Misc.....

I haven't posted in a while and don't really have time to now but I will anyway.

I figured I would post pics from Easter. We didn't really have a big to-do this year. I didn't bring anything to the dinners. We go to my family and Bills family. Thomas just got out of the hospital and I still wasn't back to normal routine. (still am not). We had a good time seeing all the family though. We went to church, Bills family, my family, home, and then I went to bed. So tired. Rarely do I go to bed when we get home from things, too much to do. The kids seemed to have a great time, and that's what matters the most to me. Egg hunt, and special easter gifts. We got the girls books and new hair ties, and Thomas got snacks :) and Isaiah got a brand-new Bible. He has been asking for one for about 6 months and I figured it would be ok to get him one. And he was so excited to get one. "I get to be like my friends at church. Thank you so much"

I got to plant my first garden with help from my parents, they brought the tiller over for me. I planted everything last week Thurs. I'm a little scared of all the rain we've been having, but I'm sure it will make it. (cross your fingers for me). I think I will truly enjoy gardening. Here's a rundown of what is planted: 2 kinds of lettuce, spinach, red and white onions, jalepenos, green peppers, cilantro, 3 cucumber plants, 6 different tomato plants. I think that is all. At least for now. The kids are pretty excited about it too.

I also went to a ladies meeting 2 weeks ago and had a great time meeting some ladies at my church I didn't know and hearing the speakers. The theme was "Bloom where you are planted" How convenient being as I just planted my first garden and I'm trying to be content with what God has given me and where He is leading in my life. It was a great time. Big thanks to Bill for staying with 4 kids by himself :).

I have been doing ok with Pampered Chef, trying to get it going ;). Thanks Paula for booking a show at Cynthia's party. I'm looking forward to it. And Val I hope you can talk her into it. :) I just hope I can keep a steady income for us. It has been an adjustment for us, but it is good. Good for me to get out and good for Bill to have some time with the kids. :)

The kids are all doing good. Ocassional runny noses. We are soooooo ready for summer. To be able to get up and do what we want in the mornings will be fabulous. School is great and the kids love it, but I think I need the break from constant busyness. Thomas has been fine since the hospital stay, even gained weight!!! Angel will still be in special ed next year, but has made and continues to make great strides! Isaiah will be out of speech for Kindergarten(I'm still not ready for that). And his teachers at preschool are sad to be losing him. :) Great motivations for me to keep working with them all. Emily is still my busy helper constantly checking on everyone and reporting back to me. I love it!!! They all try to help (sometimes making a bigger mess) and make me smile and laugh all the time. My heart is full.

My husband~ I love him more everyday and am so blessed that God let me marry my True SoulMate. Wow!!!! He puts up with a lot from me and am glad that it's him! No one else would at least not with the compassion he shows even when I am lacking compassion. He is my Best Friend. We find new ways to spend time together and LOVE every minute of it!

Breaking plates with Sarah (at a greek restaurant) So much fun!

We went out with friends a few months ago and here is some pics from then too! Write more soon! I'm out.
