Sunday

Should I mention the elephant in the room (four months since my last post) (!!!), or just carry on as if no time has passed?

Carry on it is!

Here are some happenings since the end of January:

1) We added concrete pavers to either side of our driveway in order to widen it.

2) Sydney, Lorelei, and Ford finished basketball season (they played through the YMCA).

3) The kids and I visited Crystal River, FL with friends.

4) Ruthie turned 6-years old on March 6th.

5) Sydney, Lorelei, and Ford received a promotion in Jiu Jitsu.

6) Sydney and Lorelei both passed a difficult oral exam for school.

7) Sydney and Lorelei wrote and presented final papers for their afternoon language arts class.

8) The kids and I finished the school year with our homeschool group at the end of April.

9) To celebrate #7, the kids and I visited Legoland with many of our homeschool friends (also at the end of April).

10) Sydney, Lorelei, and Ford participated (virtually) in their (Mississippi) piano teacher’s spring recital.

11) Sydney visited her friend Lucy in Mississippi for a week.
