Favorite Five: March 2015 (My Three Girls)

It is rare that I can snap a picture of my girls all together, yet this month I seemed to have many of them.

Nothing particularly creative here, simply my favorite five, of my favorite three, just doing their thing…

OK, I'm cheating, this is from late February (Community Serve Day). 

I just found this on Chris' fancy camera, and LOOK AT THESE LOVELIES!…can't believe they are mine.

Family Movie Night: The Parent Trap (1961 version)

Let me just say, we have come a long way since 1961. For example…there was a lot of smoking around children in this movie, and parents asked questions like, "How was your summer?"...because they truly had no idea how their children's last three months at camp had been (I'm totally against today's helicopter parenting/checking in constantly, but surely there is a happy medium). 

We just donated our glider. The chair I nursed my three babies in. Sniff sniff.

I asked Chris to get a picture of me holding my babies in the chair, one last time.
This is what I got. It's kind of perfect, actually.

(And although it looks like it, I am not flipping off the camera...at least I don't think I was.)

 Spring Break Day 1: haircuts

 Spring Break Day 2: scooters at the park (Sam is displaying her roly-polies)

 Wish me luck on Spring Break days 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13&14! Whoa-nelly.

Favorite Five: February 2015

I'm pretty sure this February will go down as the craziest month we have ever had. 

Crazy busy, crazy full of good things, but CRAZY.

We were out of town 3 weekends in a row (Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, Big Bear),

and then concluded the month with an awesome and immense Community Serve Day.

I turned 36 this month. That number feels about right. The older I get the more thankful I am for each day.

My girlies thought I needed frozen yogurt on my birthday. Totally for me, I'm sure.

 A few days after my birthday these three arrived for our first ever mom/sisters weekend.

We went to Palm Springs…because it was warm there and these girls needed to feel the SUN.

Palm Springs did not disappoint. Although, honestly, I could have been just about anywhere and been happy to have a weekend with my favorite people. I am so blessed to have these incredible women in my life.

 Feb 22 was Community Serve Day for our church.
No church service held that Sunday, instead 1400 people spread the love around San Diego county. 

This year Chris and I had the privilege of leading a site at our grade school.

The project was MASSIVE, but with 75+ people and lots of behind the scenes work, it came together beautifully. It felt like "holy ground" on that Sunday watching our school/church/work/neighborhood all collide. What a joy! And our kiddos did amazing…working 8 straight hours!

This was my favorite picture of the day taken by our friend Chad.
