March Sun-shine and School-time

What a busy week this has been! 99.9% of the work at Church has been completed, with the exception of my office and it's only about 19.9% complete! lol I've just learned today, that my Office will be moving, for a third time. I'll begin work (again) on this NEW move before Sunday, but I'm taking a day or two this week, for a little much needed family time.
Since Greg has been laid off, Aly and I have not kept up with her 'schooling', because having fun with Daddy has taken front and center. We're not complaining ONE bit, either!!! I just decided that this morning was the day to bring School back into our daily schedule. We use Flashcards, DVD's, and Books to learn about letters, animals, shapes, etc. We practice holding pencils, pens and crayons, while having lots of fun and making quite a mess in the process, at times! Aly loves 'School', even though her attention span isn't quite up-to-par just yet... HOWEVER, it has moved from about -5 minutes to about 25+ minutes now! What a smart little doll-baby we have on our hands!!! Here is a handful of snapshots we captured this morning...

We had a pleasant surprise this past Sunday, Aunt Gayle and Don from Ohio, came to visit us and we had a ball together! Our only complaint was that the few hours with them went entirely TOO fast!!! We're hoping they'll make this little road trip again REAL soon! Maybe we'll have more time together next time!
WOW! Aly and I were treated to a YUMMY Brunch this morning... thanks, Daddy! We loved the Scrambled Eggs, Saugage, Ham, Buckwheat Pancakes, etc., it was all just PERFECT!
Greg, Aly and I must have spread ourselves a bit thin last week, with all the paint, dust, etc. I'd say all three of us have had our allergies pretty messed up and at this point, we're all feeling it with runny noses and sore throats! I must add the fact that this beautiful March sunshine is doing it's job in helping us (almost) forget these nasty allergies and colds, though!

Thank the dear Lord for the awesome creation of SPRING!!! We trust all of our Blogging "Palz" are doing well and enjoying life, also! Take care, all...
