Easter 2016

Easter is such a wonderful celebration for us! We know that even though our whole family isn't together here on earth, there will be a time when we will all be together in heaven. We rejoice that through Christ we have the assurance that we will spend eternity with our Savior. We sing our favorite hymns in church and have great fellowship with our family. It's a taste of the feast to come in heaven, where death can no longer steal our JOY!

February 2016

This month Liam had allergy testing done. They discovered that he is allergic to mold, which in Indiana, in prevalent about 8 months of the year. He also has asthma, which is induced by his allergy to mold. It was nice to learn what has caused all his croupy coughs in the past and learn ways to help with symptoms in the future.

School can be exhausting for Lilly. She often falls asleep around suppertime.

Great Wolf Lodge

Thanks to Grandma Kusch, we had a little winter, weekend get-away to Great Wolf Lodge. The kids love the water park and we had never been to the one in Ohio. We went with the Harts. We all had a great time together. The power went out because of a wind storm, but we made the most of it by taking a little day trip to a near by town.

Chinese New Year 2016

We had a great time celebrating Chinese New Year, the year of the monkey. We decorated the house with all the crafts we made for previous New Years. I made sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, rice, we had Asian pears, and we had our dragon desserts (one of our favorites). After dinner the kids got to open their red envelopes. They got chocolate coins wrapped in gold wrappers. The kids were very excited!
