A Little Jungle on the Farm

A Little Jungle on the Farm

Shepard and Ava received a new addition to their playground. Mimi decided to give them their Christmas present early so they could enjoy it before it gets too cold. And enjoy is an understatement. Shepard still has some growing to do before he can do all the tricks...

Ava the Artist

Ava has apparently been bringing her creativity with her to school these days. She won a coloring contest in her class for her red ribbon week color page. I find it sweet that the class got to vote for their favorite. She definitely has a knack for being creative. All...

It's been a week! Both kids have been under the weather, but are finally on the mend. Colds apparently do still exist. Ava was tested twice for Covid and both times negative. It is no wonder why they both end up being sick together. This is them playing a game they...

Raising Creative Artists

Well, it took three weeks of school before Ava came down ill. She has been tested for Covid, both rapid and PCR. They both came back negative, but I am still suspicious. I am probably going to have her tested again, definitely not because I just want to put my child...
