To blog or not to blog......

that is the question. I have such good intentions about blogging - things I want to share in pictures and in words.

What keeps me from posting? Time - I get so busy doing the stuff I want to blog about that I don't get around to blogging. Does that make sense?

With that said - my blog posts will probably not be frequent. They may be more like a wrap up of what is going on with us (like this post).

We are enjoying the warm weather (when we have it). You gotta love NC weather - warm one day, cool the next - some days it starts out warm and turns cold and vice versa.

Christian is playing spring baseball on the Yankees 7-8 year old team. He had a blast at his first practice this week. The boy loves baseball (and does very well I might add). Wooten will be playing baseball, also. Assessments for his age group are coming up in the next few weeks. Tom, Wooten and I are going to see the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles play in April. Wooten is very excited. We'll have to ride by and take a picture of the Charm City Cakes building (home of Ace of Cakes) while we're in Baltimore. Anna Gracen is finishing up her first year of gymnastics. She loves it. I am impressed with all she has learned. Her awards day is coming up in the next few weeks.

We are enjoying homeschooling. The kids are doing well. We'll be having end-of-grade testing in May. We attended an open house for Classical Conversations last week. The kids really enjoyed it. We are prayerfully considering enrolling for the fall.

Wooten attended Acquire the Fire with the youth group. They had a great time and did a wonderful job of sharing about their experience. Wooten did not share much in church, but has shared with us some things that touched him. The speaker, Nick Vucjicic, made a huge impact on the youth (on anyone who has ever heard this testimony).

We are anxiously awaiting the birth of Matthew Abel Sloan which could be any day now!

I have a home business that I am getting started. For more information check out my website www.fhtmus.com/amandadoc. I am excited about the possibilities.

We are blessed beyond measure. We are able to visit with family frequently and have a wonderful church family. We are thankful to God for all He has provided to us through Jesus. We look forward to the plans He has for us. We will be celebrating Jesus' resurrection with an egg hunt at church on Friday. We will be trying out a new recipe for resurrection rolls (thank you, cousin Kathy) and our traditional resurrection cookies (Nana's favorite). I am sure their will be several egg hunts with family.

Until time allows...Blessings! :)
