Groundhog

Winter is definately finished here as our local Groundhog confirmed for us today. Hugh and I looked out of the window to see a very fat groundhog running in our backgarden.





I was too slow to get a picture of our groundhog but here is one I found on the internet - isn't he cute!

All the animals are very excited here at the nasty long cold spell here is over with and we have temperatures of 14 degrees celcius with lots of sun. The animals all think spring is here but knowing the St Louis weather we will probably be back to negative figures next week!

Firetruck Fun

Here are Hugh and Taylor having a great time on the firetruck!!

Snowing again.

Last week we had 7 inches of snow and Hugh had a great time playing with Scout in her backgarden.

Meanwhile the little ones, Piper and Taylor played indoors where it was nice and warm.

Sledging

Here is Hugh sledging between his 2 best girl friends Scout and Piper.







They had a great time in Andrea's garden sledging. The noise you can hear is Piper cheering them on from in the house.

One of the best games we played in the snow was to hide "Stegga", which is Hugh's Stegasaurus dinosaur.
