Spring - I think!!

Yes, it has been beautiful and we are enjoying warm weather and all the other benefits of Spring!! Travis is working on the lawn mower so he can start mowing lawn this week. He has also started playing baseball so that requires some practicing. Angela had her first competition in gymnastics last week. She received a 3rd place medal in vault and received a medal and flowers for being the "most dedicated". She really likes gymnastics and she is always going around the house or outside doing her routines!! They only have 1 competition in middle school. Next year will be more and sounds like she wants to keep up with it. I am once again enjoying leisurely mornings before going to work. Jesus has taken over my job milking cows so I no longer have to go out. It is great!! Dan is busy getting ready for the field work to begin. He and Jesus have become good friends!!! You do remember that Jesus is the Mexican!! Michael is kind of stressing with the last 3 weeks of school but he will make it. He graduates May 17 with an associates degree in diesel mechanics. He and 2 other boys are then going to Puerta Vallarta for a week before entering the real work world. He has had a very busy year with school and work. He and his friends are busy getting the house at the other farm ready to live in. He is anxious for that next step in his life. He thinks he shouldn't be 20 years old and living at home with mom and dad!! Doesn't bother me - but.... I won't report on Danelle since she has her own blog.

Snow, Rain, Cold - BRRRRR

Thought you might like to know that, yes, we have had snow again!!! Tuesday night we got 2 inches and it stayed on the ground for a day. In fact, the snowplow even went by on our road the next morning. Today is very windy, rainy and cold. Hopefully this is one final "cold" before Spring!!

We did have 2 very good days of Special Meetings and the privilege of worker company and visits. We heard so much about our relationship with God. No relationship ever stays the same. Either it will be fed and increase or it will starve and die. We are doing one or the other in our relationship with God. Definately makes one look at our own relationship with God.

We started a new Mexican hired man tonight. He seems like such a nice man so am hoping it all works out. He speaks some English and understands more than he can speak. So, I taught kids all day and now had to teach "Mexican" tonight!! Oh, his name is Jesus. So, we now have Jesus on our farm!!
