Spring Is In The Air

Lately our household has been fairly busy with a lot of things. School ALWAYS keeps us busy, piano class and practice for us four oldest, and this weekend our grandma who lives out of town is staying with us. In fact, two of our uncles are here and we are going to have a ham dinner together.

Another thing that has been going on has been some kind of flu bug or something that has been hitting a lot of people. First Daddy got hit and then it made the rounds with most of us kids. It seems like it has taken quite a while for us to get over it but we are thankful that we have!

Spring is almost here, our weather has been warming up, for which we are all grateful! Our Magnolia tree has started to bloom (we'll post pictures of that when they open up - they are SO pretty!) and robins have been circulating through our area. For me, when I see robins, that's a sure sign that spring is coming soon. I think I can speak for my siblings when I say that we are all glad that spring is finally here!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Yesterday was our Daddy's birthday! Happy birthday, Daddy! We love you so very much and hope you like your presents :)

Lots of love and bunches of hugs and kisses,

H, J, C, S, L, V, and S

In Memory

We are sorry that there haven't been any new posts but this past month we have been very busy. I have been visiting my out-of-town grandparents and they have been visiting us. Of course we have also been busy with school but the most difficult thing of all is that our lovable puppy dog, Toby has died. On Monday, February 25th, our Toby was hit by a car and immediately died. The day that we got Toby was on August 25th and just the other day I realized that we had had him for exactly 6 months. For me, those 6 months were the best of my life. We all loved him very much and miss him very much. We are thankful that God brings us comfort even in the midst of heartbreaking circumstances.
