Spring Break

I just love spring break - especially when it actually feels like spring.  We are getting 50 and 60 degree weather this week!  This never means that winter is over, but the warm temps let us open windows and just bring in a wonderful freshness to the house.  

We are cleaning this week - closets, junk drawers and the garage.  Sigh.  It always feels better after it is done, than while I am anticipating it.  We get the joy of knowing that we shed ourselves of more useless stuff.  How come some stuff seems important enough to keep for so long?  Then, suddenly, it is ready for the trash.  Hmm.  I am certainly in the throwing away mood - which is good. 

Lorien got to spend the night out with a friend from Grandview.  I was glad that they were able to get together.  Lorien is babysitting a boy at the end of the week for three full days (overnight, too!)  She'll be busy.

Kayren is working on her schoolwork because she is set to fly to Grove City at the end of the month to visit Kyrie Jo.  What joys of having a job with few bills to pay!  Traveling is so much fun!

Aleya got to spend the last two nights with her friend Rachel, and she should be coming home this morning.  I am always so encouraged when the kids have formed godly friendships.  

Jathan is thriving!  He loves boot camp - how odd!   He met up with a fellow soldier who is asking questions about the Lord.  This man is now reading through his New Testament, and has started coming to church with Jathan.  

Kesse just finished her spring break with Arne and Debbie (thank you very much guys!)  She called to say that she got there, and called to say that she got back to college - soooo, I am assuming that she must have had a great time, else she would have written more.  

Kyrie is working non-stop to get all her work done (or as much as possible) before Kayren comes so that they can have a good time.  Grove City has been quite challenging, and she is working very hard on her studies.  Please pray for her!

We also are thinking of Grandmama Robinson today as she celebrates her birthday.  Happy Birthday Grandmama!  We love you!

Tom took the week off, but is working the night shift dispatching.  He is helping me on my projects :)!   He is also going to presbytery at the end of the week, so we just get Mon, Tues and Wed together.
