Our Daily Dose of Cuteness!

Valerie just took these pictures of her faithful and happy little helper! 
Brielle has been going to the kennel with Valerie twice every day since she first learned to walk! 
It's been such a special time for them! 
And Brielle has really become quite the dog handler in the process!
She especially loves Charlie, the proud Dad of the recent two litters, and this new little pup, Lottie!

A Few Random January Pictures!

We have been enjoying little visits when we can with Taylor and Victoria! 
The photo below was taken with Valerie's phone when Valerie and Caroline were able to go down for a little visit.  
 These three are off today to visit with the Smith family at a birthday party! 
 We are soooo blessed to have frequent visits by this "Happy Little One"
 (As her shirt says!) 
 Today we had a little kid swap . . .Lydia got Ben for the morning,
and I got the adorable GrandBabes!  She's rockin' the ruffle on her little back side! :-) 
 Kyle got to show her off to his classmates online! :-)
(On a side note, Kyle is flying through his online college courses, and still working fairly steadily through the winter as well!) 
Thanks to Lydia for this adorable photo!

It's been raining a lot, so we've been finding things to do inside! 

 Snapped this picture to put into a new photo collage to hang on our living room wall! 
 G. loves her babies! I found her reading to this one recently! 
 Joe keeps busy with taking care of all of his reptiles! 
 Did you know that geckos don'thave eyelids and so they have to lick their eyeballs to keep them clean and moist?  I captured it here for you! :-) 
We've been playing lots and lots of games! 
 We have been playing "Ticket to Ride" almost every day since Christmas! 
It's very different every time, and up to five players can play.   I've been getting in on most of the games, which is fun for me after playing "Old Maid", "Crazy Eights", "Go Fish", "War"and matching games all day every day! ;-) 
These are gears that the boys are enjoying playing with. 
(Thanks, Grandpa!) 




Hairdo re-do day! 
Before shampoo . . . 
  After shampoo and before re-parting and twisting!


Timmy and Mommy are same height now!
Ben's doing great with his reading! 
Caroline is super duper busy right now with all the various pro-life ministry she is involved in! 
She has been visiting lots of churches introducing and recruiting for 40 Days for Life coming up in a few weeks!  She is also hosting some training sessions and scheduling some speaking engagements as part as her work with Life Training Institute.

The Next Generation for Life!

Today was the March for Life Rally at the capital in Olympia and Caroline had a chance to testify for life concerning 2018 HB 6105.  
This bill would require insurance companies and employers to pay for abortions, in essence making abortions free for the expectant mom that does not want the baby, or has been told by someone in her life that it would be best for her to abort her baby :-( 
Many of our children have personal reasons to testify against abortions.  They had good reasons why they should have been aborted . . . according to medical professionals or other influences/circumstances.
We are sooooo thankful that God spared their lives and that they are healthy, happy sons and daughters!
