It's once again time to get caught up on pictures!!!

Andrew and I got off the phone a little bit ago. We talked to Mother for a few minutes and she said they've made some new friends in class and Dad and Jacob were visiting with one of them at that moment at the hotel. She said they're learning a lot, although their sittin' bones are getting a bit tired!

Here's a picture of when they left on Tuesday:
Oh, and this is one more picture that I wanted to share from the home school convention, as it's one of my favorites. :)

(Just so you know, these 2 are really friends in real life.)


There is a terrible blizzard going on currently in our part of the world... Humongous wet snowflakes were being hurled through the sky and onto the land at great speeds all afternoon and, by the time Andrew and I went out to take care of the animals, there were large snowbanks in places that were nearly bare this morning....

This is what the front of our house looks like now:



Andrew, nearly finished feeding cows...

We felt sorry for these calves, so Andrew let them in the milk barn after he was done milking his cow...

But even inside the barn, the snow and frost has found a resting place...

Here's my Lady, watching a kitty, while Millie...

...eats the grain that I dumped in Sally's trough!

The wind even made slanted icicles!

When my part of chores were through, I gratefully went back in the house and made us some pancakes for supper. :)
Oh, and here's a picture of Andrew working on that difficult puzzle I was telling you about...

...and here's the finished product!

And that's all I have to share here for now. Have a great weekend everyone and, if you live in ND, please be careful if you're traveling anytime soon!

Lady is so cute! And those slanting icicles are So neat! That puzzle looks Hard!! How many pieces does it have? I have trouble doing 500 piece puzzles.:)

Yes, that puzzle IS hard!!! There are 600 pieces in it, and so many of them look just like the others... It took us 3 days to finish it. :)

Only 3 days?! Wow! You must be good! It would've taken us months, if not years.:)
