Simple Pleasures!

It was a gorgeous weekend! Sunshine and 60's...we saw our first signs of spring on a walk this afternoon. A neighbor has crocus plants blooming. Kate asked for watermelon and corn on the cob....it just felt that wonderful. Of course we have to wait on the cookout with our favorite summer foods but it was nice to have them requested in anticipation of it arriving. Lauren had five friends visit all afternoon (three of them were boys...YIKES!) Makenna also had a friend over for the afternoon. So it was really great to have them outside!We had two little guests yesterday and will have them again tomorrow. Sarah is 4 and Miley is 18 months. Their little brother Matthew has been hospitalized again for growth issues. That poor family needs lifted in prayer! Anyway, we've enjoyed having the girls. They just fit in around here where we always seem to have extra places set at our table. I love having a house full of kids. I was teased at church and called Michelle Duggar. I wish I were as laid back as that special mom of 19! After such a long and cold winter, being outside breathing fresh air and planning the spring yard work felt refreshing.
