Busy days!

Things are busy already and spring has only just begun. We are working on finishing our school year by the end of May! I can't wait to be done this year. I think that winter has been way to long and I am ready for spring. I can't wait to work on my flowers and finish planting the grass. I am ready for summer camping trips and visiting with family and friends. Nick's softball season offically began last night and our volleyball season should be starting in a couple of weeks as well. The girls have been begging to have a bonfire so hopefully that will be just around the corner as well.

We have been grilling alot and the kids are on the trampoline all the time.

Rebecca started speech a couple of months ago and she has been doing great. We have notice lots of improvements but I know that it will still be a while before we are done with that:)

Not only does Charlotte have glasses but now Anne and Rebecca do as well! We thought that since Charlotte's eyes were so bad that we had better just check the others and sure enough they need them as well. They are all far-sighted and hopefully Anne and Rebecca's will be corrective but only time will tell.

It is offically spring at the farm. Nick is working lots and lots of hours lately. I know that last week was only 4 1/2 days and he still had like 62 hours in. Thankfully he is still home everyday for lunch and usually he comes home for supper if its going to be really late. It is a blessing to have him so close and even thought the hours are long sometimes the kids still see Daddy everyday(which was not the case with previous jobs).

I have been on a sewing kick! I have made library bags for all the girls and matching dresses as well. I have about 15 more yards to cut and sew. The kids love them and I have lots of fun making them. My living room in turn has turned into a sewing room but thats ok.

Charlotte makes her First Communion on Sunday! She is so excited and she's my first so I am so excited for her. Her wonderful and talented Aunt Angela made her dress and it is beautiful! I will be posting pictures soon!

The girls are also excited that we are going to see High School Musical the play at the Paramount on Friday night with their cousins. I am excited to, a little long over due girls night out! It will just be me, Charlotte and Anne!

There is so much more but I will be saving it for next time!
God bless,
Amanda

Thanks! She is so excited. That is all she talks about:) I can sew but I don't have the patients for the dress Angela made for her, it turned out awesome! Anyways, thank you very much for the prayers:)

Congrats for your first communicant! It's a big moment for the whole family, I'm sure. Our first will be next year. She can't wait either.

Sewing kicks really get me in trouble. I by yards of inexpensive fabric ($1-5/yd), even if I have no plan for it just yet. So now that my sewing table is cleared and organized, and I wouldn't mind working on a few, BUT my pile of scrapbooks to be completed is more demanding. Agh! It never ends.

(Would you believe I have around 30 albums to put together! I only have about 5+ sewing projects that will have to wait.)

I know what you mean about buying fabric:)
