January to March...the short-short version...
A smattering of pictures to cover various thingy's. Some get togethers for Christmas time, just for fun, etc...:
Jewel V., Lizzy, Elena, Jhanna V.,Chloe V., Mae C, Hannah
It's blurry, but a great time in the straw bales: The C family, Dorny family and my gals.
Elena with part of her cowgirl set she got for her birthday...and that Lazy 'ol Dog!
Sweet Jewelly V.
And in Feb I think or March it was, we went up to the G homestead to put on another cover to their green house which had blown away in a whopper wind storm one night....we actually didn't get it up because the cover ended up being the wrong size, but we did get some chickens and rabbits moved. It was bitingly cold that day too! Brrr...
We got it up with the help of some other friends about a week or so later.
Sometime in Feb/Mar. we went with the V. family and the Dorny's to an Alpaca Farm a few hours north...it was great fun, but also, really really cold!
While the Dorny's and Mrs.C & her kids lived with us, I had Nana's room (while she stayed with Margaret & then went to Fl). In order for us to do our separate homeschooling, the girls and I used Nanas room. You can see the mess her room is from when I had moved a bunch of my stuff in there in order to give Steve & Heather more space in my room. This video is of two of the girls practicing their ballet to a selection from our Composer study on Johanne S. Bach.:
And video of Mr. Dorny playing "Monster" with the kids. The jist of the game is: the "Monster" hides while everyone counts, then they go looking for the Monster who then jumps out on them and everyone runs for base.
In March, the Dorny's began to move back to Fl. We kept their dogs until they found a place. We spent some time with the G's and the V's (who have since moved to TX... We miss you guys!!!)
Hoppy in Connor G's boots. Liz & Jewel Jewel & Angela V.
Hoppy and her special buddy Chloe....she misses her lots, asks to call her even.
And the early hours of the day 3 or 4 am, the dogs got me up to show me it was snowing!. Then our winter wonderland picture at a more sensible hour!
And a video of the romp in the snow. Elena says "Oh my gosh! " at the end, cause she discovers that Domino's (the black standard poodle) giant Pooh Bear doll is frozen to the ground! He was very sad mourning over it, but perked up when it thawed out enough for him to dig it up. Pooh became an outside bear after that!
.
And that's enough for now....
Have a blessed rest of the week gang.

Danke. Makes the kids jealous and start asking me when we're going to go back again. The fact that we've both just bought new houses that need to be dealt with just doesn't register in their young minds.:rollingeyes: Are the Gs going to be in Germany for a long time? I hope you haven't been deprived of your neighbor at the new place.
:wink-wink:C
G's got back today. Actually, we have 2 very nice neighbors on our lane, both older couples. The A family have a heard of cattle as pets :dancingcow: and have raised 6 children, the youngest at college in Va bch. I think. They are Christians and attend the huge Baptist church about a mile or so from us. The other family, the W's, has two college age sons who we see driving by now and then as they visit their parents. The W's rent out their fields to Mr. Harris who farms many acres around these parts. There are also about 10 to 15 homes on our paved road (which my property backs up to). So we're not really in the boonies. We also live within 4 miles of the K. family who attend church with us, and on the same side of the bridge as about 5 more families. Frankly, I'm about in the same boat as we were in N.O east. All my friends that I visited regularly were in Metairie/Kenner and a couple on the West Bank. I figure I'm actually doing less driving then I did then, as I'm not on a social calendar like I was. :wink-wink: Hope you guys will get to visit sometime. We're planning on visiting around after the N.N. house sells and before we look into getting some animals.
Hope all is well.
~K.
