It’s soooo hard to believe that Thaddeus is already one! His first year went by way to fast! You’ll note he’s the only kid so far who is privileged enough to have a balloon!
It’s just as hard to believe that Miss. Daphne is already three ………..
Gretchen and Duel’s birthdays have gone and past… Gretchens was 2 weeks ago and Duels was 9 days ago.
(sigh) Between pregnancy tiredness and a few other things going on during that time things just didn’t work out well.
Poor kids… their birthdays were rather bare and rushed this year.
We didn’t even do balloons.
We ALWAYS do balloons at least.
Don’t worry….we’ll make up for it next year!
Extra balloons even!
Aside from not having rain in such a long time ( apparently we’re near drought conditions ) , the rain is sooooo wonderful because of this:
That is not fog…. it’s SMOKE. Smoke from a fire that started 32 days ago.

The 200 acre fire is now reported to be 280 acres.
This smoke has been awful… at any given time of the day our air quality goes down to nil because the fire is still smouldering and flaring up.
The scariest factor is that it had actually reached onto our neighbors property when it started! They took the girls to go see it afterschool yesterday and it’s STILL on fire!
We knew that it was close… but not THAT close.
We’re expecting some packages within the next week and Gretchen and Duel are so excited!
Why are they excited? Is it toys? Candy? Anything for them at all?
No. They want the boxes!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how much fun the kids get out of things that aren’t toys!
It tickles me to no end that they, Gretchen especially, is eagerly anticipating the arrival of boxes of all things!
(She’s hoping that there’s at least one BIG one!)
In time for Easter or as a nice supplement for Bible studies!
This is a lovely and well put together set of short videos about the life of Jesus.
While it is from the LDS church (we are definitely NOT LDS) it is based off of the KJV of the Bible.
It’s pretty much word for word without any sweeping conjunctions from producers ~ my biggest pet peeve when it comes to Bible based movies!
