Monday April 24

It rained much of the day today.

It was very beautiful....but made it hard to get the yard work done that I wanted to!

I actually took a nap after taking the kiddos to school.

I was so beyond exhausted!

Cassi had a rough night going to sleep again and Port found his way down and woke me up and I had a hard time getting back to sleep :(

I am hoping for a better night tonight!

Dad got some stuff done with those pesky dump truck tires!

He also went to the store for me to get a few things we needed :)

Just before Madi got home from school, I had about a half hour where it had stopped raining and I could go outside and get a little bit of pruning done!

Yay!

Then I went and got the little ones, and it started raining again.

But I won't complain about the rain......

I was just telling Brent that we needed to get some water over to the Lilacs, because I really want them to do well this year.

But this morning I said, maybe we don't need to :)

I am excited for them to bloom.

I am starting to smell a little bit of sweet fragrance....and it makes me so happy!

For FHE we talked about the challenge we are officially starting this week :)

We also talked about making our home a refuge....and anchor in the storm.

A place to love and be loved.

That is something we need desperately right now.

I am not sure what is going on, but there is so much fighting, anger and just plain meanness!!!

It breaks my mama heart.

I am hoping for a better week ahead!
