Hello, Hello! Spring might finally be making her way here and I am so ready to welcome her back. The last 3 days have reached at least 50* and it has felt so good. It has been really good for the new puppies, too. Yep, we got puppies. Monday night we were able to pick up 2 new female aussie/healer puppies. One is black with gray and brown freckles, the other is a rusty orange color and white. Ruthie (or Roofie as the girls say) is the black one; we named the orange one Ginger. The children have just loved playing with them. I'll work on gettin pictures of them to post.
that is a tarantula my son is poking. and where is mom? she's about a good 10 feet away using the zoom. I can't think of anything that would get me to put my hand in that tank.

Yesterday we had a lot of fun with Katie, her kids and Mom. Katie found out about this fun children’s science palooza that the local university puts on for free. They stood inside a giant bubble, made their own icecream, colored glowing pictures in a black light room, even fished out candy from a tank holding a live tarantula (I was quite impressed with this bravery, they definitely don’t take after me and my fear of spiders.) We were able to do so many fun experiments and activities. Austin couldn’t go because his had to take the Praxis test for his Masters. He feels pretty good about it, but won’t get the results for another 4 weeks.
this is ginger, she has the coolest eyes and I love that her belly is freckled. She is very patient with the children and allows them all to tote her all over the yard. I don't think her paws touch ground more than a few seconds when they are outside with her.
ruthie seems very smart and alert and will probably look a lot like Zero when she grows up but with a slightly different coloring. She's not as fond of being held, but loves to run and chase.
Is winter over yet?
checking her fairy schedule...
