D.C.

Spring break for some of us was spent in our nation's capital.......Washington D.C. We went on a prayer mission to pray around some of the great monuments of our country. We handed out stickers encouraging people to pray with the scripture 2 Chronicles 7:14. We were on a mission but we had fun and saw lots of sights as well. The majority of the travelers drove on two vans for 23 hours! Five of us flew including me. We rented a large home (the same one we rented three years ago) which gave us the opportunity to have breakfast at the house plus fix sack lunches to take with us. We cooked every night except one and went to Carmines that one meal. We walked, rode the metro, walked some more, saw monuments, handed out stickers, walked, ate lunch wherever we happened to be whether it was the Library of Congress or the Lincoln Monument, walked, performed dramas, walked and walked and walked. The day the kids stayed late to see the monuments after dark, they recorded that they had walked over 10 miles that one day. It was a very tiring trip but a very rewarding one as well.

 The elevators were very steep. Just glad it wasn't stairs.

Following their leader!

There are lots more pictures but I will save them for another day.

The protectors

I know a little girl that is going to have so many protectors around here that she probably eventually is going to be sick of it. But never fear Miss LilyAnn, your protectors are here!

And now just some random pics of the sweet little one that they protect.

Snow day!

We don't get many snow days around here and for me that's not good. I love the snow and wish we had more. I just don't like the ice that usually comes before the snow in this area. I was beginning to think we weren't going to have any winter weather this year but suddenly at the end of February here it is. Warning this is going to be picture heavy.
