Easter Sunday

Happy Easter to all! We will be going to Yvonne's for dinner and dad & Joans for an Easter egg hunt later. The girls were so excited after dying eggs last night. I love spending time with family, I wish I could see ALL of my family (hint to those of you in Ohio, West Virginia and Peru!!)! I will try to add some pics on here later if I get home in time to download the camera. The girls have started Spring Break, wish I had too!

Saturday

The girls just dyed Easter eggs. Tomorrow we will be enjoying the day with family. My great brother in law came and helped Mark get part of the roof stuff on the carport we are building (It was very helpful, Mark does not like heights without much support)! Now Mark is mowing while I blog, I mean while I do laundry! The weather has been beautiful and I hope it stays that way!

Yesterday was a beautiful day and we are expecting great weather again today! My wonderful brother in law came to help Mark with our carport building, (THANK YOU!!). The afternoon wasn't what we expected and we have some dear friends that need all the thoughts and prayers that can be sent their way.

A lot went on yesterday with some very dear friends, it was a tough afternoon. When you think you can't handle anything more, know that God will not give you more than you can handle (even when it seems like you are at a breaking point). Know that there are friends that will listen for as long as you need and know there are people there that love you, even when you don't think anyone does. Know that when people make threats, they need your help and threats aren't always empty. If I am your friend, know that I don't care who else is or isn't, how rich or how poor you are, what you have or don't have. I am your friend because I care about YOU directly.

Well Hi all! I typed a long "blog" the other day and then had a server error so it didn't post. This week has been different but in a nice way. Mark has been on the early shift all week due to training, so yesterday, he picked up the kiddos and I went home and started dinner. Usually I have to do both, so a nice little break. Tomorrow is supposed to be near 80 and I just can't wait! It is hard to beleive another month has already passed this year, but that means summer is getting closer! I can't wait for days to get home and let the girls go swimming. They just love that!

Well I typed a really long post this morning and when I tried to post it, there was a server error. So I am going to re-test

Monday

Well, looks like Ashley will be signing up to play an instrument tonight, she is so excited. If she doesn't sign up for 6th grade, then she can not play in the future. I sure hope she does not need help from her parents! I think I will take the girls to Dairy Queen tonight with their report cards to allow them to claim their hamburger and fries for their grades!

Starting the blog again!

Ok guys - I thought about how fun it would be to blog on a regular basis and years from now, look back and see what actually happened in our lives, the funny things that we forget! I started it a while back but then only posted once. Let's give it a try again!

Ashley is in the 5th grade and Emily in 2nd. Next week is Spring Break and the kiddos are really looking forward to it. I am wishing I would have appreciated Spring and Summer breaks more when I was in school, because you sure don't get the time off once you are in a work environment!
