Geocaching

A most spectacular view from the rear of a church.  Cemetery is on the right.

#3 said he wanted to go geocaching with me today because I took him to the Angry Birds Movie last weekend.  He knew I didn't want to see the movie, but went for me.  He didn't want to go geocaching, but he did it for me!

A card from Joyce

My dork sister, Joyce, sent me this card today!

At night before I go to bed Baby Girl and I will hold hand and paw.  I will offer my hand and she will reach out and touch me.  If she's on her bed and I'm by the wood burning stove sometimes she will slowly inch her way towards me.

Such a cute Baby Girl!

Chicken Nugget, 2 days old

Chicken Nugget

The 6th grade science class is incubating chicken eggs.  I walked by the library today and saw some of the 6th graders laying down on the floor picking at eggs.  I asked them what they were doing.  They told me they were helping some of the chickens hatch that were having trouble getting out.  I asked if I could help.  Here I am helping my chicken, which I have named, "Chicken Nugget".

Here's little Chicken Nugget still in her egg.

#3's First Holy Communion

Yet another cold, dreary day.  Will the warmer weather ever come??
