Life in Hayfork

From Spring '09

It's usually during the springtime that I LOVE living in CA. Spring seems to come here earlier & the sunshine always feels good. Last week, I even had to dig out my sprinkler & Micah loved running through it:

Recently I went house-hunting in the new community we are moving to. I was so excited to be closer to civilization!!! But I was reminded also, of the beauty of living in the "middle-of-nowhere." Here I frequently have 15-20 deer (I'm not kidding) eating or sleeping in my front yard, or I will run across a fox or cayote on my way home. One of the neatest thing is our local albino deer. I never knew that there was such a thing...until I saw it one day (and almost drove off the road). A few days ago he was right outside my back door & I couldn't help but shoot a few shots!

Finally, last weekend we traveled to the Bay Area for the CHEA homeschooling conference. We had a great time sharing with young people & their parents about the opportunities with TMI.

After the conference we took the "long way" home & drove up the cost (across the Golden Gate Bridge) and saw a part of California that is absolutly beautiful & free of the tourist crowds & only 30 min north of San Francisco!

April Sunshine...

So I haven't been too good at posting lately, 'cause I've been having a lot of fun with the kids (which I think is, OK!). So here is just a snapshot of what's been going on for the past month:

On our way to the airport last month to fly up to Portland do have Ryan's wisdom teeth out & do promotions at a conferece the Lord protected us in an amazing way. We were hearing some thumping in our car...got out and looked, nothing was wrong. Kept driving. At 60mph on I-5 I lost TOTAL control of the car & it was all over the road (definatly did not respond the way it suposed to with a flat tire). We pulled over & discovered that 3 of 5 lugnuts had sheered off & our tired was crooked & barely hanging on. We are greatful that the Lord protected our family, provided a dealership which took responsiblity for the problem & resolved it quickly, and my Dad was in the are & was able to drop what he was doing to drive us to the airport so we didn't miss our flight.

My family took their annual motorcycle trip to Stonyford, CA. Micah loved getting on the bikes & hanging out with his cousins & uncles!

This year I decided to let Micah dye eggs for Easter. He absolutly loved it & wanted to do more. We took the dyed eggs to the brunch at church on Easter morning, which was fine with me 'cause neither Micah or I eat the eggs & I didn't know what I was going to do with a dozen hard boiled eggs.
