Weekly Post and Bloggy Break!

It seems like lately I've been making only 1 post a week. Things have slowed down a bit and I'm so enjoying the wonderful weather. We've been in the yard everyday mowing, hoeing, and the kids have even been doing their school outside on the patio table. I LOVE the spring! It's awfully hard to be in nature and not see God everywhere. He sure did a good job when He created everything, nature itself declares the glory of God!

Oh yea this morning when I was waking the children up I took this quick picture of Hannah, she's 10 but she's still my baby girl. Oh yea and she sleeps with a whole herd of babies.

Today we went back to Slovenia to buy a few groceries and you'll never guess what we found. Okay I'll tell you, BOWLING! Really a real American bowling alley. We went inside and found out it opens tomorrow and we can't wait to take the family. It's 16 € for 1 hour of play. You can rent shoes for a little more than 1 € but the catch is; you have to buy special socks to wear when renting shoes and you can only buy the socks there. Hmm, pretty smart huh?

Oh yea and I took this picture of the kids at church the other day. I sure love these kids. The big boy in the back is mine and the cute white faced little girl in the middle is Hannah, she's mine too. Anyhoo, I just thought I would share them with you, they sure are special!



Hey guess what, Sew Mama Sew is still having her Tutorial Contest
and she has some wonderful tutorials. It's totally worth checking out. Fire up that old Singer and let us see what you can do!


Well I'm so tickled, guess what's about to happen? My best friend is coming to Croatia. I know you've heard me talk about it a lot, well I'm kinda excited. They fly into Budapest, Hungary on Tuesday morning and then we'll bring then back to lovely Croatia. They, Pastor Rasbeary , his wife, and Bro. Petulant will be here for 11 days. So I won't be posting much if any while they're here but I'll be back soon with lots of pictures and stories to tell.

Take care my bloggy friends, and I'll be back in a few!

    Hope you've been having a nice break and enjoying Spring! I had to show you a wall I just painted in my Living Room - and used vinyl lettering! You inspired me! It's on my blog at http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/3rsandahug/523193/
    I didn't do the lettering the same way you did - I "cheated" with stencils. Once I remembered to trace them backwards on the back of the paper, it wasn't too hard. ;-)
