Winter weather

We have about a half inch of freezing rain outside that is supposed to turn to snow at any moment. I like the snow so I eagerly await. And I just brought another load of wood into the house so I will be toasty. Greyson and I went out on date night last night without the girls. We had two friends over to watch the girls for us. Apparently they are into the "strager danger" phase because Samia screemed with fear whenever they got near her. So after 20 minutes of trying to settle her down we decided to just leave and hoped our absense would help the situation. Apparently it did as she calmed right down and they both went to sleep without even crying. We had a nice dinner and yes, talked about our girls and the things we forgot to tell the sitter, like which crib belongs to which girl. Typical first time parents, we know.

Our chickens finally started laying, so we now have 3 eggs a day. I think the babies will start getting some egg yolks soon. We have been making all of their baby food so far and that has worked out pretty well. Not too much effort if we make a big batch and freeze it for later. Samia is teething now. We see two tiny teeth coming in on the bottom. She is a bit fussy and drooling but hopefully since the teeth are through she will start feeling better soon. Piper has been just an angel lately.

Now it is raining. It will get a nice wet base to make a sheet of ice for the snow to lay on.....
