We have one more week of our "Christmas in July" celebration. Greg will have to hook up our VCR so we can watch more of our videos. Everything got unhooked when we rearranged the living room and I don't know where the VCR wires are..they are here somewhere. And its only 150 days till Christmas.
But, its also one week till school starts. Where has the summer gone? We've got all the school books, notebooks, paper, pencils, and new crayons! We are starting school a week earlier than our county but thats ok. In Oct. when they are slogging away at the books, we will be a Disney. Thats worth it to me! The kids are ready to start. Their co-op classes start at the end of the month, so we have a few weeks to get ready for that scheduling. This year Amy will be in the 8th grade, Will in the 9th grade and Katie in the 12th grade. All of my babies are growing up so fast.

Easter
Easter Sunday was so special. We had yummy cinnamon rolls and orange rolls for breakfast...the birthday girl got up and cooked for us. After breakfast we went to church with Mom. I got to see some "gals" that I grew up with and hadn't seen for years.
Then home to Mom's for Easter lunch with family. Yummy ham, potato salad, green beans, deviled eggs, pineapple casserole & rolls. That Sister Schubert can really cook and freeze some bread...she has contributed to many of our holiday dinners.
Next was the huge Easter Egg hunt. Our hunters this year were Will, Amy, Ben, Bethany, and Bobby. The hiders were me, Greg, Katie, Brenda, and Billy. It takes about 15 minutes for 5 kids to find over 200 eggs. Moms lawn service will find the eggs that the kids left behind. Katie decorated her air cast with lollipops for the kids to "find". It looked like a lollipop tree at the fair.
We had a great day, ate way too much food and candy.
But, all the food, family time and fun is not the real reason for the day.
I am so thankful and grateful to the Lord Jesus Christ for his sacrifice for us. Because of his love for us, we can have eternal life with him.
