March

I think I will be glad when March gets marched out.  
So much mud.  
So much sickness.....including morning sickness.  
So much tired.
 So much cold.  
  BUT, my bulbs I put in the ground last fall are coming up...some as tall as 3 inches for sure!   
 AND the fevers of last week are slowly going away! 
 AND the boys have a puppy to play with and train again! 
 AND my sister just sent me four dresses freshly sewn. 
 AND my Man has provided me with every convenience in the appliance world. 
 AND he even hung the curtain rods in the living so now we have privacy and we can stop getting cooked when the sun beats in those windows.(although I love that sunshine!) 

  I have this big desire to bake and create in the kitchen. So the thing I want to try right now is a recipe from Mennonite Girls Can Cook, called Paska Buns.  Keagan really wants something good to eat like a doughnut he says.   I wonder if this would compare or satisfy?  

I have three big goals for the next 5  weeks.
  Taxes done,  Boys blankets done, and School done.  
We're going to slam through the rest of the books now as fast as possible and shut it down for the year. 
 I'm hoping to get an early start in August so we can take the month of November off. 
 We're hoping to enjoy our new baby by then.

Off to read that science book with my boys.....

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
