The Goats

These are the 3 goats that Raluca and Ed got.

There's Seamus, and two females: Vera (the pregnant one), and one whose name I forgot. Sena wanted to show us how to go in to the pen: "you hold your hand straight, and all your fingers together, so that they don't bite a finger off!".

Good Day for Julia

A good day with a brief walk in Mansfield Hollow:

Then we met the new goats at the farm (I might put a picture up later...)

And some quality time at home.

Oh, and an important 3-2 victory in overtime. :)

Stella Weekend Update

Here she is, enjoying a little awake time.

The girls having breakfast and books in bed, all looking pretty.

Some pictures from the last few days

Snow Day!

I picked a good day to not go to work.

After last week's forecast of "Snowmageddon", which resulted in only about 4cm of actual snow, we were pleasantly surprised that they got it right this week.

Here are some pictures from the back yard this morning.

Julia had a great time 'helping' shovel.

The birds always seem to do go on a feeding frenzy when it snows...

And then (!!!) the nieces came over for some sledding!

Sena was nice enough to slide down with Julia a few times.

Here's a really nice spill by my oldest niece:

Aiyana was not to be outdone...

... she is fearless (she was going faster than it looks here). Maybe a future olympian.

And she eventually found ways to stop.

Auntie Raluca and Julia:

The girls getting some good exercise.

Come back anytime there is snow!
