April Update!!!

So what has been happening this month??  that is the question...

Ron is as busy as always with work.  Plus he has been working on several projects here at home and on the camper.

My test results came back negative so now I am just working at building my immunity to get rid of whatever in my body is causing the lymph nodes to swell.

Abigail went to 3 orthodontic visits and we were informed for sure she needs appliance put in her mouth to stop the thumb sucking while she sleeps. She starts treatment 5/9. Abigail is still dancing and this is the end of her 6th year~~she loves it. Abigail is still taking piano lessons and will have recital 5/21/11. She is also playing special music at church during worship time.

Brandon is doing amazing at spring soccer.  He is becoming a real leader for his spring team. Brandon is a Webelos scout now and is undecided if he will continue into Boyscouts. He is finishing up piano and will be stopping lessons as of 5/21/11.  He has been taking guitar lessons since the beginning of march and loves it. Brandon is taking an active part at church as an accolide and playing special music.

Unfortunately due to the recent storm outbreak we got some minor damage that once the weather clears and dries up a bit we will have to address.  But Praise the Lord nothing major.

I have been busy with all the kids, finish up the little kids homeschool, painted our master bedroom(love it), moved a bookshelf, painted a wall in the family room, have been purging material clutter from the house, been organizing anything and everything to get the house down to very easy maintenance, set a menu plan for most of the summer, been couponing and stockpiling, studying dietary changes, teaching Sunday school at church, and part of our church's praise & worship team.  I have been gradually as time and weather allows working on my flower, herb, fruit gardens and anxious to get my veggie garden ready and planted.  Most of my current flower and herb gardens are weeded and ready for fresh mulch.  I have planted a blackberry plant :) and praying for my grape vines to grow:) I also want to put in a few more gardens and have some ideas in my head :)

My next projects will be to finish the gardens and get them all planted, build my custom cabinets for storage in the family room, build custom closet for abigails room, get my part of the garage clean and organized, and i am sure there is more but we will see.
