Day 90

I am happy to announce that

we are anxiously awaiting grandbaby#4 in November!

Congratulations Katie and Mark!!

Day 89

They sleep.

Day 88

Did someone say full moon?

Day 87

What you can't see in this picture is that Natalie and Dick are chasing Jack.  The laughter that was going on was priceless.  But, the pure joy on Natalie's face just melts my heart.

Day 86

This poor guy is wondering who the heck told him that it was spring in northwest Indiana.  We had snow again.

Day 85

I found the little baby purple crocus too!

Day 84

I am the first to admit that this is not a good photo, but would you look at the size of those snowflakes!

Day 83

I have the flu, so I wasn't taking any pictures.  I saw this on Facebook and thought I'd pass it along.  There is much truth in it.

Day 82

Spring has sprung outside the preschool door!

Day 81

Abby, Dick and Katie were out in the wee hours of the morning helping set up for the 5k fundraiser for the school I work at. 

Day 80

I wonder where these rickety old stairs go?

Day 79

The ice might be gone, but so is the beautiful blue water that was there a couple months ago.

Day 78

Somebody was showing her Irish at the 5k on Saturday!

Day 77

Corned beef and cabbage anyone?

Day 76

Happy Saint Patrick's Day from my three little leprechauns. 

Jack even has a mouthful of green shamrock cookie frosting.

Day 75

We are pretending that it is spring in preschool and growing some beautiful green grass.  Lizzy's looks like it needs mowing.

Day 74

I love the leprechaun mischief in preschool.

Day 73

I never get tired of taking pictures of these three.

Day 72

Isn't he the cutest thing ever?  I need to figure this out and make it for my owl lover, Cindy.

Day 71

We definitely need some color around here.  Things are looking pretty dull and dreary on my walks at Coffee Creek.

Day 70

I had my snowstorm.  Now, it's 50 and raining cats and dogs.  I'm ready for some of these beauties.

Day 69

I have a preview of the movie The Croods coming out March 22 with a giveaway for this little guy and a movie poster over at my other blog.  The link is

Day 68

The shamrock (oxalis) plant is blooming in preschool.

Day 67

Before we know it, there will be purple clematis blooming on this wagon wheel.

Day 66

I love how the woods behind the house look after a big snow.

Day 65

I finally got my snowstorm.  This was at the start before we got

ten inches.  I am in heaven!

Day 64

I might actually know some people who climbed this water tower in their youth.  That was a long time ago.  Maybe that is why the steps are so high off the ground now.

Day 63

The kids had fun putting out pretend fires with the big hose.

Day 62

Not sure who looks more proud and happy after Lizzy's first karate belt test.

Day 61

We took the preschoolers on a field trip to the fire station yesterday.  I love that they still have the old fire bell from when they had the horse drawn fire wagons.

Day 60

I know this is taken with my point and shoot that I keep in my purse, out the back door of preschool, but wow!  Can you see the size of those snowflakes?  It looked like someone tore up paper and dropped it from the sky.  They were huge!!
