Hey look! I remembered. I was so worried that I wouldn't remember I had to write it down on two different calendars, hoping that would jog my memory. Then I was afraid that I'd see it and think why did I write today is the 12th? Isn't that obvious?
Nevertheless, I guess my pregnant brain isn't TOO far gone.
So, here we go, the February edition of Twelve on Twelve:
1. Christian LOVES the Lowe's Build and Grow workshops. We took the kids this morning, where they were supposed to make heart jewelry boxes. Christian was going to make his for Avery, and Ansley was very excited about it. (You may recall she missed the last one because she ate too many vitamins.) But they were out when we got there, which was quite disappointing to her.
2. So instead they got to make game boxes, which they enjoyed. Christian didn't care as long as he was hammering, and Ansley enjoyed it too. They are cute.
3. It seemed like a good day to clean out the fridge. And I don't mean throw out expired food, I mean take every shelf out and wipe it down with Clorox, then arrange all the food in alphabetical order starting at the top. Or something like that.
4. Ansley showing off her toothless smile. Her top teeth are coming in nicely, but she lost that bottom one, making for five in all.
5. Ansley and I went out this afternoon and got pedicures. It's important, since that's one of the first things Avery will see, to have nice toenails for delivery. Ansley chose an "Avery pink" she said, and I chose red for Avery's near Valentine's Day arrival.
6. A silly moment on the couch. This is our last weekend of four. Kinda crazy, huh?
7. Christian praying at dinner time.
8. Dinner this evening. Most meals these days consist of items already made or that we froze for easy meal access. This evening was smoked barbeque that John had made a few months ago (frozen of course). It was yummy!
9. Of course, any meal is made yummier with brownies and ice cream.
10. No day is complete without a little reading.
11. Thirty nine weeks and four days.
12. Bedtime in the top bunk with flashlights and books.
Interesting to think about what March 12 pictures will be like!
Hi! I love your blog! Today was my first visit, but I plan to come back again. I'll have to see pictures of that new baby (who, if she is born in the 15th, will share my birthday). :) Thanks for helping us let folks know about the TOS Homeschool Expo! Blessings to you and your family.

I just came over from Ann’s. Happy St. Valentine’s Day
Yours is the second baby in the womb I’ve gotten to pray for today – barely in time :)
And my favorite from your list today:
7. Christian praying at dinner time. ( and I will fight back, but give into the urge to say :the family that prays together … :)
God Bless and Keep you and yours and your soon to be newborn.
