FINALLY time to play with Hannah!!

It's been a very long time since Joshua and Hannah have had some time to get together and play.  Well, today was the day and oh my did they have fun together!  It is such a blessing to see their personalities come together as they enjoy each others company!!!

A $25 getaway

We snuck away on MLK Day to the Bavariann Inn Lodge in Frankenmuth for a $25 overnight getaway (okay it was a bit more because we decided to stay an extra night, but STILL - so cheap if you are a Perks club member).  This is Joshua's favorite place to kick back and play - Thank you Lord for providing inexpensive family fun!!!

January Birthdays

Always a great time celebrating our family birthdays - this month we honored Melissa and my mom!!

Let it Snow Let is Snow Let is Snow

It certainly has been a crazy winter with colder days than normal and snow that seems to fall daily - an inch at a time.  We've had our fair share of winter time fun, but I think that Joshua is even starting to grow weary of bundling up.  Anyway, here are a few pics of backyard fun - enjoy!
