Keep meaning to write, but there ended up being sicknesses going through the house and then of course there were this that and the other. Okay, enough excuses. Everyone's finally on the mend. I think I'm more or less set on school for next year. Lots of things to chew on after the homeschool convention.

We had another Seder at home. It went well. It was actually interesting when getting ready that it's obvious that I've done this many times already, things were more or less working as clockwork, except I really need better idea of portions so I don't make too much food.

I'll need to recover some but I must admit that it was the first time that I actually enjoyed the lamb. It wasn't very gamey in taste. Now we are having gyros for dinner today.

The kids had a lot of fun as expected and I'm almost afraid to check the damage upstairs but we'll clean up... someday.

We had baptisms at church today and had great conversations with some visitors after lunch.

I just had couple of new students today for piano. I think I'll really enjoy teaching them as they really have the support of their mom. Unfortunately I'll lose them in a year + as they will be moving away then, or maybe I might try looking into online lessons. Either way, I'll enjoy teaching them right now.

The kids did quite well during the lesson too. I'm glad that Nathaniel has more or less gotten over me teaching and no longer act unbecomingly the first few lessons of any new student.

I'm glad that the kids has been doing better with getting their work done.

Just got the info for this coming year's VBS lessons. will be trying to figure out craft.

I'm happy, happy, happy. Just got the material for Play-a-Story from Simply music. Can't wait to dig in and start learning the stuff. I may try to have a class this summer for it. But either way, will get my kiddos through it first and then think about incorporating it. Did I mention that I'm happy, happy, happy?

Okay, I finally did it. Bought the meat, ground it up last night and marinated it overnight. Stuffed them today and they are now hanging up in the balcony. There's a pretty steady breeze and so far it looks good. So unless so beasts gets to them (at least our dog can't) or there's some gusting winds we should be able to enjoy them in a week or two!

It was funny the other day when I was buying the pork shoulder, the gal at the check out was rather grossed out by the meat. Unless she's a vegetarian, I think she just doesn't realize how much fat she is eating when she eats sausages. Hey, that's what make them good right?

Oh yea, I made some sunshine cake (太陽&#39173 yesterday and I'm still beaming !! I'm still happy that I got it to work. I'll be bringing some to my friends, I think they'll appreciate them since you can't buy them here. Next I'll try to make pineapple cake (鳳梨&#37221 again when I have time. It just takes so long to reduce the pineapples down to a sticky glob but they are just so good fresh. A friend of mine brought me some the other day, yum...
