Marlys to the Rescue

Joe and I were having trouble figuring out his math assignment. His school was on spring break so we couldn't contact his teachers. So if Joe's school was on spring break you might be wondering why Joe was doing school work. Well, let's just say he made some choices earlier in the month that resulted in his forfeiting his spring break. Anyway, my niece just so happens to LOVE math. She came over after school and helped Joe with his math. She said they are working on the same stuff in her math class right now. I don't understand why a 7th grader would be doing what an 11th grader is doing. So, it was Marlys to the rescue and no more math troubles ... until our next assignment.

Technical Difficulties ...

First my camera was having a little problem. Finally figured that out. Then, my internet service was suspended! Felt like I had been naughty and had my internet privileges taken away. What happened was the card I use for billing each month expired. Even though I received a new one and activated it immediately, my ISP didn't get their payment. They don't like that. Everything is A-OK now and my camera and internet are up and working.

Monday

Easter was nice. Saturday after work the boys and I went to church to help set up for Easter breakfast. Saturday night we had dinner with my brother and his family. Since I had to work Easter Sunday, the boys' dad took them to church. They had to help serve Easter Breakfast at 7:30.
It's a fundraiser for bible campers. Then Joe had to acolyte at the 10:00 service. It was his first time. He said he liked it. Stinks when I have to work. I miss out on all these things.

Even though we're still getting flurries I can finally tell spring is on the way. Robins are in the trees. Day light is longer.

World Down Syndrome Day

We Celebrate This Day in Honor of Our Friends

Ruby Z & Amanda M

3-21 is the chosen date, because people with Down Syndrome have 3 of the 21st chromosome! The Down Syndrome Creed
My face may be different but my feelings are the same. I laugh and I cry and take pride in my gains. I was sent here among you to teach you to love, as God in the heavens looks down from above. To Him, I'm no different His love knows no bounds; It's those here among you in the cities and towns, that judge me by standards that man has imparted, but this family I've chosen, will help me get started. For I'm one of the children so special and few, that came here to learn the same lessons as you. That love is acceptance, it must come from the heart; we all have the same purpose, though not the same start. The Lord gave me life to live and embrace, and I'll do it as you do, but at my own pace.
