This Just Makes Me Happy
Julia, Oma & Marianna
When I was back home at Christmas, I was looking through one of my grandma's old photo albums and I saw this photo which I had never seen. So much happiness in one picture...

"Kitty on a Pillow"
At the risk of boring Uncle Alan with yet another photo of Leo, I am posting one today. (Hey, it's February in Michigan). But this falls more in the category of silly moments at home than a post about Leo. The other day, Maria started channeling Edward vibes, picked up the big red pillow with Leo on it, and floated him around the room like it was a magic carpet, all while singing "Kitty on a pillow." I think Ed would have been proud.

Mysterious (?) Maria
Maria, looking rather mysterious
Last Saturday, Maria went to the Homecoming Dance at her school with some friends. I took this picture of her while she was waiting. It reminded me of when she was little and John's dad thought she had a mysterious look about her.

Warning: Wacky Week
It's wacky week at the middle school. Bridget was posing rather emotionless at the door when she came home, and I wanted her to act wacky. And that's what I got.

Rehoboth Sunday
Today our Rehoboth Team led the worship at Monroe Community Church. We told stories of how God is at work and did the chapel which we had given twice out there. The message was about how fear of rejection gets in the way of our purpose. Jesus promised never to reject us, "I will never leave you or forsake you." Hebrews 13:6.
Not to beat a dead horse, but here is the final version of the slide show which we showed in the background today:

A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss
Maria dressed for "Decade Day" on Thursday morning
John said that back in 1980 when he went to a Rolling Stone's concert and bought the t-shirt, he had visions of his kids wearing it some day. It has come to pass now as all three of our kids have worn it for some kind of 80's dress-up occasion. What a visionary!

This One Isn't Even Really About the Red Wings
Maria before school Wednesday
As I was saying before, Maria's school is celebrating Homecoming week and they have a whole festival of days during the week (eg. Clash Day, Color Day). Wednesday was named "Sports Fan Day" and let me remind you that Maria loves sports like a cat loves to swim. But, Maria does have great sportsmanship and so she donned her brother's old Red Wing's jersey. The best part???? Out of the junior class, she won best costume! Go Maria, get your game on.

The Elusive King Leo
King Leonardo Fibonacci poses thoughtfully for his Master yesterday
I thought I was going to be able to take a photo yesterday of it snowing while the sun was shining, but when I got my camera out, the moment was gone. Leo came through though for a second, let me take his picture, and then he got up and left. At least I got something.

Sugar and Spice
I walked into my kitchen yesterday morning on Ground Hog's Day, and I saw this fun, fun girl packing her lunch. Hmmm, must be homecoming week, I guessed.
Kind of a unique look I would say. I dropped her off in the high school parking lot on my way to work. With screams, she greeted a friend who was dressed exactly the same. Good thing we have these things to break up our winter.

Sunday Afternoon Nap
Edward came home today after church for lunch and is relaxing here this afternoon. He's on interim break right now - the new semester begins tomorrow! I was so excited to have everyone home for lunch - the girls have been insisting that I don't need a B-12 shot this week :)
