Picking flowers

Flowers for Nana

The jonquils are blooming here and Cailin loves to pick flowers. She has been sick all weekend, running a fever. Today is very nice so we got out of the house just for a little while to get some fresh air. Cailin picked the flowers and then give them to Nana (aka: my mom). The Jonquil Festival is the weekend of her birthday (March 14-16) at Old Washington State Park. Hopefully the weather will be nice and there will still be jonquils to see so we can go. You know, every small town has a festival of some sorts around here. The Watermelon Festival is in Hope, the Pine Tree Festival is in Dierks, and the Dinosaur Festival is in Nashville. If you are looking for a reason to come visit, I can find you a festival to attend. Today was the first day that she would get on Papa's tractor. She sure did enjoy it.

Moooo!

Look out the window and you will see what Cailin and Belle are looking at. The window sills are just the right height for Cailin to sit on.

Such a silly girl!!!
This weekend we found a house we think we would like to purchase. We are still waiting for someone to buy ours. They are showing it right now. Matthew is off today, for President's Day. I guess that is one of the perks of working for a lending agency. You get all the government holidays off.

Getting Settled

It has been a while since I was able to sit down and write. The last couple of weeks have been very busy and full of change. Our plan was to get down here on Feb 3rd but Matthew got the flu. Cailin and I spent the next 3 days trying to avoid getting the flu. We managed. We finally got loaded and got here on Wednesday. I took Cailin to the new daycare on Thursday, during playtime. There is one girl one month younger and several girls that are older. Only three boys out of 14 kids. The weekend was beautiful and spent most of it outside. There is plenty of room to roam here, plus there is the Mule to ride, and a swing set. We rode to the river and got to throw rocks in. However, she just wanted to step in the river and get water on her shoes. Belle is enjoying the country. The cows have intrigued her and keeping her on this side of the fence is a challenge. Today was Cailin's first day of school. She had a good day and took a two hour nap. Hooray!! It sure made the evening much easier. Sorry I don't have new pictures right now. I will work on that this weekend.
