He really misses trees.

And to think I used to worry I'd be overprotective.

Kids and Wolves

Wolfwood Refuge brought their wolves and wolf-dogs to a nearby town this weekend, and the little kids had a chance to love on many wolf-dogs and learn more about wolves from the educational talk. Wolfwood Refuge has 77 wolves and wolf-dogs altogether.


With Trinity, a wolf-dog with half wolf, half Malamute:








With Bronte, another wolf-dog. This dude is huge!









With Willow, another wolf-Malamute, a giant lap dog:

Red-headed Lions

(The boy's wild locks are resisting taming.)

Kool-Aid Head

Mix one packet of kool-aid with just enough conditioner to form a paste. Saturate hairs of choice, and keep covered for several hours or overnight. Rinse and done!

A Strong Young Tree

Check out my 8-year-old singing a family favorite... (With big sis hosting the show.)

River Sprites

Motel Sleepers

Leo and Sophie started out on opposite ends of the bed (laying cross-ways), but ended up snuggled together in the middle.






And Marian slept in the walk-in closet. (Boy, was I shocked to see a walk-in closet!)


I love my kids!

(Leo got his cast off the next morning.)_
