I am a blogging slacker! Jack says to just post when I feel like it, but the problem is that I feel it a lot, but, I never actually sit down and do it. I envy people who are able to write every day. I even have the same problem with my own personal journals. I want to write every day, but, NEVER do it! Sometimes I will go on a spree and let the creative juices flow, I wish it was more often.

My life, though faced with some sorrow these past few months, has become brighter. Hope is brewing and the season's light is healing. Winter around here is so hard for me to get through. I finally bought one of those SAD lights, so hopefully that will help next winter.

On to some pictures.

Aaliya and Ella on a hot day at Remlinger Farms. They both finished their first year of preschool this month(same preschool different time). I have enjoyed the co-op. It has been so nice to get to know all the moms and be a part of Ella's experience. Next school year she will be in the fours class though she will be 5 in October. She will be going three days a week and I will help on one of those days.

Our animals are all doing well. The chickens were producing beautifully for about three months. 4 to 5 eggs a day! Now we are lucky if we get one. If any chicken lovers read this please share your advice. We are babysitting the preschool guinea pig and have also aquired several tadpoles and salamander babes that Jack and Ella found in our wetland jungle.

This is Ella getting ready for her ballet recital. It was pretty cute, I will try to post the video clip sometime. I don't know if we will be doing dance again next year. With preschool three times a week among other things, I think our schedule might be too full. I don't like being too busy. And, anyway, Ella claims to "HATE" dance class at the moment. I certainly won't be forcing her to do anything she hates.

Like the bright green costume? It actually was cuter than I thought it would be.

Here's to better updating!!
