Professor Lupin

One day he thinks he's a cat (curling up in their bed every chance he gets). 

Other days he wishes he were a chicken (he stares at them longingly in the back yard, wishing they would just give him a chance and see how fun he really is).

Most days, though, he's content just being our Zoe's dog.  

This moment

Happy Birthday my love...

Katherine

My tree climbing, music making, reading, Papa lovin', knitting, artist, up for anything, beautiful big sister, right hand girl to mama.  Welcome to your twelfth year with us.  

Oh how you are loved.

The priest (aka Papa):  Blessing the chickens.  There is nothing like fresh eggs and those birds are pretty cute too.  (Now if we can just convince our new dog that chickens don't like to play-unless your name is Zoe.)
Thea:  Taking advantage of the morning sunlight.
Katherine:  If there is a spare five minutes, she is at the piano.  I love it.  
Zoe:  Her maternal instincts are on overdrive right now with our (her) new animals.  I don't think they mind.

S' pradznikom!

Blessed and Joyous feast of Theophany!

“When Thou wast baptized in the Jordan, O Lord, the worship of the Trinity was made maifest;
for the voice of the Father bare witness to Thee, calling Thee His beloved Son.
And the Spirit in the form of a dove confirmed the certainty of the world.
O Christ our God, Who hast appeared and hast enlightened the world,
Glory be to Thee!”
