Jere got TWO!

After missing the regular deer hunting season due to a certain little someone showing up around that time, Jere took advantage of a special extended season. He did have to jump through a few extra hoops to get in, but he did. Yesterday evening he decided to go out for a little while, and came home with two deer! We're very glad he only had to be gone for a few hours, and now we have meat for another year. What a blessing that is.

It's been colder here, with some blowing snow, etc. It's hard to keep the house warm when the wind blows right through it! But at least we're getting a little taste of winter this year. It wouldn't seem right to have spring show up on the heels of fall. . .

Dear little Leanna has been sleeping through the night fairly well until the last couple of nights when she's decided to get up a time or two to eat. I don't mind her eating more often on one hand, but then, it is good to get a full night's sleep too! Plus all of the sudden the last few days she's been drooling like crazy. Maybe teeth? Guess she is almost 3 months old and teeth could be thinking about starting their journey. She is an incredibly good baby over all--she has her moments, but then don't we all? She loves "talking" to her big brothers, and they'll often all be laughing over each other's antics. Wish we had high speed so I could post a video or so. Oh well. :-) Last night Leanna was sitting on her own! She wasn't on the floor, she was in my lap, so that adds a little extra stability, but I was surprised at how well she did. I could hardly sqeeze her into her nice dress Sunday morning, so we're already looking seriously at moving her into the 6+ month clothes! I though maybe dresses would fit longer than sleepers and boys' clothes as they aren't as fitted, but I guess the little chubby miss is only getting fatter as time goes on and she's outgrowing the dresses first!

Hooray! Tonight we're going out for a Valentine's date. I'm excited!!!!!! We of course will be doing some ordinary shopping since we're going clear to La Crosse, but it will be some rare time together none the less.
