Just working on school while hanging out with the kitty… (and listening to classical music!) 😊Ellie 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! 🙄🤣We’ve been watching The Little House on the Prairie & Willie Olsen does this….so now Ellie does… 🥴🤦♀️What 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 😁As always, the pictures never do it justice… we will definitely miss the GORGEOUS sunrises & sunsets if/when we ever move!💜❤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 😂I’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. 💜 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 😂”So stinking cute! 💜Snow! 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
