Our daisies are almost blooming!!!
I think Michael made this little sculpture.
All the flowers are gone. 🙁
This is one of the flower-petals in the grass. It looks like it’s snowing when they fall! 🙂
Would you look at all those strawberry-flowers!
Will someone please tell me what my deal with dandelions is?
Dandelion manifesto!

I love SPRING!
Things change fast in the Springtime (especially flowers) and these are from a few days ago, so things in our backyard have changed a bit; but they’re still pretty, so I thought I’d post them. ❀
The leaves are getting bigger and the flowers are shedding petals, so the first is drowning out the latter. There weren’t many flowers this year, we’re not sure why. 🙁
There was a dandelion in my last flower-pictures-post too, wasn’t there? What’s my deal with weeds? 🙂
These flowers are all open now. I should take more pictures!
It took me foreeeeever to get my camera to focus for this picture! It didn’t help that M came over to see what I was taking a picture of, ’cause movement doesn’t help cameras focus, and three-year-olds don’t hold still! 🙂
Not exactly a flower! Still picturesque. 🙂
Strawberry leaves
What will be roses. . .
I think these itty-bitty flowers grew from spilled bird-seed. The hose is for perspective. The picture below turned out better.
^ A dying tulip and a poor dandelion that Michael picked and left on the concrete. How sad! 🙂
Things are GROWING!!! Yippee!
#ILOVESPRING
We got to take Lucy swimming for the first while we were in Guangzhou, and she loved it! We wanted to take her again (plus the rest of us love swimming too, including little brother), so we started going swimming on Sunday afternoons. I thought I would post some pictures. (Just F.Y.I. these pictures are from three different days; hence the people pictured in more than one swimsuit! 🙂 None of them are from today, but some of them are pretty recent.)
The lighting is really bad in there from where I was sitting because there is a window right behind the pool, but this one turned out pretty bright.
I love these silhouettes!
These pictures turned out sooo well. . . because I got up and walked around the pool to be closer to the swimmers. Good pictures are hard work sometimes. 🙂
^Isn’t this sweet?^
Happy Sunday!
Spencer was gone during the day on the week days this week at a debate tournament, and he and Dad brought me home a T-shirt.

I think it’s about time to post another part of my story. We’re on Part 4. There are going to be six parts in all.
This is the first half of the Creationist side of the story that was introduced in this part. My side of the story. I’m excited about this part.
Uncle Zade stayed home alone while we went to church. I was actually glad, because I didn’t really want to ask Mr. Pirrip about science in front of him. I didn’t want to hurt his feelings, and I didn’t want it to turn into a debate—even though I might have learned more that way.
Even at 9:30 in the morning it was hot. I leaned my forehead against the warm glass of the car window and watched the office-buildings race by. I was kind-of nervous. Not to mention that I felt torn in two. I squirmed all through the service without listening—though I didn’t usually pay very close attention.
When the service got over the three of us went in search of Mr. Robert Pirrip. After chatting with him for a while, my Dad said, “Caroline has a question for you.”
Michael: We saw something go by. It was a ‘ment [cement] truck. It came from that way. [pointing]
Me: What color was it?
Michael: Red and white. It had a white spinner, and a red cab.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Spinner? Cab? I would have simply said, “It was red in front, and white in back.” #QuoteTheLittlesCauseThey’reSmarterThanYou #Brothers #MichaelLovesTrucks

Happy Wednesday, folks! Thank you for reading my crazy blog. (And don’t miss my last story post, because it’s kind-of important.)
The waste-land and the dry land will be glad.
The desert will be full of joy and become like a rose.
Many flowers will grow in it, and it will be filled with joy and singing.
The greatness of Lebanon will be given to it, and the beauty of Carmel and Sharon.
They will see the shining-greatness of the Lord, the wonderful power of our God.
Give strength to weak hands and to weak knees.
Say to those whose heart is afraid,
“Have strength of heart, and do not be afraid.”
-Isaiah 35:1-4 NLV
I almost managed to do a wordless post… #IAmLongWinded And just to make sure nobody missed, I did another “Mystery Quote” post.
My Easter escapade is going to be slightly interrupted because I have something very important to post about:
Spencer.
My big brother is turning 16 today.
(Do you feel like the ^above sentence^ needed an exclamation mark? Me too, but S told me they’re over-used.)
Spencer has always been really fun to play with. He has always been aware of my feelings and preferences, and has always tried to do things I like. He has always had a great sense of humor (I think that came from Dad #Randomness), and he always makes me laugh.
I kind-of modeled one of the characters in The Sacrifice after him… which I think was inspired by me realizing that Bryce from Counted Worthy reminded me of him. Except Spencer isn’t over-protective–he always protects me while we’re on them, but he’s always taking me on adventures! 🙂
Happy birthday, Spencer!
Christ the Lord is ris’n today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say: Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heav’ns, and earth reply: Alleluia!
Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Dying once He all doth save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!
Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia!
Christ has opened Paradise, Alleluia!
Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Foll’wing our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!
“Christ the Lord is Risen Today”
