Early March

Learning to garden with Della, who digs the bulbs back up as her playthings.

Play with your own toys, pup!

Saying goodbye to Downtown Abbey... Sniff

Enjoying experiencing The Blue Man Group when they came through town. Impressed with the PVC pipe instruments. Happy not to have to travel to Vegas to see twinkies being consumed.

Happy to see the kids enjoy the sunshine before the pollen count sends us all for relief indoors.

 

Gorgeous starry skies that I can enjoy first thing in the morning after time change Sunday. I was so caught up in the beauty of the night sky that I did not see Della lapping up the coffee out of my cup!

 

A's fitness challenges that keep him running to the treadmill and shaking his Fit-Bit arm up and down.

 

Consuming lots of berries, beans, and legumes; lightening up on our love of cheese

My lit magazine journalism student experiencing distress over my stream-of-consciousness blog writing style .... "Are you not a fan of the Oxford comma?"

A call to prayer

 

Everyday happenings- February and March

 

Most days my little song-bird is just waiting for an audience. This was "dress like a favorite book character day". She chose Aphrodite, goddess of love. Don't have to worry much about her confidence.

February brough a slew of ailments. This stay-home-from-school-day produced two cough medicine debacles. One on the white couch (which apparently you aren't supposed to spot clean with water):

And one on the white ceiling, when a bossy older sister tried to assist the reluctant infected by shooting the syringe into her mouth...and past her mouth. This might be an indicator that we should go dye-free in the Davis household!

I loved spending time with dear friends at the Girlfriend Revolution women's conference. Mother-daughter pairs joined us for the weekend to learn more of God's design for friendships and to help make luopads for the women of South Sudan.

Proud of my talented friends for putting together a lovely conference

Consulting my younger friends for how to post on Instagram

Searching for lost things sends me on a crazy purging mission. None of these gloves have mates. Our house is a black hole. I think the Little House on the Prairie era idea of tying mittens together with a string was the right way to go.

Speaking of ancient history, back in the 1900's when we were born, we didn't learn coding in elementary school.

Girlfriends of all ages gather to pray, work, consult, and play

MJ rehearsing with her buds for the school talent show

Consulting the manual when our puppy sits down in the middle of the street, phobic of storm drains, refusing to walk; Re-watching Marley and Me with the kids and finding it so much funnier now that we live in dog world. Meeting neighbors on walks with Della that we have never seen before.

Elizabethan collar is code for "cone of shame". Aunt Michelle doctors up Della beautifully, and she makes a speedy recovery.

Will and Natalia head to see Dr. Barry for sinus infections and headaches that just won't give.

Meeting with a nutritionist and trying out more healthy recipes. Most of which we do not like, but we are committed to taking baby steps.

Bowling birthday for the young at heart

Perusing the journals of Thomas Merton, contemplative and writer
