Zoe is learning how to play hopscotch. One day she will understand the rules, too.

Zoe, Zoe, How does you garden grow-ie?

Annie and Zoe were bored with chalking up the cement and chalked themselves up.

Painting girls

The girls decided to create some art on a fun spring day.

Yankee Annie and her noble pony, Macaroni.

Annie's comment on this picture..."That is ME! That is NOT Zoe!"

The Great Race

Zoe practiced the for the race in the barn. Lily was her coach. Finally, Race Day! Annie says she won and Zoe says she won. We may never know.

Zoe the Star

This is the way ballerina mice are supposed to dress, according to Zoe, I mean, Angelina Ballerina.

Snow days

Zoe and Annie are making snow castles. Also, Zoe was trying get Annie to buy some snow at her Snow Store.

Where's Annie?

Have you seen Annie? We can't find her anywhere...

New Window

Here is a sampling of our new windows we had installed last week. The house is warmer already!

Herd of deer

Lately there have been a bunch of deer congregating in our yard and our neighbors' field. It's hard to count them all because they stand near each other while they eat but I think there are 12-15 in this group that came by yesterday. I have seen as many as 18 all together.

fairies

Zoe and Annie bought fairy costumes with some allowance money. I guess if you want to be a fairy you have to stick out your tongue.

Toy Box

Grandpa got a big box in the mail for Zoe and Annie. First it was a train with Grandpa as the conductor. Later it was a doll house, with Zoe and Annie as the dolls in residence.

Zoe took this picture of Annie. She is getting better at her picture taking skills.

Zoe's Show

Zoe starred in a dancing show. It started out with Zoe and Annie asking questions of the audience, What's your favorite color? What's your favorite farm animal? The show ended with real dancing, once the costume was fixed so it wouldn't keep falling off.
Annie, after the question asking segment was over, was relegated to the audience.

The Herd

Lily with her cousins, Sabre and Zephyr, are waiting for their cookies.

Zoe and Annie are reading some old cards that Grandma and Grandpa have gotten over the last year.

Silly Faces

cutie faces

A rare time when Zoe and Annie both wanted their picture taken and both were being cute... but then they started being silly.
