Hi everyone,

I am sorry for the long delay. How is everybody? You all sure worked hard when I was sick. Thank you so much for all that you did. I missed you so much when i was in the hospital, but I realized just how rich and blessed God has made my life. Though there have been disappointments, I am so grateful for all of you and everything God has given us as a family.

I hope you all are ready to get back to work this week. Do your best for the lord, even if it's hard. I know you will.

Love, Mom Lilly

Hopefully, we have all escaped the flu. Nose to the grindstone now, and all that. My goal is a cleaner house, a more organized schedule, saintly patience and perfect children. I hope my children will listen to me. I am not always right, but I have a lot of experience in life. Please listen to your father and I. We only want the best for you.

Spring is right around the corner and I am hoping we can all take more of a break this summer. What do you think about moving everything in the house outside for a day when the weather is better and doing a regular, old-fashioned spring cleaning? They say cleaning is good for the soul and I believe it. Of course, it will be nice to get rid of stuff, too. Then we can have our break, other than the usual housework. we could do fun, schoolish things, too.

This Xanga is a great source for airing family suggestions of any kind. Who will be first?
