More positive thinks

~yesterday we planned to spend an hour looking at genealogy after the kids went to bed, but then we stumbled on an amazing discovery. Josh's ancestor is one of those responsible for the charter for New London, CT! He was a busy guy (usually suing people, according to the records we looked at!) and apparently very important. And his will includes his family line from 1100 to 1600, so we have a document that lets us get that line back another 500 years!! (John Plumbe is his name)
~the sun is feeling more and more springy. It's melting the snow and giving me hope. And a headache, but hopefully I'll start noticing an improvement soon, since we saw the homeopath this morning and that always helps quickly.
~Jasmine read the story in her lesson today without me! I think she's realizing how much fun reading can be. Bekah's at the point where it's hard work and she forgets the beginning of the story by the time she gets to the end, but she'll get past that soon, too.
~We got pictures of headstones of some of Josh's family this morning, which is filling in some blanks we had on the family tree. We'll have to go back when the snow is gone so we can see more, but it's a good start!
