It's lovely to hear from both of you! It has been quiet on here!
I can't believe you've still had snow in the yard until now, Sis! Here, the kids were wearing shorts at co-op, and even *I* took off my coat (which indicates it was probably well into the mid 70's ; )
Hope your DD and DGS get there soon!
So sorry that your DH is struggling with his medical treatment.
Praying for you all.
This is what we Orthodox think of when you say "Prayer Room"

I know that many of the traditions are not compatible with yours, but maybe you'll find some inspiration here that you can adapt : )
Ironically, the infographic totally overlooked the obviously present Prayer Book and Bible! I guess just too obvious to mention. Also, for Orthodox, a Komboschini (https://www.orthodoxprayer.org/Prayer%20Rope.html) (Prayer Rope) is commonly found in most Icon corners, and not mentioned here.
What have WE been up to? Well, it's Lent. Which means we have Church every night until Pascha (Easter) - that means that our evening routine has to be more efficient, if we're going to make it to Church!
Also, we had co-op yesterday, and I was the afternoon volunteer (classroom assistant to the teacher of the littles, and afternoon recess supervisor with two others). EXHAUSTING! And, yes, I'm a little embarrassed to be exhausted by that.
But, it's lovely to see all the little kids. They're so cute
Picnic/playdate at the park today with good friends.
School is going swimmingly. I asked DD at portfolio review time, which subjects had been most difficult in the past year? (She had struggled with quite a few concepts as she encountered them, as is normal) She replied "None of them. Once I understand them, then they're easy!" Which really does sum it up quite well
I'm dealing with everyday frustrations of dealing with the medical profession. Calls that aren't returned for days, medical records that are messed up, that sort of thing. Trying to be forgiving & trust God, yet know when I SHOULD complain because things have gone too far - prayers much appreciated.
