Good Evening!

Well, tomorrow is Easter and it has been another busy week. I can't believe how fast week's go sometimes. Greg and Ellen came down for Easter weekend and we have been enjoying them and the boys very much. It is nice to have some family that lives close enough that they can come down for holidays. Well, I will post pictures of Easter tomorrow or Monday. The kids are excited about Easter baskets and and had fun coloring Easter eggs. Most of all, I hope we get across to them how special Easter is for us because of Jesus and His Dying on the cross. That is Easter is all about new life. Jesus said He was come that we might have new life and have it ABUNDANTLY! So Spring and Easter go hand in hand and I hope the significance is not lost as we look at flowers pushing up out of the ground, brown grass begin to turn green and new leaves to form.--and think, "Once my life waslike a dreary wilderness, with the shadows all around me day by day, then I sought the Lord for help in my distress, Jesus spoke in love and shadows fled away. Jesus made my life in to a garden fair, and He dwells within my heart and gives me peace..." Jesus takes dead dry gardens all the time and turns them into things of beauty and richness. Yes, God is soooo good. He's so good to me. Trust you all are ready for Spring. Hope you all have a wonderful night and a great Easter morning. Trisha

Let the Sun Shine!!

The weather is finally starting to warm up and I am soooo enjoying it. We have had 50's and low 60's and it has been WONDERFUL. We are now dying for Spring and have spring fever like crazy! It has been a long winter. Trust everyone is enjoying the wonderful spring weather. And if you live in the South, I guess it feels like spring most of the time--atleast until summer:)--so you can't fully appreciate the feeling of ice dripping off the roofs and snow running in little rivulets down the driveway and seeing that you have a yard again under all that snow! It's an amazing time! The air is alive with birds singing, everything is starting to perk up and take notice. Spring is in the air!!!

Still Winter Here!

Lindsay's school books have arrived! How fun and exciting!!!

Good Evening everyone! It will be March 1 tomorrow but you wouldn't really know it here. The snow and ice are still on the ground, the temperature is going down to 16* tonight and we had snow again twice this week. It has been pretty crazy but funny. I don't really mind but I am ready for Spring. Tomorrow it is supposed to be in the mid to upper 30;s and Sunday up to 49*! It will be amazing! But on Monday, it is supposed to get cold again. Our weather is unpredictable, but I can feel spring is coming. THe promise of spring is here, even if Spring, itself, is not.

Lindsay started school this week. She is so excited. I'll post a picture of her. SHe is growing so fast and looks so cute. She is doing very well and wants to do more than I do. I am enjoying it, though.

More snow!!

Hello again! Just had to drop you a note to tell you it is snowing again! Will it ever end? Of course it will, but maybe not until May.:) It is prettier than cold with out snow so I won't complain.

We took the kids ice skating yesterday and they had a blast. We stayed out for 3 hours and they were exhausted when we left. No one complained when we went to bed early. I thought I would be sore since it has been about 10 years since I iceskated, but it wasn't too bad. Yesterday I felt horrible but by the time I got up this morning , I was feeling great/ I must not be as old as my kids think:)!!!

Well, it's time to get ready for church so I better run. TRISHA

Good Night!

We have been having fairly good weather and decently warm for February. It has snowed lots and we are enjoying it. It has been in the 30's and low 40's. But this afternoon, the wind kicked up and the temp started dropping. It didn't stop until we reached 0*. It is supposed to go all the way down to -5*. With wind chill, it will feel like-27* tonight. And not much better tomorrow. It will be Only 5*. With it still feeling like -20*. I don't know where all that global warming went but it sure isn't helping us much. :) What a traitor. Letting a girl down when she needs it most, In February, of course!!:) AHHH Such is life. :) Well it is late and I really need to head to the bed. See you later. TRISHA
