Happy St. Patty's Day girls!
I just wanted to remind you all that this is the week before Easter. Have you read/Do you have the Easter book made by Lynne's sister? It's fantastic with loads of ideas for each day starting with Palm Sunday. We haven't gotten started but I'm tossing the school books mostly out the window this week so we can really focus on Easter week. After our green lucky charm breakfast we're going to read about Palm SUnday and make palm branches, go on a walk and find Easter items and make a wall to appreciate family memebers. Then tonight for FHE we'll focus on the cleansing of the Temple and activities that go along with that. I'm going to try and take pictures and put them on my blog!
It's a great opportunity for your first housewarming party D'Arcy, you could have a Sedar on Thursday night! I am working to kindle sentiments of 'I Stand all Amazed at the Love Jesus Offers Me'. It's my next step. I feel that having Charity for others starts with our passion for the Christ and His sacrifice. That is my focus this week before Easter. Maybe in doing this, my children will also grow in their love for their Savior.
Happy EASTER!!!(week)

Memory of the Moment
So...a bit of the first Sunday like pause there, I'll go ahead and share a Christmas memory. PLEASE feel free to replace mine anytime...
I loved the Christmas markets! I drive often on one particular road here in town where one business is building these tiny little cabins that are about 8 ft by 6 ft. Each time I pass them, I am reminded of the little wooden Christmas cabins that sold Gauffres with powdered sugar or nutella and Santons. Two I remember were in St. Germain-En-Laye and at La Defense. I can picture walking through the marche' and it was lightly snowing, lights were glittering from the little cabins. My girls now "carefully play" with the Santons I brought home. Joyeux Noel ladies...

I wish you would have been my teacher, i didn't even learn about Seder until France. However, I have bought a few children's books (Like, "Hooray, It's Passover!") and others that I read to the nieces and nephews to expose them to the wonderful traditions in some small way.
What's the title of Lynn's sister's book?
I am so happy to live closer to the Madeline Cathedral as I will be taking in some of their Easter service this year too, along with my own.
Give Thanks!
The title is 'A Christ-Centered Easter'.
I wish I'd known so many things too. But you know, that's one great thing about homeschooling. I get to learn all the things I wish that I had. I'm LOVING reading to my kids. I could do it all day long. Maybe when they're all old enough that's what we'll do. Color in our Dover Coloring books and read to eachother.
This year Easter was reborn for me. My daughters and I visited Angela's grave on Easter Sunday. It was the highlight of the day along with the singing of Easter hymns at church. What a powerful day, the first spring day in my eyes no matter where it falls on my calendar. The ultimate spring day. I look forward to making more of this holiday than I have.
