Random Thoughts

I haven't blogged in a while. We have been busy, busy. I'll try to catch up quickly! We traveled with Brad to conferences 2 weekends back to back. The first conference was near Williamsburg, VA (check out my facebook pictures) and the girls were both sick (virus) that first night! They felt better by Saturday when Brad was done at his conference and we were ready to explore Colonial Williamsburg! We had such a good time!! What a blessing that God has allowed me to homeschool so that Olivia studied Colonial Times the week before we went! And....that we were able to see Williamsburg for FREE!!! We were home for 2 days, took Olivia to the ENT, scheduled a tonsillectomy and started packing for Myrtle Beach! Just as I was doubting our decision regarding the surgery, Olivia woke up with strep AGAIN! So....we postponed leaving for MB for a few hours until her antibiotic could kick in. Olivia, Caroline and I ALL had the most horrible stomach virus while we were at the beach!!!! OH MY!!!!!!!!! And, in the midst of all of our travels, we are delivering Girl Scout Cookies! Anyway, we are glad to be home now and so ready for SPRING!




Speaking of Spring - Olivia was SO excited yesterday because I let her wear a short sleeve shirt and flip flops! That girl talked about Spring ALL day!!! Isn't it great how such a thing as small a short sleeves made her day??? :)




And speaking of home - Caroline LOVES home! Every time we turn onto our road, she says "Home Sweet Home"! What a sweet sound!!!




Today, Caroline wore her green to school and took a green snack to share with her tiends (friends). Olivia is doing her workbooks (and whining a little) and poor Brad is in bed with the horrible stomach virus.




For me, today: in spite of stomach bugs, strep throat and tonsillectomy's, Girl Scout cookies and long sleeves, I will rejoice!
