Still here . . .

We have been taking advantage of the wonderful weather every chance we get. We haven't forgotten about you. The kids are very excited about Grandma Maxine's visit next week. I will make sure we post pictures of her visit. We are baking bread weekly and treats for Dad and his office mates. (Grandma Wilson had a recipe for honey-wheat bread and I don't have the recipe. If anyone out there has it please email it to me.) The kids love wheat bread with honey and butter. More good news, we've finally picked a curriculum for the kids' home schooling. We are going to use a book called The Well Trained Mind, which is based on a classic cirriculum. Please pick up a copy from your library and tell us what you think. We are very excited. The kids are also enjoying thier Brainquest flashcards and lots of art time and lots and lots of outdoor time.

We are getting things ready for little sister's birthday and she is starting to get very excited about it. I can't believe she will be 2 this month! Yikes, where did the time go. Big brother is learning his letters and is really wanting to learn to read. We are still heading out to the library 2 or 3 times a week to restock our books and dvds. The park is right across the road from the library so it makes for an easy, fun outing for the kids -- and they take good naps for me! The kids are also very excited about going to the farmer's market on saturdays, the produce is cheaper and much better. And I'm happy for them to pick the vegetables that they want to eat this week. We are looking forward to spingtime and the herb and flower seedlings that will be at the farmer's market.

Hopefully I will have time to break out the sewing machine this weekend and get some stitching done! I have aprons at the top of the list for this weekend. Those I will definitly post pictures of.
