VALENTINE’S DAY

We made heart shaped doughnuts on Valentine’s Day. Janie said, “Mom, can I have one more, I only have eaten 5!”

SOCCER BUDDY

Kris and Mike bought us this Manchester United soccer uniform and he finally fits in it. I thought I wouldn’t be that interested in having the kids follow in Nathan and my footsteps where soccer is concerned, but as soon as I saw him in those shorts and socks, I could just picture him out on a field!

Along the soccer lines, check out Nathan’s new “Hobby” as Friend’s University Men’s soccer coach. After getting to the Friends site, click on “Athletics” and then again on “Men’s Soccer”

Fyvie Susanna!

Here is a new picture of the Martins in Chongqing, China. Will’s mother, Faith, was there for the big event.

SWEET BOY

CINDERELLA

DIRTY LAUNDRY

The other day, the girls discovered the laundry shoot in our basement. They sat in there for the longest time with a flashlight and a book. Once in awhile I would throw a piece of laundry down on top of them, or a pretzel to snack on. They thought it was sooo funny.

CAGED ANIMALS

Nathan built this “structure” so that the girls could get up to the third floor playroom from their room. He surprised them with it Christmas morning. It reminds me of the structures that McDonalds has where you can weave in and out of the steps to get to the top. Aunt Joni is painting a sign that says, “Don’t feed the animals” to hang on the outside. They look like wild animals with that hair!

NEWEST NIECE

Isn’t she beautiful? Marci and Will and the kids will get to hold her for the first time on Valentine’s Day. What a present!

FUTURE ALUMNI?

My grandma gave me this shirt when I was a little girl. This summer my dad gave it to Janie. She wears it to bed all the time!
