I hadn't realized that having teens accelerates the speed of time! I can't believe I have kids (3!) who are teens, and that the rest are getting taller. My weeks fly by compared to when I had 4 kids, 4 & under, and I looked forward all day to Daddy getting home. That was busy, but this is time acceleration. I blink and it is Monday; I blink again and it is Friday. At least winter seems short! I love every moment (hmmm.... that's not quite true....); but I do enjoy these years and get sad to think next year no diapers (hmmm...that's not quite true either...). But there will be 4 teens (fun!), and tons of new opportunities to watch them grow into the adults God wants them to be.

Last week, Deer & her friend worked on the bottles for the penny drive they are going to have at Awana. A missionary family is taking care of 3 year old, Joel. He is autistic and quite a handful, but they are working to help recover his body from the malnutrition and harsh treatment he's had. The penny drive will help with funds for a highchair and crib. They hand out the bottles this next week. Go Girls!!

All the rain in February melted the snow on the pond. It refroze into a beautiful ice-skating rink!! Needless to say, we are enjoying skating! Here are a few pictures of one day:

Dot the Olympian :-)

Dessert is working on going backwards.

Darling and Rosie truck around.

This is what happens when goofy girls get together and decide to help Darling dress up.

She loved the attention and showing off. Who says the youngest get the scraps of attention?! She is showered with love and attention at every corner. She may not get her baby book filled, but she is sure enjoyed!!
