Excel class is getting ready for their final project of drawing the world by memory! Mrs. Goodsell had them trace and make a beautiful one using whatever medium they would like this week. 
Clairana has been practicing during lunch with Mrs. Doty for an Easter performance. 
Science was making fossils.
Pledge with little Walter - we have an odd number of children so I put him in the rotation and he loved it.
Little Britches is an autobiographical account of Ralph Moody's early life in the vicinity of Littleton, Colorado. One valued lesson passed on by Moody is the importance of water rights and the profound challenges these can have in a community.
Clairana - she was doing really well. If you can see the donkey is on the backdoor. 
They were shouting them out faster than I could write! 
I took off for the weekend with Alyssa and Millie to a Circe Conference in Ohio. It was lovely.
Full of lots of things to learn and ways to grow. Heavy talks. Great food.
We picked up a wire on the interstate and once we arrived at the hotel, we discovered it. 
Life has been a little crazy these past two weeks but we are getting settled.
We worked many hours on a proposal for West Lafayette construction and Levi won the bid! After sitting at the computer for days and trying to be as fancy as the big wig companies it was so rewarding. We were at the highest point of excitement knowing this could be the big jumping off point for BE. Levi was awarded the job a week later in front of the city board. They let him know he had saved the city over 300k and were thrilled to have Levi. Even offered him a job just with the city. Which was so kind but he is ready to work for himself.
Then we started being harassed, bullied and threatened daily…all day really by two large firms. Levi has since put in his resignation at TBird which turned into being fired a day later….so much drama of jealousy. Which hopefully we look back at this and say it was the best push.
Thankfully with help from a few last minute people we are getting organized and ready for a new start.
Of course the day afterwards, I am sitting in Indianapolis with everyone at the dental office while Levi scrambles to get everything ready to go.
Hopefully, by this time next month we will just be excited and celebrating again. And praying hard we don’t have to pay any attorney fees.
Coraline and I were invited to a FANCY birthday party.
We have been planning this for months because the reservations are crazy!
Little Lydia turned 8 and wanted to go to The Cake Bake Shop in Indianapolis for dinner.
Coraline and I decided that for Lydia's birthday gift we would buy matching dresses for the other two little girls that were going. It was a big surprise and they loved all matching. I may have said a white lie and told people they were triplets which they thought was the absolute best.
It was SO fancy and such a fun night FULL of GLITTER.
Glitter on the food
Glitter in the tea with edible flowers
Glitter on your head
Make A Wish.
They came around and told this sweet story of fairies and how they leave fairy dust and the girls got to make a wish. 
Then after their wish they took the glitter and clapped their hands over their head. 
More fairy dust!

This man has a birthday now in between two girls and Halloween and our anniversary - who would have thought that October would have gotten ...
