Spring Things

Usually about this time of year we might say that spring has finally arrived…but this year spring has been here for a while. And we’re loving it! Yes, it’s actually rather green here and it’s not even Memorial Day yet! (For northern Minnesota that’s quite impressive.) So here’s a glance at a few signs of spring around here.

Happy spring!

Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; His going out is sure as the dawn; He will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth. Hosea 6:3 (ESV)

Spring Kittens

Spring is finally here! And so are some adorable kittens. Our mama cat had four of little ones a few weeks ago. It’s been a long time since we’ve had kittens around here so we are a little excited.

April Ice Fishing

Last week Dad and the boys had the opportunity to go ice fishing with a friend. Since our family has very little experience in ice fishing, Dad’s friend was there entirely to serve them with his knowledge and abilities. What a blessing!
