2014: Week in Review {Week 12}

Here I sit on this March Monday, watching the snow fall once again outside the window. And I could complain because we are all more than tired of the cold, but today I choose to give thanks. This snow has taken a manic Monday and turned it into a mellow one. One that was much needed.

Last week was characterized by dragging ourselves through another week of school. This week is half days of testing/half days off, a full day off, and a day of fine arts in KC. This is what we count as our spring break (snow and all) and we’re all so happy for the change of pace.

We had the privilege of hosting Amania’s friend Shela for her spring break week. She did lots and lots and lots of hair braiding. 🙂 She was also a wonderful blessing in many other ways, including cooking a real Haitian dinner for all of Matt’s family (approximately 30 people) on Wednesday night. She did it all with grace and a smile.

We also had round one of MAACS competition on Friday in Kansas City. Emma and Chandler performed with the choir. Grace competed in art, with her acrylic taking first place.

Amania celebrated her first birthday with us on Friday. It was an exciting time for all of us and for the first time in about a month (or two), I haven’t heard how many days until her birthday since then. 🙂
