Performances...






Each kid has been in a performance in the last week. Srecko's was for Palm Sunday at church. He sang and recited a Bible verse with the group. He was SO excited to be up there!!! That kid LOVES to perform and dance!!!! Anytime music plays he wants to dance! His style is to do the worm from side to side. I'll have to video an example it's too cute!!!!!

Kristina and Jovan had a performance at school. It was called Friends and was the sweetest thing I have seen in a long time!! I didn't take a lot of pictures because I was too busy watching it. Jovan handed out the programs...he was the perfect greeter for that job.

Not much else is going on...school and now Easter break. We have been really talking to the kids about Easter and the true meaning behind it. They did so much Easter Bunny junk at school, it's almost like we need to de-program them!!! But they know, they really do. We took a course at church called Alpha, it was great!!! It was like a refresher for us taught by a guy from London. (LOVE their accents!!) Anyway, after the class and on the way home with the kids we were able to share what we learned and they really listened and asked questions...Praise God!!! And they still ask questions so it is a great time to be together as a family!

Having my children know and believe in God is the most important job I have as a mom. God gave us those children and we dedicated them back to him and are raising them the way God instructs us to. I hope one day my children will be able to give their testimonies and share what God means to them!!

Our celebration for Easter will be different this year because of the absence of my grandmother. Rather laid back and not even some of the same food. Easter is my most favorite holiday...and I have put more into the meaning then the food celebration...does that make sense? And I MISS my grandmother SO VERY VERY much!!! Still, I can remember Easter when I was a little girl! My most favorite foods were served. Ham, Krakowska, Sauerkraut and rye bread! Yep, that was awesome!! Did I say I missed her? I wish I would have recorded her voice, but I always thought I had time. I took lots of pictures with her and the children, they thought she was pretty special too! We talk about her, the kids bring her up mostly when we are sitting at the table...they want to make sure that Jesus is feeding her all the favorite foods she had! So sweet!

Getting ready for Spring around here too...almost time to mow the lawn! We had the weirdest NON snowiest winter I have ever seen!!!! So it will be interesting to see what the weather will be like this Spring into Summer! Srecko wants a pool really bad...and Jovan can now swim on his back independently!! And can hold his breath when he is in the bath tub...but he swims in a pool. Srecko was swimming about ten minutes after he got in the pool for the first time...and that is all we hear about it getting a pool! So we are already price checking for them.

Well, that's about it for us...the days just fly by for us and I can't believe it!
