End-of-January Update:
***Our garage is now a furnished room of the house, and it is absolutely WONDERFUL! 400 square feet of ROOM! Square footage is a marvelous thing. More pictures to follow.
***Our routine has resumed. We're on week 5 of our Winter Term. We're slowly working out gliches and enjoying our learning time! Dorothy Jo is still in AM kindergarten and loving it very much.
***The three older girls are enjoying their Choir Program at the Cathedral! And, loving their Irish Dance class on Wednesdays.
***The girls and Pete met Uncle Scott up in the mountains to go sledding last weekend. And, this weekend everyone went roller-skating and biking today.....Pete's a busy guy.
***I have been busily moving things around, using our new SPACE, and organizing, purging and labeling like crazy. I got a label-maker for Christmas, and I'm completely in love!
***Last Saturday was HAIR CUT NIGHT, and boy did we go crazy!!!!!!! We all felt like it was time for a change and happily parted with a few inches. I poured myself a glass of wine and opened up my beauty parlor, while Pete got busy in the scouring/bathing department! Later in the evening, we each had a White Russian to celebrate our accomplishment! *wink* Here is the inch-off-report:
- Madeleine-7 inches
- Erika-5 inches
- Dorothy Jo-3 inches
- Caroline-1/2 inch
- Mom-2 inches
The girls love their new "look" and Jacqueline is even sporting a little fountain that she actually leaves in sometimes. Now, we need to order some new HEADBANDS and we're set!
Here is a close-up of Madeleine, since hers is the most drastic:
