January Update

What a fun weekend!  The big kids were here for the long weekend.  John Sawyer and Jack spent one day with us, and fun was had by all.  I love these days.  We aren't sure when our next visit with the big kids will be.  This was another laid back visit, and those are my favorite kind. I am meeting Lindsey to take them back tomorrow, but first we are picking John Sawyer up and headed for one last adventure.  More on that later. I must say that we were all very disappointed in our lack of snow.  We had big, big plans!

They enjoyed decorating Valentine's cookies.  Very creative and just a tad messy.                   

Teamwork!

Great job!

After decorating the Valentine cookies, the boys helped with some delicious molasses cookies.

This sweet thing loved washing dishes!  He washed that one bowl for about 15 minutes.  

Jack loves riding around on their dumptruck.

Maddie went for a run at the park.  Reed ran with her for about a mile and then joined Lillian at the playground.

Big pig down!  Reed and Pop killed 2 more the next day.  You wouldn't believe the damage they do to our land.

Just chilling! The oldest and the youngest!

Meet Mr. Puggles!  We picked him up running down the Benevola Road.  I am happy to say that we were able to reconnect him with his family after just a couple of hours. I was so amazed at all the people that helped with this.  There are lots of nice people in our community.

John Sawyer and Pop got in a little bulldozer work, and we enjoyed some time at the sandpiles.

More to come!
