February's Friendship

-

 Howdy :)

February's Friendship bits found us with a somewhat slower month, which I for one soaked up, before the madness of March hits...

...the swing set is done, and the girls are loving it!  



...starting school out on the platform swing in pjs...
...going on an 'adventure' with one of their favorite furry side-kicks...


...someone didn't want her picture taken, one did ;)...
...some of their favorite pillows...

...we have purposed this winter season to try to get a few minutes of morning sun, even if it's less than 5 minutes...no matter the length of morning sun therapy, there is always quick joinings-in from others :)...





...snuggling one, schooling one :)...
...Caspian started peeing all over the house, so he has been booted to the outside and has definitely claimed and made his home in the backyard now.  He loves trying to catch birds, gets along great with the dogs, and seems totally at peace with this move...



...our doggies...


...we had a couple day bug of some sort, and this one kept begging to cuddle and rock...
...friend fun...



...the reception you get when you arrive with feed, LOL...
...the ducks have started laying again and so has the goose, Maizy...the best custards and creme brulees are on the menu...
...making some cookies with the girlies...

...one of her favorite activities...



...Valentine's tradition of a single rose for Daddy's daughters...

...each flower selection was picked with a meaning, so this bouquet speaks in more than one way ;)...
...our traditional Valentine's charcuterie meal, with a small special or odd food treat, although Kirk surprised everyone with a bit for everyone...ps-can you tell someone didn't want their picture taken...


...I got that picture anyway :D...
...Jadon and his team spent a week helping with Samaritan's Purse in Mississippi... he said it was a week full of blessings serving those in need... he said out of all the trips he has done to serve, this one was by far the most fulfilling...








...Jadon and a couple of friends helped with the Tebow Foundation's Night To Shine Event in East Texas... he said it was a great evening celebrating those who live with disabilities...


...Kirk is enjoying the birthday celebration of a friend...

...a fun mom's game night...very rarely do I get a night out, and it was fun :)
Blessings to all :)
