A little catching up...

OK, so we've been so busy lately I don't know if we'll ever catch up on what's been going on.  Here are a couple of things that might be of interest.

A doe ran in front of me a few weeks ago so I slowed down and a few seconds later a fawn comes walking across the road behind her.  Since then Houston has been crazy over "baby deer".  Coincidentally, my parents neighbors have taken in two "baby deer" who had been orphaned.  We had to take a field trip!
There are no words to describe Houston's excitement.  The animal whisperer himself wasn't at home so we couldn't pet them.  He's the only one they are comfortable with.  They are still being bottle fed.  So very cute.  He's planning to give them to an animal refuge once they are older since they may not have a fair chance of making it in the wild.  These caretakers certainly have a gift from God and a huge love of animals.  Such a wonderful gift.
Houston also had some fun playing in Popa's truck.

In addition to our "baby deer" fun the girls have also had a field trip with school.
They actually didn't go anywhere- it was considered an in-house field trip.  Miss Annie, a special speaker that will visit them 6 times this year, came and spoke to their class about the weather.  Even though they didn't "go" anywhere it is considered a field trip and they wear their field trip attire.  The girls enjoyed it and learned that you can make your own thunder noise by popping a balloon.  I'm sure they learned more than that (I hope), but that was the takeaway they shared with us.  Hopefully more catching up will come sooner than later.
