April 4

It's Spring Break week for the kiddos so it was a blessedly quiet day: the boys played video games and catch and the bickering was mostly kept to a minimum, and the girl went to a friend's house. 

And it was an equally relaxed Monday for me. After a morning of Bible study and an afternoon of crocheting, I made my way up to the deck to watch the clouds roll in over the hills.

It's an amazing view and I'm thankful that it's ours; that I can run (or to be more accurate, huff and puff) up the steps and watch the perfect majesty that is the sun sinking into the horizon whenever I want (weather permitting, of course).
