February was a quick and wonderful month!
I started meeting with these ladies weekly and have enjoyed what we're learning together.
Madelyn is doing a lot of work on her handwriting skills and making strides.
She learned all of her letters and sounds this month. We played this alphabet game a lot and Ezra was so sweet to join.
Madelyn loves to help me in the kitchen and is excited she can use scissors now to cut the tips of the green beans off.
For the Super Bowl we had friends over and made some great food. The game was kind of boring but the fellowship was great. I wore my Cowboys shirt because I'm always a Cowboys fan.. even when they don't make the cut.
Madelyn is SO social. She has a lot of friends from school. The girl with the headband is named Charvi. She lives in our neighborhood and we have gone to her house and met her at the park for playing.
Ezra played in another golf tournament. He isn't quite as good as the other kids because they take coaching every day after school but he has a lot of fun!
He played with these two girls in his age bracket. They were sweet.
He had some great shots. His drives and chipping are very good and just needs to work on putting now.
For Valentines week we did a really fun craft from Pinterest.
On Valentines day, we did another craft, had heart themed meals and I made our annual chocolate fondue. I cut up fruit to dip though because we are trying to eat healthier as a family.
Our sweet friend Aniaya turned 5. She is one of my best friend's daughter and truly precious!
We love playing outside when the weather is good!
The kids have been so great at working hard even after school. Ezra has been learning to read and making incredible progress. Madelyn is going to be skipping a grade to enter straight into preschool this coming year so we've been playing catchup to prepare her. We're moving her upward to put her in the right grade by American standards instead of Indian standards.
We have a little arcade/bowling alley in the mall. The other day they were running a special where you could play every arcade game and a round a bowling for $7! The kids took turns and had a blast!
I started a 100 book reading challenge with Ezra in which he progresses in book difficulty so that by the end he will be at a 2nd grade reading level. He should finish before he is done with Kindergarten. This guy works hard and is a great student! I'm so proud of him!
I love how much Madelyn looks like me. She is my tiny best friend. :)
It's so easy to forget to take selfies of just us two, but I love the way this one turned out. The flowers behind us are my favorite!
The weather is getting better which means we're back to playing in the park more and more. Madelyn loves the elephant slide.
Ezra is more into playing soccer.
Meetings, homeschool fun, friends, crafts and playing outside.. that about sums up our February. I am so very thankful for this life we live. It is so much more abundantly joyful and amazing than I thought was possible. We serve a great God!
