We renewed our membership and took the day to see the sights and have a picnic with Sloan and Caroline, it was Caroline’s first visit so of course being a wizened old bay of six weeks she cared not for anything but mama.

Just being a few weeks old, she of course had no appreciation for the fine dining atmosphere… but Sloan knew what was what!

Had to go run an errand and someone was happy to see me!

It was a nice day out and Sloan wanted some time outside, aired up the lawnmower tire and made a circuit around the yard and ate some leftover Trash Panda and enjoyed the yard with our girls and chickens!

So Caroline and all of us contracted RSV somehow and Caroline being a little over a week and a half old ended up with an ER visit then hospitalized. I stayed home with Sloan to take care of her while we were both sick, Zoe had a hell of a week with Caroline in the hospital. Thankfully Caroline rallied and got better super quick and we are grateful to have her back home and healthy!

We took the girls to go visit with the grandparents at their home in Kilgore and Sloan had a blast playing in the backyard.

Sloan was the first to visit her new sister Baby Caroline, followed quickly by Great Grandma & Grandpa!

Caroline was born today and she is perfect!

Mama made noodles and we shared them and watched television listening to the roof drip and refreeze!

It’s a bit nippy outside… it’s currently 10:00AM and 26F outside, I believe someone forgot to tell this storm that we don’t like ice here. Granted this does my native Virginian heart proud. I do miss having actual seasons, and not just hot and extra hot. Granted yesterday I spent a good part of the day testing the genny, getting gas for it, getting the chicken coop covered a bit more than it was, and of course… entertaining my first…
