12/ year - February

Once again, I am joining my dear friend Barb at Praying for Grace for this month's photo diary. Going through the pictures made me see that February wasn't so bad.  Between parties, hikes, learning to dance, cousin's ball games,  women's conference prep we were up and about and had a good month on what is normally the gloomiest month of the Winter.  Enjoy!


we had a birthday

Countdown to two parties -Valentine's day and Barb's daughter's birthday and of course, the weather report

our homeschool group's Valentine's day party at a bounce place. This is about half of the people who showed up.  This annual party gets bigger and better each year.

Happy March!  Spring is almost here...

  1. That was a good month!

    That park is beautiful -- where is it? We must go there! Together!

    1. Believe it or not this was at Sharon Woods. The downside of that part of the park is there are a lot of geese droppings! That's why they played soccer on the playground instead of the grass. Yes, we must go there sometime in the spring.

    I am visiting all of the 12/year moms from Barbara's blog!
    Looks like a fun month! You had blue sky in February - that's a blessing!
    Looking forward to March 12/year.
