I was just surfing and noticed my blog is a little behind.
School was closed because of the 6 ft snow drifts on all sides of Athena Jan. 5th. I wanted to take pictures of the drifts buy t
he kids wanted to stay inside and enjoy 1 more day of vacation, so John took me out and got a couple of pictures of ME. I was standing on part of the drift to get close.
Miss Becky is now back in 4-H. She has 2 lambs. The boy's name is Max and the girl's name is She-Baa. (Becky gets her humor from both sides of the family so forgive all of us) She has been looking forward to getting new lambs since she sold her last one in Sept. She is also in ballet dancing to a Spanish song. She will be heading to Washington DC and New York when the Pipe Band and Band travel there this summer to perform (I get to go too!)
Miss Catie has been convinced she needs to do a lamb this year also and is excited about it. She was always in the lamb pens at each livestock show Becky was entered in last year and had permission from her friends to be in with the baby bummer lamb. The amazing thing was Catie (who is very shy!) would talk to complete strangers when they would come up and ask about this lamb. She stepped right up and talked to them about it and had no problems. Catie is also in ballet in Becky's class dancing to the same Spanish song.
Mister Stephen is in Cub Scouts this year and plans to play in Minors (baseball). Stephen and John built a Pinewood Derby Car for the Cub Scouts competition. It was a police car (of course) and it actually got 2nd place in his age group. He got to take home a trophy and and is very proud of it! Baseball sign-ups are Feb 4th. Life should be getting really busy here in a couple of weeks.
John and I are getting things in order inside our house during the cold weather so when it really warms up we can spend time outside working on the yard. My roses really need some TLC and John wants to have a garden (hopefully just a small one this year).
