Well Spring Break has certainly been WAY more interesting than we'd anticipated :) God sure knows how to take your plans and make them WAY beyond what you'd expected. We'd carefully planned a "hanging out" day with friends every other day and then just family days on the other ones. We'd planned special projects and regular cleaning and learning times. For once I thought surely that I was organized :) (not me typically) and so as planned, on Monday our friends came over (2 friends for the kids) and while out on a walk we came across a stray basset hound who'd obviously been abandoned. she was dirty and limping. Having owned a Basset when in the states and having not seen one in the 2+ years of living here our hearts went out to her and we took her to the vet, gave the vet and the guard of our community our phone number in case her owners came looking for her. So far no phone calls. She's the sweetest thing but NOT what was on my agenda for Spring Break. Not on my agenda for our time in China actually! We'd had specific things we were praying for during Spring Break, not planning on praying about whether we'd be adding a dog to our family.
Other than that, we've had fun picnics on the porch, nice long walks, visits with friends, and now lots of walks WITH a dog and giving a dog a shower (at least once a day because she was dirty dirty dirty!). The boys have been doing lots of legos and Marissa has been enjoying using her new journal and pencils. I love Spring Break! I love God's gifts to me and mine :)
