April updates

This week Mara told her classmates she was having a dance party at her house.  Much to my surprise parents started calling me to ask what they should bring, was it a birthday party, what time was the party, etc.  Well, I guess the party is on!  Yesterday we had five kids here for the party.  They all had lots of fun, but only danced for about 5 minutes.  We played outside on the swings and sandbox, played songs and sang with the keyboard and microphone.  We even wrestled on Mara's bed.  But Mara definitely has to ASK before planning her next party!

Spring weather is beautiful here.  This week it is in the low 70s but the ground is still pretty wet and mushy.  I started mowing grass and we have all been working on the garden.  Now our next big house project will be putting up steps to the back of the house and a new walkway.  Also this summer I want to paint the first floor of the house.  The peeling paint walls just dont do it for me!

Brynn is anxious for school to be over.  It is getting harder to get her up in the morning.  In school, she was invited to join an accelerated reading group.  It is called CAP communication arts plus.  She seems to like it alot, especially getting out of regular classes to go.  Her health hasnt changed much.  we have dropped her medicine down a half dose for evening but she is still moody, still anxious, still my little Brynn.  We will see the doctor in June and see what this round of bloodwork tells us...

Tim is finally back to normal hours at work.  They made their deadline and we see himm at night again.  Things seem to be going good, but there is a long way to go too.
