Spring is here

Last week we enjoyed spring break. The days were filled with outdoor activities, coloring eggs and celebrating Easter. Each morning Igor and I went outside to look at the trees. Everyday something was in bloom or revealing vibrant colors.

Spring break gave Igor a taste of summer- warm weather, sleeping in, running barefoot. He is now counting down to summer vacation. Only 8 1/2 weeks to go.


We cleaned out the sand box and filled it with fresh sand.
Henry could not help himself- he had sand every where-

his hair


his pockets

Rob is giving Henry the sand "shake down" before we go inside.

God has been amazing by providing sponsors for the children at Grace Baptist Church! We are still seeking sponsors for these amazing children. Please e-mail me mblueberry.madamblueberry@gmail.com
if you or your church is interested in sponsoring a child.

The Tooth Fairy, Spring & Chalk

Instead of going to art class Igor and I met the tooth fairy.

Igor has often wondered about the tooth fairy- how big is she? is she a she? does she have wings? How does she sneak into the house without anyone noticing?

Our local college had a dental health awareness event for children so Igor and I went. Igor was very nervous when he saw the tooth fairy. After decorating a huge tooth and making a wand he decided the tooth fairy was approachable. I was able to snap a quick picture. Did you know that the tooth fairy has a magic tooth brush instead of a magic wand?

Normally, I'm always with Henry so it was this was a special mommy and Igor time.

We've had some very mild weather lately. My flowers are in bloom! Spring should be in the south soon. Except they are predicting snow again? We'll see....

It's been so warm Igor has taken his drawing outside. In the spring we go through boxes and boxes of chalk.

Has anyone made made chalk? I'd love to know how hard it is to make and what your children think of the home made chalk. Are you able to make bright vibrant colors? We love Melissa & Doug Chalk because the colors are so bright but it's expensive.

Egg Hunt, 14, Spring's birthday and Maundy Thrusday

Our church's Easter Eggstravaganza was last Saturday. There were lots of fun things to do including a Egg Hunt. Igor loves to hunt for eggs. We invited our neighbors and children from Igor's nursery school. The children and parents had a wonderful time.






Creating an Easter bonnet. Dad is a great sport for wearing the bonnet!


Hunting for Eggs

14's Last Harrah

14 must know that the time is up; 14 is doing all he can to make me miserable. I called the pharmacist this morning because I had another sleepless night and I still feel "great pain". The pharmacist said I must be on the antibiotic for at least 72 hours before I begin to feel relief. He said an abscessed tooth is the hardest infection to treat. 14 should be calming down tomorrow. Today will be another day of protein shakes for me. Please pray that the antibiotic will work quickly and I will feel sweet relief.

Spring's Birthday

At Nursery school we said good-bye to winter and hello to spring. The children sang songs welcoming in spring time. (my camera batteries were dead so I don't have any pictures of the program!) The children made a carrot cake from scratch. It smelled sooo good but I didn't/couldn't have a bite. Igor happily ate cake for both of us!

For several weeks each child has been very busy at nursery school. The children painted heavy paper which was cut, folded and glued into a basket. Eggs were blown and dyed; then soil and seeds were added. Each child made a bunny from sheep's wool. They are so cute! A baby chick and flower seeds were added to finish the basket.

Our Maundy Thursday service was the Passover Seder. A Messianic Jewish Pastor from Israel shared the Passover Seder tradition and the last supper. You may learn more about The Chosen People Ministries or the Passover by checking out their website.
