Happy Spring!

What in the world, you ask???? Actually, this picture TOTALLY represents a "God-thing" as we had been praying to find a used swing set for our kids. I kid you not, 5 minutes after I had told Bryan that I just didn't feel right buying a new swing set, I checked my email and a friend was wanting to get a new one for their kids. YEAH! So -- I "bribed" my family members with ice cream dessert and 5 of us carried, yes carried the swing set onto Dad's truck. I would have taken a picture of that process, but I think I would have been disowned by my siblings who were carrying their part. Hope you have recovered, dad!


It was fun to get out the airplane swing that we hadn't used since we packed everything in PA!


. . . then the neighbor kids spotted it!


OK, this picture was posted to provide comic relief for my younger siblings who UNMERCIFULLY razz us about our "ancient" TV. Last week, the on/off button became inoperable (permanently) so Bryan resorted to taking the thing apart. Very fascinating, actually. We were afraid that the end was near . . .but wouldn't you know, Bryan was able to jerry-rig it! The "un-cabled, ancient TV" lives on!


Last week, one of the secretaries in the office gave Joshua a chocolate Easter Bunny that he was VERY proud of! On our way home from church, he fell asleep -- but not without holding his chocolate bunny. BTW, he woke up enough at home to mumble that he wanted his bunny during his nap. You made his week, Carol!

What a great gift in the swingset! I know the kids are going to get lots of use out of that. God is good, and it will be a reminder to you whenever you see it that God answers prayer.

I can only imagine what moving it would've been like...
