10 things about us

Do you ever feel like you have so much to say and so... you say nothing?

That's me right now. I am neglecting Pocket Lint but I can't help it. Every time I try to post, my mind goes blank. So I decided I am just going to give bullet points. Think of this as a Marchenko business presentation:

1) Polly had her Moyamoya annual test and the blood is flowing. I am so thankful for her health!

2) Zoya turned 9 years old on March 29th. She went to a cooking class with a friend and we had a family party at home.

3) Our church had a wonderful Easter celebrating the Risen Jesus. A whole family was baptized, there was a brunch and an Easter egg hunt and a meaningful service.

4) I am half way through rewrites for KRASATA (my memoir about Polly and other things :).

5) I cleaned my house for company. It's dirty again now.

6) Evangeline now follows us around the house and wants to be held :).

7) Mothers Day is hard every year because I cannot believe God has loaned me four beautiful daughters and I fear that I am ruining them. And then they give me kisses and home made cards and I feel better.

8) Sergei is busy but somehow, he makes sure we (as his family) know that we count.

9) I have been up and down with depression... but more up now, and for that, I am thankful.

10) We were able to host and family from Australia and upon meeting, they instantly felt like family.

    #5 made me LOL! And I can so relate to #7. In fact, I wrote a blog post about it. http://remnantofgrace.blogspot.com/2011/05/mothers-day-musings.html

    I like bullet points! So much better than nothing at all. :)

    Feels good to read something from you, your words always do my heart good. :) And for the record, I liked the bullet points. I've been at a loss with my own blog, I might have to steal this idea. :)

    Love ya friend.
