Fickle. That's what it is. One day it's 60 degrees, the next, 45 and raining. I'm beginning to feel a bit schizophrenic!
The brood is busy - as usual. Track is in full swing, and on a sunny day there's nothing like sitting in the stands watching the kids race. Splendid. The surface of the track is so nice and squishy - it makes me want to sneak in and join them. Yeah, I know, I'd get left behind out of the blocks - but still - one can dream - eh?!
Two weeks til the dance recital. Whew! India's been sewing full time - making over 800 costumes as well as props. Crazy. But I can't wait to see the performances. In one of India's tap classes, a girl's family moved and so there was a missing dancer. Wouldn't be so bad, but part of the dance they have partners and it would have looked a bit silly with one person without a partner - and it just so happened to be Ezra's partner. So, call in the recruits. Judah (who is being bribed heavily) was taught the dance in a couple weeks and so he's going to be in the recital! How fun is that?! I am so excited. I LOVE watching the dances. 3 performances and 2 dress rehearsals and every night is packed. It's quite the production I have to say.
Hey - it's the prairie - we take whatever cultural event we can get!
Boy - there are a lot of disasters lately - wouldn't you say? We have the worst flooding in history here, and it's happening all around us too. Farmland is swamped, homes are flooded, roads are blocked. And then the tornadoes, the wild fires - and that's just the US. You then have all the earthquakes and tsunamis all over the world - kind of seems like God's a little ticked off. Maybe we need a little revival in the land . . .
Sad news - a dear friend who's son just got married less than 1 year ago go into a car accident and his young wife did not survive. The son was in critical condition but has been steadily improving - which is an absolute miracle. Please pray for Cole as he tries to heal both his body and his spirit. We are so sad for his loss, yet we rejoice in his recovery. God is sovereign . . .
Happier news - Cinco de Mayo is upon us! Don your sombreros, break out the beans and rice and throw yourselves a fiesta! Even though we have beans and rice nearly every other day it seems - it's still a great excuse for a party! Ole' amigos!!
