This has been such a cold April.  My Instagram is filled with snow pictures from all over the country.  It hasn’t snowed here but its been cold!

She had a Moana party a few days ago.  See aforementioned paragraph.  It was cold.  And Moana isn’t warmly clothed.  And she is barefoot! (it was in a park with a cool waterfall for pictures though!)

Leading kid’s church.  This August it has been 3 years since she started doing this!  It is my favorite of all the ‘stages’ she’s ever been on.

Walking around downtown.

Happy Easter!

Serving at our soup kitchen.  She’s been doing this since she was 15.

Dorothy was always “hers”. Her favorite . It was the one she watched over and over ad nauseam. I thought I would lose my mind if I had to hear those munchkins sing one more time.

She was 2 and knew it word for word. I taught her how to rewind the VHS to replay it. She honestly watched it for months and months over and over . Up until she was about 4 it’s almost all she watched.

Tuesday she was Dorothy for the library and I’m not gonna lie. It made me a little sad. I can still see her sitting on her little red rocking chair watching it and singing every song. And getting up to skip down the yellow brick road. And tiptoeing through the forest with Dorothy. And clicking her heels together 3 times.

Time is such a funny thing. It goes by slowly until it doesn’t.

Reading at the library.

She still crochets almost every night.  But she decided to try making a bunting with felt.  I love how it turned out.

So April is marching by.  It seems like I write an awfully lot about how quickly time goes by.  Because it does.

Hug your babies, play with your kids.  Because you will blink and they will be a senior!

Homeschooling rocks!
