Thought I'd drop in and say Hi! Unfortunately there are no pictures today because my mom took my camera somewhere last night and I haven't gotten it back yet.

I have been rather out of commission for the past week because I got my wisdom teeth removed, which is never fun. You can take my word for it.

The three other kids are at soccer practice right now getting ready for the state soccer tournement. They're all really excited. I'm going to be taking the SAT that weekend, so I don't get to go. But that's okay. This Saturday is going to be our first weekend in a LONG time with no soccer games, so we are taking off on a canoe trip in the morning. I'll see if my camera's up for the trip. Pictures later!

Good morning!

We've been incredibly busy this weekend with eight soccer games, taking shifts at the concession stand, and Katie playing the piano for a wedding for the first time. We were all very excited for Katie, but unfortunately none of us got to see her play because we were all still at soccer games. She said that it went well, though.
After such a long day, all of the parents were thrilled to hear that our games today had been cancelled due to flooded fields. =)
That evening we all came home and crashed and then watched Gunsmoke with Daddy. Mama watched too, but only because she had had us watch Gone With the Wind the week before. Today we can all enjoy a restful Sunday and go to church together.
We're looking forward to Grandmama and Grandpapa coming tomorrow!

Spring!

This is my sheep, with her first lamb, Nutmeg.

Blueberry blossoms.

These are Daddy's melon plants. =)

We have lots of lilacs here, but these are probably my favorites.

Hmmm, I can't remember if I posted pictures of the fig tree or not, but this was Daddy's newest idea this winter. They're only two tiny sprouts now.

We've been working on a side shed for our corn crib to keep the four-wheeler and wheel barrows.

And the finished product!
