January Pics...

 The day after we flew in from VT (Jan 1st) we celebrated Christmas with Travis' parents at our place!

 Love holiday messes! :)

 Hmm... not sure how Carmen felt about all the photos :)

 Still enamored with the view at our new country place :) Last night there was a big deer right next to our back door... I tried really hard to get a picture of it but it was just too dark for my camera! Saw 4 deer in the prairie on the way into work today. It's worth every second of driving to live in a quiet, beautiful place surrounded by wildlife!

 HEAVEN! We have the horses!!! We got Pepper the pony and Margie our quarter horse onto our land during the first week of January. These pics are from last week, when we opened up the front 1 acre pasture for them. They loved it after being cooped up in the corral for 2 weeks while Margie's leg was busy getting stronger! Margie has almost completely recovered; her wound is closed and last night she showed off a beautiful, floating, extended trot (as she was evading me while I was trying to get them in the barn). AND she even cantered a little, with no visible lameness. She's back to her old tricks! Good to have her back!

 And, finally, some baby faces from the big 4-month old (well, her 4 month "birthday" is Feb 3, but she's now 16 weeks old!). And my first 40 hour work week is next week. Sigh.

 Goof-ball! :)

 For the sake of comparison... here are two pics of Sophia when she was right around Kaia's age! (Like, within a week)

Sophia again...

Back to Kaia! I think it's pretty fun to check out similarities (eyebrows!) and differences (eye shape!)
