Yes...

It is here and not a day to soon. The weather is warm enough today for me to go barefoot in my house without freezing my toes! Lets all do the spring dance! How nice it is to be able to feel the floor on your feet. For so many months you wear socks (maybe a couple of layers) and slippers or in door shoes. But that first day where it is warm enough it is a wonderful feeling to feel the floor beneath your feet! Who knew I would have so much to say about being barefoot for the first time :)
As I look outside I see no snow in our yard, my fingers are itching to start clearing gardens and cleaning up the yard. I can not wait.
The kids only have 6 weeks left of school, yikes! With all the school they have missed the teachers have no way of catching up, but they are doing the best they can. We have been dealing with a few school issues lately. Our oldest son brought home his first "F." Needless to say life as he knew it ended and he has been hitting the books a little harder. This is his last year of elementary and he needs to start being more responsible and organized....anyone know of a good way to teach a child to be organized? We have a huge decision concerning our daughter. Unfortunately the teachers do not think she is where she needs to be to be successful in second grade. Our options are to have her repeat first grade or find a really good tutor for the summer. I'm leaving this decision in Gods hands, He'll let me know what to do..
It is hard to get the kids to study now because all they want to do is go out and play...I really can not blame them, we had a rough winter and a lot of spring has not been that good.
Well it is that time, homework, supper, baths, so I had best go and get everyone on track. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Holiday.
Please keep praying for Stellan http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ he has been in the NICU for 4 weeks now. Go to their website to hear their story. You can just see and hear God working in their lives through this time of difficulty. They have also set up a fund for this family which can also be found at this website.
