Big Sister went back to college this past week *sadface* and Homeschooling started as the thermometer plummeted (low teens and single digits here in Central Alabama)….but we had no school delays due to the cold! *YAY*
In order to set the mood for this post, check-out this adorable video I first saw on Angie's Blog.
Unlike the video, our Christmas decor is put away, and I've incorporated some winter whites all through the house, including these pretty African violets.
Finlay recently celebrated his first birthday with yummy cookies baked just for him.
Isn't he handsome! ;P
Shelley ended her first week back at school with a horse show at her home barn, Clairmont. The name of the show is Frost BIET (not "bite" but BIET, and acronym for the Birmingham Interscholastic Equestrian Team). The show was perfectly named as the first day's competition was delayed due to the frozen ground. Brrrr!!!
Shelley's high school team qualified for Regionals in February, and Shelley qualified individually in the flat equitation class. Congratulations to you and your team, Shelley!
We have two field trips planned for this week, and hopeful nothing other than church this weekend. We need a rest!
Until next time…
Blessings!
