Spring has most certainly come!! The weather is lovely, and everyone wants to be outside (you know they really want to be outside when they offer to clean out the chicken coop!!!) :) playing or working.
The garden is starting to require more attention. We are really picky about what weeds we allow to grow in there!!! :) Sometimes it looks more like a wild weed garden then a vegetable garden!!! Noah has worked really hard to get the seeds in the little hot-bed and now they are big and ready for transplanting. The only problem is, we're not quite sure what to do with 100 cabbage sprouts and 100 broccoli sprouts and so on!! :) Yesterday Noah harvested the first of 3, 5-gallon buckets full of spinach!! Yummy!! Even though we all like spinach, that is a lot!!!
Esther is getting anxious to start her flower garden in the flower beds in front of the house. She is starting a collection of different seeds to start soon. Last year she had terrific results and if this year is anything like last year, we will be able to enjoy the beautiful colors all summer long!! :)

Dad and Mom took a little 3-day weekend away last week. They attended the Mid-West Home-school conference in Kansas City. They had two days for the meetings and a extra one to pray and think over what they had heard. Seth and Esther did a great job holding down the fort at home while they were gone. Dad and Mom really enjoyed the conference and had a wonderful time.

The computer is hopefully going to be repaired sometime in the next 3 weeks, so Lord-willing, we can maybe start up regular posts again sometime soon!!!
Have a Blessed Day!!!
