Playing with her dominoes and dump truck... you can see her tired eyes just before nap time

Bundled up for a morning walk with Papa... no more warm weather for us.

Beans for dinner!

Happy Friday! Just a quick note to say hi and add some pictures. Brian took the last two weeks off from work to work on some house projects. He fenced in the garden and put a roof on the chicken run. The chickens now have access to the garden for the winter and more space to run around in. Unfortunately we are down to 2 chickens! Brian had to go into tough farmer mode the other day and "dispatch" a sick chicken. I couldn't take part and just made sure he didn't give me too many details. We are looking forward to getting more chicks this spring. Now he's working on rebuilding the rock wall out front that has been falling down.

Fiona has enjoyed extra time with Papa too. This morning I got up to get ready for the kids to arrive and those two stayed in bed until 8:45! They've also been out on lots of walks together. We'll miss him when he goes back to work. She loves eating as you can see from the picture. We try to give her some of what we are eating for dinner each night. That night it was burritos! Refried beans are such fun to feed yourself! She is just about over a long cold (Brian is still fighting his). Sometimes when a girl doesn't feel good all she wants is to be held. Thank goodness for baby carriers. I use about 3 different ones depending on her mood and what I'm trying to get done. Every Mama should have at least one!
