Just working on school while hanging out with the kitty… (and listening to classical music!) πEllie has started doing this thing where she grabs your cheeks in her hand & stares into your eyes…so sweet. Here she’s doing it to Zar with Lucas watching with a big smileOh, Ellenor….sweet Ellie was trying to help. Poor kitties! They are so gracious! Their faces, though! ππ€£We’ve been watching The Little House on the Prairie & Willie Olsen does thisβ¦.so now Ellie does… π₯΄π€¦ββοΈWhat a funny, cute, messy not-such-a-baby-anymore!!Not a great picture, but I finally decided that if I have to wear a mask, I’ll make one that makes me smile, if not everyone else πAs always, the pictures never do it justiceβ¦ we will definitely miss the GORGEOUS sunrises & sunsets if/when we ever move!πβ€Ellenor loves wearing this Christmas hat & especially while it’s flopping in her face!She then proceeded to run around & around with it flopping all over.Lizzy made a funny “cat armor” contraption for Otter…she was patient, but not amused πI’m grateful for simple reminders. I’m thankful for daughters who see a mug like this, know I would love it & buy it for me, just because. I’m thankful for daughters who see I didn’t have time to make a cup of coffee, so they make one for me. π I am exceedingly blessed! (Under the lid it has 1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Pray without ceasing.”)While I was at work one day I got this text: “Ellenor wanted to protect Zar from the puppy so she locked herself in the dog crate π”So stinking cute! πSnow! One of our favorite things! Ellie was pretty excited to be able to play with the others outside!The kids all had so much fun! Puppy got all tuckered out, too!! A short video of the kids & puppy playing in the snow
