Top of the Morning to You!
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Not that we do anything to celebrate, but happy day anyway! Did you know that my children didn't even know about the whole pinching thing? I tried to make them wear green today so they wouldn't get pinched, only to be informed that pinching was against school policy, and no one would pinch or be pinched today or they would get in serious trouble.
"How about I just draw a shamrock on your knuckle just for good measure...in case someone didn't get the 'no pinching' memo?"
"No thanks...Mrs. S. won't allow anyone to pinch."
"Neither will Mrs. M! We're good!"
Well...alrighty then! Guess some things are just outdated!
Hope you are having a great week so far. I am loving this weather. Isaac and I are headed to the park to look for leprechauns!
Blessings (Irish and otherwise...),

Product Recommendation
From one mom to another:
I am a generic girl. Especially on dishwasher detergent. However, I just tried this for the first time, and I LOVE it! Our dishwasher wasn't working so great...lots of residue on the dishes. Jeff picked this up while browsing at Lowe's, and we love it. Caked on casserole dishes come out sparkling clean. No more grit in the glasses! It does a wonderful job, and I thought you'd like to give it a try!

Checking in...
Good morning! I have a thousand and one things I need to be doing, but I thought I'd check in and let you know how things are going in our neck of the woods.
We have been so busy with livin' lately that very little else has gotten done. We all fought off colds or endured springtime allergies these past two weeks, and I'm glad to report that everyone is breathing much better now.
We finished off basketball season, and are going full steam ahead into baseball season. Owen will play this year. Levi wants to, but we'll see about that. I hesitate to get them involved on a team until they BEG for at least a week. Then I know they're serious. There'll be YEARS of organized sports in my future, and I don't see any reason to rush into it until I have to!
Jeff's work is keeping him busy, which is a good thing given the number of people we know who have recently lost their jobs. We are so thankful for God's provision for our family.
Our van is pushing 200,000 miles, and we have enjoyed getting it back from the repair shop SEVERAL times this past month! She keeps running, so we'll keep driving her! Can't seem to find another one I like any better anyway!
I completed another round of "chemo" yesterday...just the regular Herceptin treatment I get every 3 weeks. The Outpatient Oncology staff at Cox are wonderful, and I have felt very comfortable getting my treatments there. They are CLEAN...which is all I want! AND...even better...I don't have to travel 12 hours to get a treatment. I went in yesterday, and still had dinner on the table for my family last night! Woohoo! It's nice to be back to normal, or a resonable facsimile thereof!
I hope you and your family are enjoying some warmer weather. Here at our home we have a severe case of Spring fever, and are anxiously awaiting Spring Break in a couple of weeks.
Blessings to you and yours! Thank you for your continued prayers for our family. We so appreciate it!
Love,
Leslie
