Dixie and Summer decorated their first cake (which they gave to Gree-Gree and Paw-Paw)
What a work of art! Dixie even helped with a lot of the frosting and Summer helped do a lot of that border on the bottom. And of course they did the decorative job on top.
They've got skillz! :)

What else? We increased the number of ladies in the household to seven by adding 4 laying hens into the mix...
Jim built their hen house and laying house and did an awesome job!
And these are what we get every day...
You just can't beat fresh free-range organic eggs... for free! :)
And today we went and enjoyed a day of picking strawberries and making fresh homemade strawberry jam!
In a word: YUM!
In other non-pictorial news, I've started teaching pre-school one day a week here at the house. It's a little crazy, but now that we've finally started I'm guessing we'll get into a routine soon enough and the craziness will die down. But it's a lot of fun and the girls walk around the house singing the 'What's the weather?' song that we do for school and asking if we can have school everyday. It's cute.
Oh! And I finally got my bike that I've been wanting! Woohoo! It's a Schwinn Cruiser (but with gears as well), and although the colors aren't what would have been my first pick (or perhaps even my second), I love the ride. Exercise, here I come!
Okay, well that's all I can think of for now. We hope all is well with you and yours! Have a happy day!
Lotsa Loves!
