We finally read a book that wasn’t by Carolyn Haywood. It was Twig by Elizabeth Orton Jones. Bethany really loved this book about a little girl that lived on the fourth floor of a house in the city. The story was magical and it was enjoyed by everyone that listened.
We are now finishing Betsy and the Circus — another Carolyn Haywood book. This book is not quite as good as some we have read by her, but we are still enjoying it. I think this is one of the newer ones she wrote — written in the early 70’s.
We have a lot going on in the next couple of months — a baby dedication, a daughter graduating from medical school then getting married, a dance recital and on a smaller scale the kids all have to be tested. Hopefully, after all of this we will have a very relaxing and calm summer.
Sophia doesn’t like many things, but she sure likes to sit on the front porch — like her mom.
Joshua has been coming to visit a lot and he is such a cheerful little boy most of the time. He will have his baby dedication in April.
I’m not exactly sure why, but I really like this picture of Reagan getting her hands cleaned off by her daddy after playing in the sandbox at our house.
Finally, I think spring may really be here. We are all so tired of winter and sleet and snow. I can hardly wait for summer and iced coffee on the front porch.
