Signs of spring......

  • Mud and lots of mud!   
  • Time Change (spring ahead)
  • Birds chirping. 
  • Spring sports schedules wallpapering the fridge doors
  • Lent Soup Suppers and Worship
  • March is reading Month 
    • this is our last year of One School One Book - we are ready "The Chocolate Touch".   It is a silly book and easy read.   I have enjoyed the One School One Book over the years and maybe Reese and I will continue to read a book together every March
  • Selecting classes for next school year
  • Boat in water and walleye fishing starting!
  • Getting motivated to do spring projects/cleaning and making lot of lists.

Almost June

The weeks in this Quarantined state - fly by fast.  Walk, work, cook, clean, repeat.   Recently though we have been able to add in a few baseball/softball practices, Parker started to work a bit cutting grass, Reese has had a few play dates.  Things are definitely different in the world, but we manage to fill each day and be grateful.  For the most part the yard work is tip top and the dandelions are already gone.  In May the trees filled out and the robins eggs hatched.  Now comes the mosquitos ( just reminded me - I need to call to have them spray).    A few house projects- my dad came and hung a new light in the upstairs bath,  I painted dining table and this weekend, want to finish the stairs and upstairs hall.  Fishing fills the weekend for the guys - catch fish, clean fish, clean & maintain equipment.   So grateful for a freezer full of fish and meat.  A few other points that I don't want to forget...

14

Happy Birthday Parker!  14 has been your sports number forever and now you are 14!   This morning you are fishing with your friends, no place you would rather be.  I am so proud of how you have handled the COVID quarantine; you get up every morning to help dad, exercise, hunt or fish.  You spend almost the entire day outside working on your fort or hanging in the barn.  You have enjoyed making dinner; becoming quite good at cooking fish, potatoes, chicken!     You even became entreprenuerial, starting a tackle making business with a friend.   You spend time each day tying lures and packaging them up to sell.   I haven't heard you complain once in 7 weeks; I feel like this downtime has been good for you.  We have a long summer ahead of us and I know there will be days that aren't fun or perfect; but keep up your positive attitude and you will make it thru and before you know it; you will be in High School. I am ...

January is half over

January 2019 is half over and still no snow here is ol' Michigan.  I am actually getting used to it and if we went the whole winter without it, I wouldn't mind really.    We started a new series of lessons at Sunday School yesterday called Snowflakes - discussing their Beauty, Uniqueness, Size.  The children cut out lots of snowflakes using coffee filters and q-tips (thanks Pinterest).  So, though it doesn't look like winter outside the church basement is starting to look like a winter wonderland. Last week was the first week back to school after Christmas break and it was a very busy week and flew by. Most days and weeks do around here.   After school each day there were basketball games and practices,   Baseball and softball practices.     We enjoyed a family day on Saturday watching Reese play in the morning, then we went out for breakfast/ lunch and then watched Parker play at St. Clair County Community College....
