Cherry Blossom Time

It's the middle of March and that means its Cherry Blossom Time where we live. The blossoms are late this year, with only a few here and there. But in a few days, maybe a week, our city will be blanketed with pink! We went to the Cherry Blossom Festival today and had a wonderful day. The weather was perfect and most of the activities were free. We had cherry ice cream, a horse and carriage ride and watched Bengal tigers perform. Samuel was exhausted, but enjoyed his ice cream immensely.


2 more days until Spring and then the next day Ellie will turn 8! I am astounded at how fast time flies. It doesn't seem possible that it was 8 years ago that the doctor placed that new baby on my stomach and I looked in wonder at this new life God had given us. Ellie was a delightful baby- she was very quiet and very unique and we all enjoyed her. We still do! She is a princess and enjoys dressing up and looking nice, but she is not above getting filthy! She loves a good romp in the mud!

She is also a good help with Samuel and will make a great mother one day.
