The Lord knew just what we needed

All I have to say about this winter is UGH. It has been long, cold and sickly and it's not even February yet. I think the Lord knew just what we everyone needed on Saturday when we woke up to 60+ degrees and SUNSHINE. It was so nice that I decided to take the boys and Bentley to the park. Breeann stopped by with Ada, Tori and a friend of Tori's and we invited them to tag along as well. It was so nice to have a breath of fresh warm air. I know the babies had to feel the same way. Especially since they have all been so sick and stuck inside this winter. I took a few pictures with my phone to share...

It was such a nice day. And like I said... we NEEDED it to prepare us for what February has in store for us. Even though I wished it would stay this pretty and warm, I know it must come to an end. Haha.

The boys had a good time playing together on Saturday. I'm glad Harrison got to come out and spend some time with Tuff. They were both so excited to see each other when Harrison walked in. They immediately went running and giggling towards Tuff's bedroom as soon as Harrison got there. Both took good naps, ate good lunch and had fun playing outside. Bentley was also a joy to have for the weekend. I'm sure most of you know but Bentley is technically "my" dog... I'm sure my mom and dad wouldn't call him that anymore since they give him a home but I will always be "mama" to him. Bentley was my pride and joy for 2 years before I had Tuff. I pretty much treated him like my baby... LITERALLY. When Tuff came along, it was so hard to give him the attention he needed with a new baby. I felt guilty most of the time for not being able to give him the attention he used to get (before Tuff). So I thought about trying to find him a home with someone who could give him the attention he "needed" and mom and dad couldn't stand the thought of it so they decided to take him in. It really worked out well because I still get to see him as much as I want and he gets to have a vacation at our house every now and then when mom and dad need to go out of town, etc. It's funny because he just comes over and acts like he's right at home.. like he never left at all. I'm glad we got to spend some quality time together with BB's.
Tuff enjoyed spending time with him too.

Is this not the cutest, sweetest face EVER? :)

We had a nice relaxed weekend with some good company. It was nice and much needed of course. :) Only 3 days until we get to hear out little's heartbeat. We can't wait!!!! Hope you all had a wonderful warm weekend!!!!
