Lydia 13th birthday!

 Lydia turned 13 on Wednesday.  We celebrated with Michael taking her out to dinner on Tuesday night and then Mom took her out on her birthday Wednesday and then we came home and watched BBCs Emma.  

On Sunday we enjoyed a mother-daughter tea party with her friends.  We had diamond art for them to work on as a craft and we played a game of who knows Lydia well as well as the past the prize game. We also spent time having a lot of the women share what makes a Godly woman and then prayed for her.  It was a special time 

Snow

 Snow in South Carolina?  Yes, in January 31, we got a few inches of snow.  We enjoyed it so much!  I really felt like it was such a gift from God.  We sledded down our hill on the road, made snowmen, snowballs and went for snow hikes and walks.  

Our neighbor even made us snow cones!  

We even went to CIU to sled there and do a snow hike with students.  

Jeremiahs Birthday!

 Jeremiah turned 15 on February 7th.  He got Starbucks in the morning, had his first driving lesson, had soccer practice and had a great Airsoft party.  He played Airsoft with some guys and dads.

They then came back to our home for pizza and a movie.

Jeremiah is doing well in his high school classes.  He still does lots of yard work and enjoys playing soccer.  He is hoping to start driving sometime this year.
