Random happenings

- Sean is reading now- I mean really reading. He has finished all of the homework books for the year and now is starting their AR reading program. When Sean sets his mind on doing something, he is a very determined little boy. He put his mind to learning how to read, and he has soared! We are very proud of him!

- Ethan has learned to tie his shoes. I don't know if this is a little late for that, but we finally made him learn. He does a good job. It's just another thing he can do that shows how much he is growing up!

- I'm glad Spring is almost here! Goodbye winter- I've had enough of you! The weather stations have done their outlook for severe weather this spring. They are saying it is looking to be a very active spring season with lots of tornadoes and severe weather. Bring it on! I love stormy weather and I'm ready for some good thunderstorms!

- The little girl I babysit turned 1 yesterday. I've been watching her since she was 8 weeks old. Crazy how time flies!

- It's hard to see family members hurting and/or making bad choices. I'm praying for some family members right now.

- I took Kaitlyn to buy a new dress for her birthday last Saturday. We were in Target and we had to stop and have a talk about modesty. She wanted a dress with spaghetti straps that cut low on the chest. I told her no and then talked to her about keeping her special parts covered and not wearing things that are too tight. Crazy that I have to talk to my 4 yr. old about this, but she has jumped to girls clothing (not toddler anymore). The girls clothing can be questionable to me: the shorts are crazy short or tight, shirts cut low, dresses designed to be tight, etc. I don't want her to get in the habit now of wearing things that are not modest. God calls us to be modest and the earlier she gets this the better. So she picked out a super cute polka dot dress that she wore with some brown boots. I can so get on a soap box about this. Modesty is not just for little girls or teenagers but for adults as well. You can dress pretty and still be modest. Anyway that's all I say for now on that one! :-)

- I absolutely love my family and I am so thankful for them! And I'm thankful that God has given me a great church family to be a part of too!
