COLD again

Winter thinks it is back again. We have cabin fever for the weekend. Jeff and I went and bought a new sink and faucet for the kitchen--the last of the big spenders.

Ruth has been reading up a huge storm. We are back to the library every week to load her up again. I think next time we will get 4 books instead of two, which she finished one a day on the weekends. Jessie keeps Ruth warm as she reads.

Sara-she had a huge project and just finished it. She did a fantastic job and will post a photo ASAP. This is Sara with all 3 fur babies-Puff the cat, Jessie and Cooper. Though Sara is smiling, I suspect that the animals are ready to run away as fast as they can!

MY CUTE GIRLS

All grown up

Ruth and Sara meet and become sisters....friends.

fun weekend

Sunday we went to the trails in town and had a great time. The day was a beautiful spring day. I even took my turn on the scooter-what a hip mom I am!

Doggy dress up

Friday evening Ruth-in the teal blue-had her volleyball and they won 3 of 4 games...way to go Ruth!

We had a beautiful sunset Friday night---followed by a rainy Saturday.

News from afar

Our very good friend returned to the US today with her beautiful new daughter who is from the same island as Ruth. While there, she tracked down two of Ruth's bio aunts~they are the ones in the foreground. We also received some contact information that we will follow up on.

Beautiful tropical weather today-2 tornadoes last night but they were east of us, we didn't even get rain which was nice because the girls and I did wash the van on Saturday, and waxed it to. My dad taught me the correct and thorough way to wash a can, so I am forcing this info onto the girls, who want to get it done with quickly.....

still here...

Sara has been hitting the books very hard since during Christmas break. This week is mid-terms and it is amazing how much it covers-everything since the beginning of school for all 6 subjects. Ruth has once again another project which is due tomorrow. I am finishing putting away Christmas things. Now that the big freeze is over, the girls and I will get back into the attic and put the rest of it away....always to find more a few days later...you know what I mean.

I really need to wash the van, but rain is coming, so oh well....until another day. I really hate having a dirty van and even the inside windows are smeared with doggie nose prints in the back.
