RETREAT

What a sweet picture! I wasn't there to take this picture or any of the following ones...I ran away! Well, actually, I rode in a car far away to a wonderful retreat. Woody was the only parent for a whole weekend. I had a great time and Woody was ready for me to return. Of course, he also "retreated" to his parents house for part of the time to take the girls to see their cousins.

They played on the swing set, rode bikes and other vehicles outside a lot to get out that energy...

and also played dress up and hide and seek indoors!

As well as anything else that tickled their fancy... :)

Mmm, the valentine cake looks good... they didn't save me a piece, though! :)

One thing that they had to return home for was t-ball evaluation for Natalie. She has a lot of natural talent, so we're signing her up for t-ball this spring. Practices start soon, so we'll be spending a lot of time on the field while she plays.

One neat story that Natalie said yesterday was regarding her cousins. She was talking about how much fun she has with them. They have moved closer to us but are still in another state. She said, "We'll just take turns moving until we are right next to each other." How wonderful that would be!
