1) Progress! With the medical struggles in our family this last year it's a great thing to finally see some progress. We still have a long way to go but progress of any kind is quite welcome.
2) Spring Break! Yes, homeschoolers take spring break too. Well, we do anyway. Except that we are taking two weeks off instead of one. That wasn't the plan but with so many things going on and trips to the Children's Hospital each week it has been necessary.
This spring break we were able to take a trip with a few other homeschool families to visit the Al Kaly Mule Team here in town. The kids enjoyed the trip and we all learned quite a bit.
Along with spending two days our friends, the kids have had quite a bit of time with friends this week. (Thank you public school spring break) Having good friends with kids nearby is such a blessing for us all.
4) New Adventures! Because I don't have enough to keep myself busy, (ha ha) I have decided to start up our homeschool play group again. I let it go two years ago because I didn't have time to plan and keep up another project. But now, since I have so much free time, I am getting the group up and running again.
We had our first play date this week and it turned out great. We just met at a nearby park and let the kids play for a few hours. The kids had a great time and the mom's enjoyed the time outside talking.
5) Cute Visitors! We had a little visitor this week. A very cute one! A neighbor has a bad habit of not keeping track of this cute little girl. We have found and returned her a few times, but I have thoughts about keeping her if the family doesn't keep track of her better!
The kids begged to keep her!
They all had a blast with the little puppy for the time that we had her. They even named her, Missy.
The cat wasn't so sure he liked the little puppy. Though, I'm sure he knew he was big enough to eat the little dog if she got out of hand.
6) Blessings for Friends! A dear friend has been going through a very difficult time the last 8 months and finally it looks as though things are finally turning around. These major life changes are beginning to fall into the right places for her and her kiddos. God has taken good care of them.

Sounds like you've had a nice break- and lots more fun to come!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely keep that little pup if she keeps wandering over. She's way too little to be out loose like that without her owners noticing. That's just my take, anyway. :)
