Update from the Brown House (actually it is pink...)

I am so glad to see sunny weather. It has rained here for two days straight. We have flowers coming up in the yard and our trees are budded (some budding) out. I LOVE spring!

We are gearing up for our weekend trip to Shelbyville for the sub-state AAU girls basketball play-offs. Abby's team starts playing on Friday afternoon and hopefully will continue playing until Sunday. Emma has soccer also this weekend and somewhere in there I am squeezing in going down to Chattanooga to help my sister and Dad do some more cleaning on my brother's house. We are going to burn mattresses, etc. My brother's house is living testimony to how low alcoholism can take you. It is sad....but also a living testimony.

Other than that, we are just hanging in there living the usual craziness of our home. I have started to really miss homeschooling and if the kids weren't so involved in athletics, I really believe we would probably go back to it. I never find time to fit in a scriptural lesson for the day like I used to be able to. It seems like our days go by so fast and by the end of the day we are all so tired that all we are able to do is say our prayers and sack out! Anyways, the idea of homeschooling is milling around in my head again.........

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday! Love and many blessings to all,

Melissa
