Spring break!

Good thing we don't rely on nice weather for Spring.  So far we haven't found it.  However last year it was too warm.  I complain the farmers are never happy with the weather, but us wives aren't much better :)  Anyway, Spring break here was great.  They girls kept busy with sleep overs, friends and grandma's.  We had planned to take them to Fair Oaks Farm and the Indianapolis children's museum.  However Steve was busy with work.  So for him to get away for 2 days was not going to work.  The ladies and I decided we could handle it.  It's never as much fun without dad (I don't have all the fun facts dad does) but we survived.



 I love this picture, Ash has perfect form :)

 My children attempting to be serious for a "posed" picture.  Ash is the only one that can handle this.


From Fair Oaks, we went to a hotel for a night.  I already blogged about that.  A cool realization of how far we have come in 4 years.  I love how God just places these reminders in our path. 
At the hotel we swam, sat in the hot tub, and ate. 
The next morning we were off to the Children's museum.  If you like Children's museums, this one is huge.  It seems I have farm girls on my hands.  They were amazed by the size of the museum and the amount of people.  Other than that, they wanted to go back to the farm.  (they found out the farm is getting a pig area this summer and other expansions next year, so they can't wait to go back). 
All in all, it was a great Spring Break.  I had so much fun with my girls.  Even though they fight and get on each others nerves ,and mine sometimes :)  I still am sad when break is done.  But only 30+ more days and we are on Summer vacation. 
Brooke is doing well.  She is gaining weight and a friend saw her yesterday and said, "she looks good."  She really does!  She's getting a little fat on her again and eating like a champ. She's playing with Macy and sleeps on a normal schedule.  She has no symptoms (currently) of any illness' or virus'.  She is going out again and living her life.  Next week she has a clinic appointment and they will draw her platelets as well as all her immune studies to see where her immune system is.  We have no expectations for this.  We assume everything is status quo.  We are content with the road God is leading us down. 
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!Philippians 4:3-5
