Little House on the Prairie

April 2009

For some reason April seemed like a very slow month all though it was full of some great events like Easter, the Atlantic District Ladies Retreat and Hannah's Birthday. Easter at our house was a little different this year. Unfortunately, Rachael and I got very sick and wasn't able to attend the Easter Services. It was the first time we had ever missed church on Easter Weekend. She was extremely disappointed that she wasn't going to be able to wear her new fancy dress. We had gotten all the children a new Easter outfit this year. It had been quite awhile since we bought them some fancy clothes so we went all out. Suits for the boys and gorgeous, satin/lace dresses for the girls. They looked so sweet. Like little prince's and princesses. We also got a brand new niece, Sophia who was born Easter weekend to proud parents, Doug & Nancy! Doug is Hubby's brother and this is his first child. She is adorable.

The Ladies Retreat was by far one of the best I had ever attended. With topics such as Parenting Your Children in the Age of Seduction etc One of the highlights was our dear elderly Sis. Priest singing a special. I had the opportunity to stay with some very special friends, Michelle and Holly. We shared a lot of laughter and were ministered to in such an inspirational way. I am thankful for friends that can encourage and share in special times such as these. It definitely felt like a retreat. I came home with my batteries recharged and loads of advice on parenting children in this day and age.

The following are some pictures of the highlights of April 2009:

Happy 8th Birthday Hannah!!

It is so hard to believe that Hannah turned 8 on April 30th! She has grown into such a social butterfly. She loves to be surrounded by friends and family. She enjoys being outside and anything that involves physical activity. She is such a joy to have around and a precious gift from God.
