Case in point #1:
Rynie worked very hard to keep his fingers out of his mouth and it took him almost 2 months, but he earned himself a mini set of bagpipes! Now most people might find that a bit odd, but it was something he's wanted since he found out that Scotland existed and they had bagpipes, so I thought it would be a good incentive for him to break a habit that I'm not particularly fond of. Now, he knows how to fill up the bladder on it, and use his mouth and arm to make noise, but he can't get notes done yet. It sure makes a lot of noise! We've had to put the rule of not playing it while anyone is asleep, because he wants to play through naptime for Little Miss! Little Miss wanted in on the action, so she picks up the bagpipes any which way, and then she hums to try and make the right sound. Unfortunately, there are no pictures of him playing yet, nor of Little Miss playing, but soon!
Case in point #2:
Brownie points to anyone who knows what this little guy is! We came home from Church a few weeks ago and this guy was holed up under our back steps!
Here is Dad trying to get the marmot out from under the back steps and the grill so we could use it!
Rynie and I made up part of the guard detail to try and 'herd' it in the right direction.
The marmot sure scared the bunny though. Since it was running everywhere, the bunny didn't know where to hide so she just held completely still and hoped for the best!
Finally! It is heading for freedom!
Thankfully, he hasn't been back to visit. Spitfire was outside while this was going on and was very vocal in her displeasure over the uninvited houseguest!In other news, we found out that Baby #3 is a little boy! Rynie is so excited to have a little brother to play with. He has been making plans for them to play Army guys, trucks, robots, fire-guys, you name it, they are going to do it. I've been trying to explain that this little man won't be up for doing rough and tumble for a little while and I hope that theory is sinking in. Little Miss on the other hand, was in denial for a bit. She thought we were getting another kitty for some reason. Lately though, she's warming up to the idea, but I think it'll still be an adjustment for her more so than Rynie.

Am I to understand that you go around in modest skirts and dresses as a way of life. Trusting that I am, "Hooray!" Way to go, sister!
Thanks for the compliment. I wear dresses/skirts about 60-75% of the time. I would like to up that percentage, but it's hard finding what I like in clothes and I'm not willing to spend the money on something that is just okay. I have to love it or know that it really will work and looks feminine so that I feel it is a worthwhile investment.
I always make sure that I am modestly covered, and if I am wearing trousers, they look like they'd belong on a woman and not a man. All my tops are picked because they actually cover *more* than what is required, and I like it that way because then I'm not worried about tugging things into place.
Right now the focus for me is getting dresses/jumpers made for Little Miss, but when I get enough of those, I'm going to be working on some skirts for myself.
Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the world!
