- Our 1 1/2 year old is doing much better. We're not sure what caused his tonsilitis, but it seems to have been viral. His white blood cell count got up to 27,000! We are back home now from the hospital and he is back to his old self. He is very normal for himself now(finding all kinds of things to get into) and I am very thankful he is well.
- In other news, I started a Sourdough Starter Saturday and can't wait to try it out. I think the brew is just about ready! This is my first time making my own from scratch. I hope to post on this soon. I know, this sounds sooooo exciting. But what can I say- I dig bread making!
- To review our school week- well....we're getting the essentials done but I think for Social Studies and Science we may take a more Five in a Row(very relaxed) sort of approach to finish off the year and start back on our Weaver next school year. I'm just tired and about to pop. Well, not quiet that big but I'm getting there. So maybe I'll make it more storytime about Einstein, the Caesars of Rome..A Bug collection..and whatever else my kids want to explore and learn about while we sit down and relax.
- The Spring Cleaning Challenge didn't happen much last week. The children did get at least half the baseboards done around the house, and I did get the curtains washed, but that's about it. Between doctor's appointments and a sick baby, plus the hospital stay, I'm just glad to be home.
Spring is almost here and the trees out my upstairs bathroom window are starting to bloom. The birds are getting loud again about 6 am and we are watching our tomato plants take off indoors. My husband bought me two semi dwarf apple trees a few days ago. We just need to figure out the perfect place to put them.
In the midst of all of life's concerns, God is always so good!

Wow! I hope you have a good fresh week!
Amen! He sure is! I'm glad to hear your little one is home from the hospital and better.
I'm looking forward to hearing about your sourdough starter and bread! I tried making the starter one time and the bread and it was a big flop! I need to try again.
I made a Sourdough Banana Bread over the weekend. And it definitely had that zing to it. I'm going to make several loaves of just plain Sourdough this coming weekend. I'm not sure how potent my Sourdough is though. :o)
It isn't bubbling over the jar or anything. It has bubbles and definitely a fermented smell. It also made the sponge I tried for the Banana Bread rise, but when I fed it is didn't double in volume.
Sincerely,
Linda
