Pics From Last Week

Happy Birthday Sophia!

Sophia turned two on Valentine's day. We had a little party for her on Saturday. She came out with her froggy balloon in the morning and said "So-phi-a Bir-day". It was soooo cute :)

We love you so much Sophia. You are getting to be such a big girl.

Thank you God for our Sophie and please bless her and keep her always.

Fire and Ice

"We were a tiny speck in the vast vista of the sea. For a moment the consciousness of the forces arrayed against us would be overwhelming. Then hope and confidence would rise again as our boat rose to a wave and tossed aside the crest in a sparkling shower like the play of prismatic colors at th foot of a waterfall." - Quote from Shakelton's Journal in the book Shipwrecked at The Bottom of the World


Just some cool pics of the icicles hanging from our roof the other day. :) The quote doesn't totally go, but I like the "prismatic light" reference and I have always liked this journal entry. It is neat to think that a rough tough sailor and explorer wrote such beautiful words and in such a dire situation.

Some updated pics of the girls.

Cleaning ladies

The girls helped me clean a couple of weeks ago. Ella used the sweeper vac, Sophie did the "grab it", and I used the big vaccuum. then they both dusted the low stuff too. They loved it and they did such a good job.
