... has come and is almost gone...time just flies by too fast!! My days just seem to go quickly when my morning is consumed by being the teacher to six kids and then my afternoon is full of cleaning, baking, cooking, and the many other things I find to do. In the afternoon the kids usually play outside for several hours and we have had some beautiful sunny days that are so inviting for outdoor play. Right now the snow machine has been the big attraction as the boys pull all the younger kids around in the sled behind the snow machine, and occasionally Ann Marie joins them and gets quite the thrill of a ride!! Steve has been busy in the afternoons clearing more of the dead trees off of our property, which he says gives him lots of exercise and gives the kids something to do by hauling logs to our log pile. We will have plenty of wood for our Sunday evening picnics this summer!! While Steve is clearing all the trees we are also seeing more and more of our emerging view...the mountains across the inlet are so beautiful jutting above the treetops!
As life continues on a somewhat normal schedule, our friends Joe and Jennifer Germain are packing and going through boxes to get ready for their big move to the Philippines. Jenn will be going to a midwifery school in Davao while Joe homeschools and takes care of their seven children. They will be leaving May 2 and I get to go with them to help with the move! I will get to stay with them for a little over a week in Davao, then I will go back to Manila and spend a few days with my uncle Randy and aunt Marla before I fly home May 15. (I haven't been back to the Philippines in 16 years!) We are excited for where God is leading Joe and Jenn and what He has prepared for them, but we are also sad to see our friends go. The time we have shared over the last two years has been amazing and only God could have orchestrated! We are all looking forward to what God has next for us!
