Pictures

Our visit to the zoo was a total success.  The animals were much more active and there were not nearly so many people as usual.  This was our first building.  The aquarium .  The penguins were amazing....swimming and jumping.

The gorilla complex was a hit....literally.  The one gorilla would come up and smack the window and scare the kids. 


These bubbles everywhere were so much fun! 

Sweet Livvy.....She was very patient with my terrorizer! 

for mom.....this keeps me humble....

In the Jungle.  Was so nice to have them spend two days!  I think we could have a pretty  nice time if the rest of you would brave it some time! 

All the kids except Zerrick.  Keagan, Mathias, Myles, Gwen, Olivia, and Mima......
They left this morning at 6.  Last night after we got home from the zoo we had coffee and April packed and we tucked the kids in.  The house is TRASHED and we slept in till 9 this morning.  What a good vacation we had!  And April and I stayed up till 1am one night ....paid for it the next day too.  It's no small feat to keep April awake till 1 am to talk.....She's not a night owl.  But she didn't know what time it was......:)  
     So now we get back to the normal grind of life.  Today it's going to get up to 65*!  The birds are singing.  The geese are flying over in huge flocks.  Spring is here!  Now we will plant grass and get rid of this mud.  
     Hopefully Gabe will post his pictures of our zoo day....he had his good camera along and I saw him snapping some good ones.....

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....
