, read some books, and got lots of snuggle time in.
 Treats for our Valentine
 
 helped this little girl feel much better ;)
 
 Our Valentine's Day Breakfast
 


We were planning on a "fancy" dinner at home, but Marion Clare still wasn't feeling up to it. :(
She requested cheddar broccoli soup from Mcalisters.  Daddy picked up soup on the way home and mommy made a few other things to go with it. 
So thankful for my two Valentines...love them BIG!!

February

We had LOTS of snow days in February!!  The snow days helped slow us down and gave us more time to get settled in our new home.
 
Fun Times
 

Marion Clare even tried out some snowboarding ;)
 

love having new friends in our new neighborhood
 

Woo Hoo
 







She was a little sad about missing preschool, but she's a pretty big fan of snow days :)
 

This was one of my very last boxes to unpack.  Marion Clare drew a picture of "our family" on the box.  So sweet!
 

Preparing for her Valentine's Day Party
 


I picked her up from school with a huge smile on her face
 

She couldn't wait to get home to show me all of her Valentines
 

Apparently, all the moving and snow days wore her out!!  

January Craziness

January was bittersweet for us.  We sold our house!!  We are so excited about the new plans God has for us, but it was a little harder than expected leaving our home(especially for mommy).  We've had our house on and off the market for a couple of years, so we really didn't have a plan.   We just knew that we needed to be "closer to town."  We found a house 20 minutes away to rent.  This will give us lots of time to think and pray about what our next step should be.  Daddy would love to build again, mommy not so much. :) 
Best helper ever ;)
 

 


Saying our last goodbye to the house we called home for 9 years :(
