Springtime Ramblings

We are two and half weeks away from finishing up our official school year and I am a bit shocked at where the last months have gone.  Much of late winter and early spring have been spent settling Dad into a new home due to his Alzheimer's diagnosis. These have been hard and heavy days but hopefully he feels the love of his family as we walk with him on a new journey. 

Then we were in a whirl of choir concerts, play rehearsals, and garden planting.  We expanded our garden, harvested our first crop of medicinal herbs and continued on our kitchen project! We also had another Around the World in 90 Dinners  supper with our friends. The kids dressed up in Argentinian clothing and we had a fun menu of Chimichurri Churrasco, side dishes and dolce du leché.  As we finish our lap books on the Spanish Armada, The Hobbit and Oceans and prepare for a performance of Othello and The Prodigal Son, Homeschool Orchestra concerts and recitals we're thankful that spring has finally sprung and the world is laced with beauty once again. There are a lot of events that have happened and I have no pictures of them because Mama was too busy.  But these are a few snapshots of fun moments that I did manage to snag.
