Katie doing her 'thing' in "Comedy of Errors". Her afterschool Drama club has already started working on their next production to be performed sometime in late June or early July.

Katie, dressed as her character Luce, greets Daddy and Daniel following the play.

A beautiful day at the beach. We were all alone! 

Hanging out with Dad on some burnt out driftwood. 

Daniel races along the beach. 

Spring???

Did I say it looked like Spring? Okay..maybe Spring in Wisconsin. Today we woke up to about 1/2 inch of snow on the ground..with more expected tonight. It's just crazy! There are definitely some snow clouds milling around outside our windows. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to cancel school for tomorrow. They are not equipped to handle snow of any amount here..and pretty much refuse to put down anything on the roads..might harm the fish somewhere down the line ya know. LOL!

March!!

Beautiful March! The robins have returned. That is a sure sign that spring must be around the corner!! I can hardly wait to start working in the garden. The weather is warming up and I am really enjoying my runs! The kids are doing great. They have managed to stay healthly all winter. It seems we were really spared from sickness recently. Thank you Lord! Katie is getting involved with an afterschool drama club. They will be an independent drama 'touring' group. She also has a new babysitting job every Sunday evening at the church.

Mark is wearing a new hat these days at work. One of a salesman. He is such a gift of eloquence in speech and is really easy to get along with. The business has unfortunately been a little too slow and he has put some new things in place to try to increase it's profitability. We could sure use prayer support in this arena. We are praying that God would bless our efforts and desire to keep the business going. Mark is not at all excited about the prospect of returning to the corporate world and moving every two years.
