Dance Recital

Chloe and Molly embarked on a journey into the world of dance this past fall. Friday we enjoyed seeing them all done up, for their 1st dance recital. Both girls did GREAT! I personally enjoyed seeing the other dancers as well, on all of the skill levels. Good Job my little ballet and tap dancers! Can't wait to see the improvement that next year will bring! They will take the summer off, and plan to take some skating lessons, and attend some home school skating sessions, at the local skating rink.

Happy 1st Birthday!!!

Tristen turned one!!! Hard to believe a year has passed already. I'm grateful for the gift God gave us! Tristen got her 1st pair of earrings, we had her ears pierced Saturday. On Sunday we had family over to celebrate her birthday with pizza and cupcakes!! Baby girl got a few new toys and some money to let mommy get her some gear to make camping and lake trips a breeze!! :o)

A personal blog

Hello all who follow... I've embarked on a spiritual and personal journey... and some have recommended I blog it, others a journal. I stink at the journal part.. so have decided this is not the appropriate blog for it so have started a seperate blog to record my 40day journey. So if you are interested here's the link a40dayjourney.blogspot.com And you can also click on me!! and see my profile and it will list my other blogs.. I'll let this blog remain for family related stuff... And will try to keep it up to date.

Newest addition.

Our friend Warrie has 3 min pins and Molly adores her one named Aurora! Then has since she met Aurora asked for her own "little dog". I did some research and to no surprise found a new min pin puppy or rescued pup or young dog was $200 or more plus the potential for vet bills especially with new puppy shots. So daddy said no way.. unless you find one really cheap or free. Then about 2 months ago Warrie's mom mentioned a woman at the hair salon she went to was looking for a new home for her 2 year old female min pin, that had been brought up w/ 2 little girls in the same age range as the girls. We gave it a thought and let it pass.... then the call came again.. Warrie's mom wanted to be sure we didn't want this girl... then Stephan and I decided to go ahead and give it a try. So this girl's name is Dixie, she's a 2 year old min pin. Warrie and I took the girls to meet her the meeting went well and we brought her home! Took her 3 days to like Steph. It's been 2 weeks now and she's starting to be a little less grumpy towards Roupen! I'm sure in the end they'll be great buddies. So Dixie has been a fun addition to the family, with her high energy, and she's very sweet.

Meet Dixie!!!

Hmmmm

Tristen has learned how to sit herself up from a lying down position. She likes to sit up in her crib at night and chat w/Chloe and Molly. So when all was quiet the other night and I was ready for bed, I made my rounds and found Tristen in this position. Too cute....






All will be happy to know we did lay her back onto her back.

HiGh ChAiR

NEW NEW NEW!!! I've finally managed to arrange the house in a fashion that would allow for the space to get Tristen a regular highchair and let me have full use of all 6 chairs around the kitchen table.

PA

We took a long weekend trip to Pottstown, PA to visit w/ Steph's Aunt Judi, Uncle Bill and their children. We where also able to attend their son Will's 7th Birthday Party, and celebrate Grandmom Rouze's birthday prior to leaving. The weekend was full of visiting for adults and children alike. It rained all but the 1st day there. I failed to take my camera so will have to request Judi email me a few and I'll add when I get around to it.

A new home

Our 6 lovely ladies have moved out and into their new home. Their very own coop. Though it still needs some upgrading it's enclosed and they have decided to sleep under what I had intended to be their sleeping quarters. So we have just tossed bedding under what was the old rabbit hut, and they all sleep under there. I'm pretty sure they will out grow that area, and will move into their sleeping/nesting area when the time comes and when Stephan gets it done. These ladies grow bigger by the day, and are full of personality.
