The girls are working hard in school. Gracie is self sufficient which is a good feeling as a parent. And a blessing when we have to spend extra time with Maggie. Maggie has been working hard at school with lots of support there and lots of support at home. Mommy tackles reading, sight words and spelling. Daddy is the Math teacher (DMC: Daddy Math Camp as we call it). We are so proud of both the girls.
We registered for the next school year. It was hard to believe we will have a middle schooler!
We have enjoyed Bella and given her lots of grace this week too. She is so ready, even more so than we are, to have the backyard completed.
I could not resist this picture. This was my first real job out of college and where my career all started. 16 years later I still have the sweatshirt although I don't wear it out much.

| Shortly after Capital Bank in Toledo was acquired by 5/3 Bank! |
We had a great weekend getting a few things done and also a yummy lunch at Gardeners Market in Cleveland. We love their Blackberry Lemonade and anything else we get there too.

| Gracie has started to wear her hair down and let the wave shows. I love it! |
 |
| Maggie in the middle of the story! Love her expressions. |
As we were eating lunch Maggie said "I can't wait to be 18". Hmm.. "Maggie, what makes 18 seem so great to you?" was Mommy's question. "so I don't have any consequences" was the 7 year old logic. What a great teachable moment. I wish I always embraced these. This year I am working to embrace more. We talked through that when you are 18 consequences are natural based on the decisions. We as parents given you consequences for decisions today to provide the moment to teach you how to make good choices when the stakes are even higher! While I don't think she fully understood, she smiled with a knowing look of "okay, Mom!".
Sunday was a rough day with sick girls. But forced us to rest together and watch the Super Bowl. We just wish the Falcon's would have won.

| This girl had a terrible cough (again!). She was boarder line bronchitis. A new inhaler and steroids should help. She was on the mend to go to school. |
 |
| This one threw up at church. I rushed her home to snuggle and rest. So many of the sweet dream team members at church loved on her and never once complained about having to clean up after a sick little girl. We are so blessed by such a great team we serve with and worship with. |
 |
| a lazy Monday to rest while Mommy works |
 |
| a little play time! |
 |
| Don't let her fool you.... "can you fluff my pillow?" was a statement I heard. She was doing just fine.
