Snow and babies and taxes, oh my!
February 23
The forecasters were right...we woke up to a whole bunch of snow, and it was still going. It was piled up enough that we closed the office. It was actually a welcomed day of rest and getting some backlogged things done. Jack was at work, but the four of us got some game time in before the snow removal began.

I stepped outside for a few minutes, just to be outside. The sun is especially pleasant after a storm.

The social worker came to do our foster care license renewal. God, in his wisdom and humor, gave me a burden for foster care, even though I don't particularly like kids.
14 years, 35 kids, blessings, tears, laughter, heart-break, lessons, perspective, love.
My girl, fresh off of happy news in her life.

I get to work with my family every day, doing something I love. We happened to be in the same room all in black, gray and white, so I snapped a picture. :)

Avery and Jack grabbed the kids for the weekend, so they camped out at our house. Unlike me, they love, love kids and its beautiful to watch.

Our last TBQ Meet before districts.
This kid. In the car, he was telling me all about his plans to build a treehouse. I thought, you are so much like your dad, though he hasn't seen him since he was an infant. I encouraged Dakota to fine-tune his plans while he waits for the snow to melt and spring to come and I was amazed at his imagination.
With all the snow we had, it was surprising a field could be available, but apparently turf fields are plowable.

We enjoyed the last couple hours with the kids. (and then also the quiet when they had left ;))
