February

This is just a typical morning above.  

Pancakes going, Sia about to dump it all everywhere, windows open (daddy's already gone for work), bottles of life's essentials sitting there...(coconut oil, maple syrup, water)...breakfast-great part of the day!

A fun adventure to the Santa Barbara zoo and Anthropologie.  

And then this ^^^

Ugh....Noelle had to have a few teeth crowned and it was a rough moment in my life. 

 These babies are so good & precious and I could barely handle this whole scene. 

So moving on...thank goodness!

Valentine's Day.  

I often forget I should never buy anything because my AWESOME Grammy Florence always gets it all and sends it over in her magical boxes! She got frosting, cake mix (which we did cookies with), and cupcake liners (which we decorated with).

Rainy days...

I have just purged our entire home. Ending with my clothing collection. Finally finished. It feels good. I can sit in my girls play room and actually focus on playing with them instead of organizing it over and over and thinking of what I can get rid of.  They surprised me with cleaning it today.
They are such awesome little souls. Gwinna helps me no matter what I ask her to do. Poor girlfriend wants to help more. My goal is to let her! Goodness. She wanted to do dishes tonight but I just think: disaster! Because really she wants to play with water. But I need to let her anyway!!
I set up their canopy today and lights. It's a magical room. I love it.. maybe even more than they do!
Michael is the greatest husband in the universe. Today he showed up with baby alive babies for girls, fruit loops w/marshmallows (didn't know those existed!), milk (which we needed!), and dark chocolate for mama! Good, good man. I feel so humbled and inadequate to be the wife and mother to these amazing people. Ugh. I love them so much.

"Armed with righteousness"
Just always been a great image and reminder. Also cool to think that we build this armor through righteous acts everyday, every moment! When we are righteous we are PROTECTED. I love it, love it, love it!!
