Whoops.  A whole month got away from me again, didn’t it?

April was a wonderfully full, fun, whirlwind type of month.  Emma and Amania kept us busy with their soccer schedules, and the unpredictable Kansas weather gave us rain outs (and snow days) that offered much-needed reprieve (even though we are all still so done with cold weather, yet it just keeps coming).  We finally processed the paperwork for Amania’s name change (now it is actually, legally spelled the way we’ve always spelled it).  We celebrated Easter.  We forgot the frock.  We had out of town guests for a weekend and I slept through my alarm for a half marathon that I trained for.  We had the girls’ spring choir concert and art show at the beginning of the month.  We finished the school year (almost- one week of outside classes remain for the oldest, so we’re not “official” yet).  And I was blessed to travel to Haiti for a week (more on that next week).

And now we settle in for summer.  I’m soooo looking forward to some organizing and creative projects around the house, pool days, dining al fresco, and time to just relax.  For now, some photos from the past month….

new friends

 new shoes for a race I didn’t run

way too much money spent at Starbucks in an effort to just.keep.moving

calendars for each girl to inspire us all to finish the school year strong (and quickly)

we are all adopted

a pile of human puppies as we attended another soccer game

and spring flowers that survived the interminable winter

Next week will hopefully bring stories from Haiti and the next few months will hopefully bring many posts that have been on my heart but not yet ready to share.  Until then, have a wonderful weekend, friends.  May you know your God and enjoy Him.

For His Glory ~
