(heart)strings

Saturday was Summer's baby shower. 

It was great having everyone together, especially all the mother's in our family.

We are all at such different stages in motherhood.

Summer at the very beginning not knowing yet what it's all about but ready to find out.

Myself adjusting to growing kids who are becoming more and more independent.

Nicole getting ready for another one to be graduating and moving on leaving only one at home.

and my mother...

well thankfully a mother's job is never finished so she still mothers and prays for us all daily. 

I love that we are all here for each other.

The shower was fun and what adorable things she got, baby girls are so easy to shop for.

Of course I might be a little biased but I think Kimberly will love to wear this outfit

and the card that Ryan wrote out for her was pretty sweet too. 

Sunday was church then working outside.

We just bought a new to us camper this week and had a lot of outside work to do in order to get it parked next to the house.  The boys had to help out too, moving firewood and rocks and helping clean and do chores.  Surprisingly enough Cody was the hardest worker but he did find some time to read while waiting until we all went back inside.  Ryan enjoyed helping Heath change the oil in the vehicles and Luke spent most of his time not helping but playing tether ball in the backyard.

It was a great way to spend our last weekend in February,

I wonder what March is going to bring?
