Garage Sale





WE DID IT! We hit our goal of $1000. Now that we have our emergency fund, we can start paying down our debt. We had a great time, and feel so blessed to have been able to do this.

Easter

The Family photo.
Our church sponsered a community outreach called Easter Eggstravaganza and Aidan had fun on the big bouncey slide.

Doing crafts with Mama.

Loving opening the eggs. We still hide eggs on a daily basis.
Aidan was sick for most of Easter, so we took things a little slow. On Easter day we had church all morning, then at night we went to our Financial Peace class at our pastors house. No one in the class wanted to miss a week for Easter, so we kept the class going. Just shows you how into this class everybody is. We had a great Easter despite the sickness, and enjoyed spending the day with good friends.

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed---and gazed---but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
William Wordsworth
