poor April

one lonely little post for the month of April

i really wasn't even going to post..but..

to be honest, i felt the past two days just like

closing my blog down

no real reason

not sure how far that thought will go

i'll give a notice if i decide to do that

i'm 50/50 right now

anyways, April wasn't bad.

it wasn't all good either.

we had a birthday, Ella's 7th birthday

we had some birthday parties.

rich has had some really Early work days which

makes him TIRED

wd is teething...poor thing....

buddy is into mousetraps.

he can even set them by himself.

and his parents don't even worry.

ella lost two teeth this past week.

her front two top teeth..

so cute.

i have been working on a gazillion different things at once,

all related to homeschooling and my children.

curriculum/books i've chose have started

to trickle in.

so that helps me not be so focused on finding what i want.

to use.

last year i did the same thing. while i prepared for our

first homeschooling year.

IMMERSED myself in looking online.

i kinda gave myself some headaches doing that lately.

i have fun, it's like another hobby...

if i really NEED another hobby. don't have time to do the ones i like

to do!! LOL!

some behavior issues were quite difficult this month.

but we got through them.  

had only a couple of friend times this month.

we only have 15 more days of school left.

that's just THREE weeks and we'll be done with

our first year of homeschool!

buddy is picking up reading really well.

so proud of him.

tomorrow is Ella's first piano recital!

something that was a blessing-  our church is using a photograph

that I took of Ella, out in the field by our house, last year,

which coincidentally belongs to the church....the picture

is being used  on the screen during this current sermon series, for about a month, and

i saw it up there last week and this week during the worship time!

it's a blessing to see God use what I love to do this way.

to be honest, it's a struggle for me to push my photography.

i don't do it often at all.

it's not my forte.

i pray for more opportunities, even if just for a ministry.

hoping to have Confidence that HE will provide as little or as much as I need.

not only in photography, but in everything.

i am a VERY busy mother who wants to do better by her children and husband.

i'm contemplating stopping some things, all computer wise...but it's a prayerful decision.

time to get some rest for a photoshoot tomorrow..and piano recital.  

blessings....
