Grandpa and Grandma Babcock came for a quick vistit.  Our best moments together were playing TENZI.

 Her jammies say "Grandpa Loves Me."

 Many projects were due, so they played games while I did them.

 Valentine's Day was a success.  Here is their loot.

 My lunch was lovely.

 Their lunch was incredibly clever.

 Breakfast was sweet with small gifts and lovely cuisine.

 Maddie's heart hair.

 Maisie's red nails.

 Nick's red shirt.

 Andy's red shorts.

 My lovely table.

While decorating the table the night before at 10 pm, Austin came home and said, "You're a such a good mom."  I started to tear up, because I work really hard, and mostly I get people to do the things they don't want to, and it takes all I have to make this home run.  The day of love was no exception, but they are worth it.  Hugs and kisses to all my peeps, I love you.

Cutest Baby

Someone told me yesterday that I have the cutest baby -- she was right, I do.

I finally took "blessing" pictures of Molly, but I couldn't get her to smile and look at me simultaneously.  Plus, the two little boys didn't help out as they were wrestling beside her, and she could not keep her feet still.  These will have to do.

I called my mother and she said she was making quiche.  I decided to do the same.  Both were quite delicious.  The upper was a vegetable with brown rice crust, and the lower was bacon spinach with a pasty crust.

 They found the heavy whipping cream and helped themselves and each other.  My mother said it was hereditary, I quite agree.

 She's very fat.

 And very nice.

 Bath time.

 Wednesday morning by 7:20 am, my kitchen immaculate.  It is lovely.

 These guys came and fixed our spetic tank and dug a trampoline hole plus seven fruit tree holes.

 Later that day, during piano lessons I didn't hear the buzzer on my Italian flavored breads, apparently neither did the other six people sitting on the couch just beside the kitchen.  So, we had a hearty soup in which to dip the bread in and soften.

 He actually crossed paths with her.

 Eddie reminded me that we needed a new baby swing; he was right.  Molly sure loves it.

 These MVPers had two early out days.

 Maisie's new hair cut.

 Meg's usual selfie.

Gross.

 I read a book this week, well almost.  I still have 50 pages.

 I couldn't find these boys Saturday morning.  They were safe and sound and together on the tramp.

 Nick's game -- we all attended.

 Afternoon tramp time.

 Feeding in the bus.

 We have the best rainbows.

 Instead of Sunday dinner dishes, trampoline time.

I found a whole bunch of selfies on my phone this week.

Boy am I glad I get to nurture and teach these two.  This is just after our morning scriptures and prayer together.

 They accidentally dressed as opposites in gray and black.

  I moved all the 0-3 month clothing out and the 3-6 month clothing in.  Miss Molly is sure growing.

 I ate this for lunch everyday.

 More selfies.

My new steam oven sure works wonders on my bread.

 We fianlly had warm weather Saturday, so we were on the swings quite a bit.

 My Panda Express fortune was very fitting.

 Nick played very well in his basketball game.  Andy did too, but I didn't take a picture.  Next week I will.

Austin made great progress in building grow boxes for our garden this year.  Those pieces in the back stack on top of each other.

Maisie read all five great brain novels and reread some other books.  She loves me.
