Psalm 127:3-5
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,

The fruit of the womb is a reward.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,

So are the children of one’s youth.

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;

They shall not be ashamed,

But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

We haven't been doing much, but we did have a few things happen. No baby yet. :(

The 13 was Mommy's birthday. We had breakfast casserole for breakfast, bacon quiche for supper, and chocolate cheesecake for cake. I made the cheesecake and I even liked it! It had Oreo pieces in it and on top. She got a cast iron Dutch-oven, her rings re-sized and a micro SD card for her phone(so she could get the pics off). On Valentine's day we each got a few Reece's hearts and some gum. Mommy got a set of heart teaspoon and Tablespoons instead of gum. Daddy got some cherry filled Hershey Kisses. We also got some candy and cupcakes from our neighbors.

Samantha went to work at camp on the 13 and 14.
We went to church on the 15 and the midwife came yesterday.

That's all that we have done.
We are sill waiting for the baby, but I'll post within a day or so when she is born.

Levi liked to walk in all the snow.

Why would we ever walk around it???

Well here some of the many pictures I have taken. This should give a good overview of each event.

Yesterday after we went to shots, we went to look at the snow sculptures in Lake Geneva. Most were only about half finished.

Time for lunch.
