It would be an understatement to say that we have been busy. With school, church, and just STUFF we have been going non-stop!
For Easter this year, my parents invited us over to there house. We usually have the get-togethers at our house because I have the biggest house and it's just easier for the kids to be in their own home. It was SOOO nice to not be the hostess for this holiday! What a treat! All I had to bring was dessert! Thanks so much Mom, Dad and Lindsay for a restful Easter. It was a good day!
Last month, my mom, sister, Kristina and I went down to my grandparents in Arroyo Grande to do some packing/get rid of stuff for their move up this way. The weekend started with our van not starting (thankfully it happened in our driveway) so we had to take our monster truck. We could SO CLEARLY see the Lord's hand in the entire weekend! The Lord answered prayer and really blessed our time. Because we took the truck, we were able to take ALL of their books (and we literally took about 25-30 boxes/bags of books) to a bookstore in Newark and got a little bit of money for them from the sale of the books. The weekend was a blessing and it was good to be able to spend some more time with my grandparents in their home.
We are venturing once again, to start a garden. Unfortunately, this year, we mixed up the dirt, but forgot to pack it down. So....when we watered the troughs, the water went under the earth and caused MUSH!! Almost like quick sand! Notice Abby's feet? Yes...it was as bad as it looks. It seems like it is better now though....hopefully :):)
We are growing corn, roma, grape, and beef steak tomatoes, yellow crook-neck squash and cucumbers. Unfortunately, as I write this, the cucumbers haven't made it. We have such awful dirt. I might have to buy a planter and baby them a little. We eat a lot of cucumbers so I really want to grow them.
Here are my "being babied" grape tomatoes:):) Sure hope they do good. We might have to pray this garden to harvest like last years garden.
More updates to come......
