Holy Week

The Orthodox Easter - which is called Pascha, has started. We go to church every day or night now, mourning the death of Jesus, and celebrating his resurrection.

The kids and I are all baptized now, but we definitely have varying opinions on everything! I will let you know some of our ideas about Jesus, and the whole church thing, this week.

Starting tomorrow.

Power Thursday

Whoa, your eyelashes look weird

That's what I said to my middle girl this morning. After several minutes of examination and discussion, it turns out she was helping daddy bbq last night and singed her eyelashes. Nice way to wake up!

Jenna's Tuesday Friend day photo:

Walter loves you - when you stop bouncing, lol.

Wednesday's Joie de Vivre:

Can you love life anymore than this?!

Stay well, Jenna!

Late as always

I'm always late. Probably because I try to do too much in one day. And because it seems like I should be able to do something in 'this' amount of time, when really it takes me 'that' amount of time because I move slower!

After many, many late nights, the basement is done, the daycare is inspected, and I am officially a licensed in-home daycare. Yay!! Now I can do something else!

Jenna had her birthday last week, she is 15 now. Here are the photos I missed . . .

The lost week

Oh, this week has passed in a blur.

I am trying to piece the basement back together so that I can have the kids back in it by Monday. One week late.

I am soooooo tired, all the time. I will have a doctor's appointment soon to begin following the clues - is it the medication, the heart glich, the wheat intolerance, the CMT, or something else?

Trying to figure out how to help the big girl with her learning issues is exhausting. So many different people to talk to, so many different opinions, so many different ways to go about it. And if I chose the wrong one, then it is me who has wasted money we don't have and years of her life.

But, ever the optimist - next week will be wonderful. Spring has sprung, and life is fun. I will get outside to enjoy it.

Jenna's pictures:

Sunday - inspirational quote day (changed from prayer day)

Monday - sick day. He looks like you feel!

Tuesday - friend day. We love how you love your friends.

Wednesday - Joie de vivre. Time to jump in the puddles.

Thursday - You've got the power day. (changed from talent day)

Friday - today, finally. Fun day. That's Jenna on the left, bouncing through life as the rest of us slog through the daily grind.
