This Week

This week brought an end to soccer season. I'm sad to see it go. Seth's team only lost one game this year. He's such a hard and determined worker, it's a delight to watch his athleticism on the field. We were truly blessed by wonderful weather to watch every game, but the very next day after soccer was done?
 The rain came to water our thirsty yard. We are happy that our volunteer pumpkin plant produced so many pumpkins! Almost one for every kid, although some will have to be happy with green ones. 

This week also brought orthodontic appointments (Seth got top braces and Abby got her arch wire adjusted), drama practices (Megan was cast as Meg in Little Women), AWANA, and a birthday party for Sarah to attend.

Do we sound busy? 
Yes, and totally blessed.

Spring has Sprung

Spring is here!
Yay(!) and groan.....
Why yay?
Beacause of beautiful flowers:


Our magnolia tree,

tulips (some of my favorite flowers),
forsythia,
and snowdrops.
So many pretty flowers to enjoy!

So why groan?
Take a look at our garden:
Do you see the height of that grass??
So sad! My arbor fell down this winter during a windstorm, leaving my climbing roses unsupported!
The end fell off one of our raised beds,
and this is what the corn bed currently looks like. Weeds everywhere!

Lots of work to do! Today though? I think I'll go back to enjoying the flowers! :)
