April showers bring May flowers......


Greetings from a soggy Grand Rapids! We received lots of rain this weekend which was great, because we got some thunder and lightning with it, but bad because everything is just saturated! I love the spring! It's, to me, a metaphor of God in me...changing and growing new life. Turning over the soil to cultivate new growth.

Heath touched his first worm, and wasn't crazy about it...mid way to my compost pile, where we were putting them, he freaked out and dropped it! Ahhh, Heath. I'm growing a garden this year....so I've been growing quite a compost pile. Yuck! I'll keep you posted on the garden.

Also, I'm thinking very seriously about starting my own all-service dog care, from home. Walking, feeding, poop-scooping....I'll keep you posted on that as well.

That's all for now. Thanks for checking in on my little family. Love you all!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter, all! He is Risen...He is risen indeed! Hope you're well and celebrating our Savior's resurrection! We stayed at home for the Easter weekend. Colored Easter eggs, went to church, and played outside. It was quiet and uneventful. Which was nice. Here are some pictures.















We also got a basketball hoop for the boys for Easter...Nana and Papa also helped with the cost. Thank you to them! Also, Jack moved up a size in bikes, so Heath got Jack's "big boy" bike, which he was pretty excited about, and Jack got a new bike! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma!

Happy Birthday, Emma

Today is day 7 of Spring Break. My parents came down for a few days and the boys and I enjoyed it very much! We watched the Final Four tournament and rode bikes and played cards and also played the Wii!
Also, today is Emma's birthday. Happy birthday, Nonnie! Wish we could be there to help celebrate! We are thinking about you today.

For you who have been waiting for another performance from Heath....here it is ...it is taking a little more coaxing these days to get him to perform. This footage was taken in his bedroom alone, and only after he was promised cookies if he would sing. Ugh, what a diva huh? ; )



We hope you're all well. We love to have company....come visit us. We are thankful for our family and friends who love and support us. I also want to take this time to remember out Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who sacraficed His life so that I could have eternal life with Him, even though I've done nothing to deserve it.
