February Fun

 This winter has been long and cold, and though there were several missed or delayed days of school, MDO and even Friendship, we tried to not let the cold keep us indoor all the time.   Here Gloria and Caleb enjoyed a Sunday afternoon of biking riding.  Gloria is in her AppleJack outfit.
 At our church there was a children's new Christian class.  On the last meeting, the children gave their testimony.  Ms Bonnie (who prayed with Ron'trail at VBS) was a great teacher!
 The girls really enjoyed ice skating so Caleb wanted to take them roller skating too.  They didn't get as brave and it was inside, dark and noisy but overall a fun time was had.
 Valentine's! Our week of dress up and fun was put on FB but here is a picture of Gloria's crafts from Friendship.
 And our winter front yard sun makes for a great afternoon with friends.  The girls made a club called Animal Shelter Girls complete with logo-paw, and flag.
 Gloria and I attended Rasmia's American citizenship ceremony.  Very moving to see 638 from other countries become Americans!
 We took Janine to the Texas State History Museum and enjoyed the amazing mammals and a short film about Texas after lunch at Cafe Express.  It was another chilly rainy day so we were happy for inside fun.  Janine enjoyed learning more about our great state :)
 We hosted some international ladies through Global Austin.  Ines from Tunisia & Shadia from Yemen are both CEOs of nonprofits, they were traveling with a larger group through the US and enjoyed a dinner with our family.
We are enjoying Wednesday with Kylie.  She and Gloria make the greatest creations with playdoh!
