Outside My Window...it is sunny and fair.  I can be outside without needing a jacket.  Little riverlets run across the driveway as snow continues to melt in the meadow across the road. 

I am thinking...of when or whether we will ever get to move into the new house.  I think the Lord is saying that He wants to bless us with that house, but I'm afraid now that I just want Him to be saying it to us.  I pray the Lord would make it very clear to everyone if He wants us there.

I am thankful for... spring!  The garden is out from under the 6-7 feet of snow that was piled on it most of the winter.  The days are mild and we can get outdoors more. 

From the kitchen... tomorrow is 2dd8's birthday party.  She will be nine on Wednesday.  We will have friends over for pizza bites (her choice) and strawberry shortcake (also her choice).

I am wearing... Jeans and a light-blue t-shirt with feet walking across and Isaiah 52:7 on the front.

I am creating.... a warm home and haven for my loving husband and 4 children.

I am going... to Mexico in less than 2 weeks.  Right now I'm the only medical provider, but if we get another plane tomorrow, we should have another doctor and another nonphysician helper for the medical side.  We will have two days of clinics in an orphanage in Baja. 

I am reading...a Janette Oke book called The Drums of Change for my own bedtime reading and a Laura Ingalls Wilder book called These Happy Golden Years - many nights I have a hard time putting it down.

I am hoping...To be able to purchase another van soon.

I am hearing...My dh in the kitchen blowing his nose .

Around the house...my children are in bed sleeping, the main rooms have been cleaned, and the supper dishes are clean in the dish drainer beside the sink.

One of my favorite things... being with my children and reading together.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week....Finish the newsletter and get it sent off soon!  Maybe move into the new house!  Continue homeschooling in the mornings.  Find a new van! 

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
