January kicked off in Cincinnati where we brought in the near year with a mini getaway to see Louisville and the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. We were lucky to get away even for just a few days to spend time together and see new places. Jay and I really loved the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum - so cool to see the Bible come alive. Shortly after returning we brought in the near year with Grammy and Poppy and visiting with Aunt Aimee, Uncle Israel, and Tessa. We had a great visit that included new activities like Meow Wolf, Chicken and Pickle, Activate, and making manicotti and homemade crepe dessert bar. We had a lot of fun hanging out together with activities and being at home playing games and catching up. Overall, it was a great way to bring in the near year before having to return back to school and normal life again.
Snowstorm Enzo 2025 hit Houston and we had 3-4 inches of snow, the most we had since moving to Texas! It was great fun for all. The kids had off two days from school and lived their best lives playing outside making snowmen, having snow ball fights, and jumping on the trampoline. It was really pretty and a great way to kick off the new year!
February seemed to fly on by. The kids had two church weekend camps - what great memories. On February 22nd we welcomed Ky'Leigh into the family. After spending two weekends with her earlier in the month, she officially became part of the family on 2/23/25. In Feburary, Modern Acts partnered with Mission of Hope for a Meal Packing Event. We packed 20,000 meals which fed 100 kids in Haiti for an entire year. We supported three local food pantries with almost $1,000 worth of donated food to support our local community. February was definitely marked with love!
It has been a great start to 2025!
