Spring of 15

 Spring of 2015 has been wonderful and hard, a mix of bitter and sweet.  Paw Paw has been sick, and he is the hospital today.    He is such a major part of our lives, our family, our hearts.... 
We know we need to treasure each day with him.  

Little Karis looks for him everyday, and she loves her PAWPAW so much. 


Besides sharing life with PawPaw and Grandma, we keep busy around here.
This spring...
  • We finished up Clark's 2nd grade and Joel's kindergarten year of homeschooling.
  •   We are raised frogs from tadpoles found in our yard.  
  • We started remodeling our kitchen.  
  • We planted a garden. 
  • I made a boot holder for our back porch.
  •  I refinished our cabinets and table top. 
  •  We kept a fresh bouquet of wild flowers picked from the backyard. 
  •  I made a picture collage for the living room. 
  •  I painted a buffet, and I am in the works of making a butcher block counter top for it.  
  • We hunted and trapped a killer raccoon that was getting our chickens.  
  • Clark and Joel finished another season of soccer with Lee University!  
  • Our three boy rabbits turned out to be one male and two females who had babies on the same day.  So now we are raising lots of baby rabbits. 



 Here's the before and after of the kitchen island.  The counter top still has to be made.
Joel graduated from kindergarten, and he had a great little graduation ceremony thanks to BCHE.
