Man, I can't believe I haven't updated since 2009. LOL Things have been busy around here--of course.

Emma is growing like a weed. Yesterday she weighed in at 13.8 pounds when we took her to be spayed. We are supposed to keep her quiet for 7-10 days. I looked at the tech and said, "she's part border collie!" and the tech just laughed. RIGHT! I stayed up with Emma last night and it was a rough one. She is feeling much better today though and I see that our "stay quiet" is already turning into a challenge. Scout was on puppy duty most of the day and especially while I caught a nap.

Scout has taken up snowboarding--and loves it. He attended the Youth Retreat last weekend and had a blast. Some of our homeschool friends from church go skiing/snowboarding locally every other Tuesday. He loves that time with friends too.

Easter is fast approaching, and I've taken on the job of a "Family Easter Experience" at church. Yep, I am certifiable! We are creating an Easter Walk of Jesus' life and adding in the "egg hunt" through our own version of Resurrection Eggs. I need to come up with a name for the dozen eggs; each family will get an empty carton when they arrive and fill the eggs in as they do the different activities. Then each kid will get a goodie bag filled with candy and -- goodies.

So between the upcoming events and the schooling, scouting, 4-H & dance we are doing, life is pretty busy--but I wouldn't change a thing!
