Hmm, well here I am.

Mom curled Brenna's hair for church...so cute! I stayed in town alone last night. It was nice to have that me time. Today after church I spent the day outside. We had another wonderful warm day. I think I'll be sore tomorrow for all the work I did. My back is already reminding me it needs adjusted. I helped dad scoop cow dung into the tractor loader. I brushed down two of the young steeds. I moved panels with mom and dad to accomodate a better location for the cow. I brought in a few loads of wood. Word is the weather is supposed to turn cold in the next few days. It felt good to be out and to work alongside dad. I really admire my dad and all that he does. He is such a hard worker. I bonded with the other horses on the east end too a bit. Not Peanut though, she was being a bully>:( Here is to a new week, filled with opportunity! Alissa

A beautiful Saturday, beautiful I tell you!! The kids and I slept in today, they loved staying away from home with me. Once we were all presentable, atleast slightly, we headed out for breakfast. YUM! A bit of a change to have donuts and McDonalds for breakfast. Brenna was so thrilled to get a breakfast burrito, she always asks for one if we grab lunch there. It was still a bit chilly out after we finished so we sat down and watched Heidi, the Shirley Temple version. Getting back to my house/dog sitting duties;) we took Scooter with us on a walk to the park. It was an uneventful trip, in a good way. The kids had fun and didn't want to go back. I don't think it helped that they knew we were headed home after we put Scooter away:) I love my family, what a blessing. Alissa
