Spring has sprung!

So I just posted a lot of pictures... Hope you enjoy them. The year is certainly flying by. Madelyn graduated from preschool. She made some good friends there. One little girl and her family go to our church, and we are hoping to get another little girl and her family coming to church. She is SO excited to be going to kindergarten this fall. Adriauna is doing so well with her letters and she's recognizing each one more and more. Brooklynn's speech is growing more by the day and we can understand most of it. Annabelle is now rolling! She started just Tuesday and rolled over probably 10 times yesterday. The other girls think it's fun to try to help her. I'm afraid they might get a little too carried away. We've all been enjoying being outside. The girls ride their bikes, play with bubbles and sometimes we just go sit on the porch and read books. Derek has been busy around the outside of the house. We took out (yes, I helped - haha) all the mulch around the front of the house, took out most of the plants/flowers and put in new bushes/plants/flowers and added field rocks. We've gotten them all from friends/people from church for FREE and it looks so nice. Still have one more load, I think, and we'll have it all done out front. Derek put in a garden in the back and he's been "weed and feed"-ing the yard. It looks really nice! It got rid of all the dandelions and other things. The yard is nice and green! Grandpa Clark will be proud! :) Getting ready to put a cement patio out back - that's going to be so nice! The church people have really been so nice and gracious. They help out so much! He really loves being the pastor at our church. He's so good at what he does. God has blessed him! I signed up again to sell Usborne books, although I haven't really had much time to do so. Hopefully, (fingers crossed) I'll be able to visit some of the libraries and schools this summer and get my name and the name of the books out there. I also am starting a mom (and kid) group on Thursday mornings at the church. Starting in the summer to hopefully get more moms out there. I wanted to start some kind of Bible Study, so maybe this will be the catalyst for that. I don't want anyone to feel left out, even though I know the moms who work won't be able to join. I keep myself busy with housework, playing with the girls, and taking pictures of the girls. Derek is amazing and helps so much with the house. And he lets me get out so I can blog, work on Shutterfly... and just be by myself. All in all things are great! Kids are healthy, church is growing and life is good! About the church growing, here is a nice picture... Before we came to Dighton the nursery only had 1 child - now there could be up to 7 on a given Sunday!! And the preschool/Kindergarten Sunday School class had one child... now there could be up to 11 children in there!! God is moving and working in the lives of these people and the younger families here. Enjoy your day! -Christin
