Spring

When Spring comes
It starts peeking at you from behind bushes.
Squirrels start whispering amongst each other, saying
Spring is here.
When Spring comes
A breeze comes
A breeze to sweep you away
to a different world
A world of flowery meadows.
A world of spring.
When Spring comes
Sun shines even brighter
The dullness fades away
When Spring comes
It practically screams, "I'm here!"
right at your face.
When Spring comes,
I'll cherish the moment.
What I want to see the next couple of days is
Squirrels whispering
A breezy wind
A shiny sun
And, at last...
Spring.
When its finally here.

I made this up right on the spot--I figured I'd just make one up...I think its a little corny...

All County Choir and Orff Ensemble

Annabelle had the wonderful opportunity of being in the All County Chorus. She and two other girls from her school joined a bunch of other kids in a concert. They practiced for a couple of months. It is quite an honor. You teacher has to select you. She also played the orff....um I don't know what that is either....but it is some kind of xylaphone that sits on the floor. Thought you would enjoy a couple pics.

Bath time

Amelia was taking a bath and Lilly wanted to get in!

Don't be saying my girls aren't tough. Shelby and Mady are both starting for their Flag football teams. It is an official sport here. We almost took state last year. Shelby plays defense....safety. Madelyn plays reciever and second string quarterback. Mady is on JV and Shelby Varsity. Shelby came home yesturday with some battlescars. She is a one tough chick!

Dear Family

Tonight we had the sweet experience of seeing our missionary son set apart at the hand of our good Stake President. It was a wonderful blessing. We appreciate so much those of you who were able to come to see him Sunday, and know that the rest of you would be there if you could.

We arrive at the MTC tommorrow at 12:00 PM sharp, and look forward to sending him off on a grand adventure. He seems to be ready and anxious to leave, and it clearly is his time to go. We will keep you posted.

Never-Forgetting-Mother

Look what Mom sent me... all the way from Germany! Thank you, Mom, for your ever-awareness and love! Hours before my concert, I was visited by a local (1/2 block away) flower shop. They do some fantastic work! But more, I love the thoughtful of our dear Mom. Sure love you!
