My little ballerina

Gretchen has been taking another ballet class at the YMCA during February, and she loves it! She's more focused this year than last, so she has actually remembered the moves and positions. I think this might be something she is going to want to stick with for a while!

My new hairdo

Happy Leap Day! Did you do something fun to celebrate this rare holiday?

I got my hair colored red today. It was time to hide the nasty gray hairs that kept sprouting up overnight! A hairdresser from church was offering half off reds this month, so I took advantage of it. And she did a fabulous job. I can't believe how long my hair is getting. I'm liking the long locks lately!

Our new little chicks

The chicks arrived at Big R last week, and I decided to let the kids each have two brand new baby chicks. They were only 3 days old when we bought them, and now they are a little over a week old. They each got a yellow chick, which will turn red, and a black chick. Right now they are living in my craft room, keeping warm under swing arm lamps and my space heater. They are doing well, and since the weather is getting better, they will be able to move outdoors when they reach about 6 weeks old, hopefully sooner!

Little House in the Woods

It snowed again, and it coated our property in the prettiest snow. I took advantage of the setting sun tonight and took some pictures outside. I loved how this one turned out - our nice warm house nestled in the snow surrounded by trees. Home sweet home!
