My newest fencer...

He got his gear tonight!   

There is a huge smile peeking out from inside that mask. 

Finally, Spring!

The first of many spring concerts for us this month.  Daniel's first time to sing in a choir!

Michael is earning money by helping weed the garden beds.  Not sure what our gardens will look like this year, but at least they won't be weed beds!

Last Saturday, JP took the boys to see Mummenschanz while Tera and I had a girl's night in.  It was a great relaxing time after a long week and the ACT test that morning. 

Although it did snow here this week, I think spring has finally arrived to stay.

 I'm planning on adding in a few field trips to help us finish strong this school year.  It's been a rigorous one! 

Spring...

Spring has arrived in our corner of the world, which means waiting at extra rehearsals for upcoming concerts with this long-legged boy.  It means dinner on-the-run twice a week.  I've been making our own "bento boxes" in reusable restaurant to-go containers. 

It means a GMG (Good Morning Girls) Bible study on the book of 2 Samuel.

Spring means nature studies and weeding garden beds.

It means lots of Lego creation.

Spring means TWO children taking the ACT tomorrow.  Finishing up early some subjects and wishing others would be over already.  Spring means warmer weather, more sunshine, more allergies and more read alouds.  Spring means that summer vacation is only a few weeks away.  And we are more than ready for that!
