Looking forward to spring!



We are all looking so forward to spring! We have thoroughly enjoyed winter and playing in the snow, but, it is time to move on! St. Patrick's day is right around the corner and Jon and Ceili have their outfits picked out. Erin is still looking and trying to decide. Erin, Pat, and Alicia have made a "Double Irish Chain" quilt to donate to the Red Wing Irish as a fundraiser. We are excited to visit Mike and Abby again this year for our annual Red Wing Irish Celebration. We look forward to this trip all year!




Ceili is becoming quite the little talker! Her vocabulary gets bigger and more complex everyday. It is amazing to hear her put together ideas and sentences. She has been enjoying her "Pony-Lacey" and sometimes insists on dressing up. One day she spent the morning in a dragon costume!




We are getting ready for our garden again this year. After paging through stacks of seed catalogs Jon narrowed the choices down and we have seeds on the way! Ceili helped set up the "grow lab" so we can get some of the seeds started indoors. In addition to the garden we have decided to join a CSA. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. A CSA is a farm that you support by purchasing a share and in return you receive a weekly box of food from the farm. The growing seasons range from 15-18 weeks of produce. Ceili is excited to visit the farm since it is so much bigger than the garden!




We hope you are all well and look forward to seeing you soon!
