Happy Spring Everyone,

I've missed all of my special friends whom I've met on Homeschool Blogger!

It's been a long Winter for us...We lived in our Garage, all five of us, and as if that wasn't enough, we had our four year old niece living with us too! We worked so very hard, and long, all Winter and then finally on March 14th, we moved into our second floor bedrooms. It was a tremendous reward for working so hard. We were all in need of some very precious privacy and a place to unwind alone! Right now, we are just finishing our Master Bathroom and then we will begin the big job of finishing the main floor. I've been cooking camping style for much too long and I'm really looking forward to having a kitchen again soon.

In my past blogs, I mentioned that I was going to try doing a "Little House on the Prairie" Christmas. It did not happen. Just being a "Little Garage in the Mountains" Christmas was a lot of work in itself! We did fit a Christmas tree into our living space though....a tight squeeze for those two weeks!!

I have maintained our homeschooling through-out this year and even though sometimes on those cold winter weeks I felt like sending them to public school, I persevered and kept pushing on. We are glad to see the snow melting and the sun shining warm now! It does make life a little brighter!

Bless you all!
