Shorts in January???

I know I can't believe it either.... Shorts in January. Today was in the upper 60's. This morning they were saying it might reach 70 but I never checked to see if it actually did. It sure was nice outside.

Yesterday it was really nice too. I hadn't even noticed what kind of day it was yesterday when Ashlie came home from school. She immediately starting opening the doors and the curtians. She even went out on the deck to do her homework. While there she heard some rustling and looked up to see these deer running into the trees. By the time I grabbed my camera they were too far into the woods so you can't see them very well. Where the bottom of the picture is is the end of our backyard. So they reallly aren't that far away. I kept checking today to try and get a picture of them, but they were still hanging out too far into the trees. My friend, Tanya, keeps talking about the deer at their cabin. I have them right here in my backyard. What is so amazing is we really are in the city. Not even a mile away is I-95, the interstate between Baltimore and Washington, DC. We have freeways all around us. But there is such an abundance of trees here it is very common to see deer, rabbits and even turtles. Yes Turtles!!!

Today I was really busy trying to get things done around the house. Dalton and Caitlynn were being so good playing. When I went to check on Caitlynn this is what I found. She had fallen asleep while sitting up playing with her toys. Priceless!!!
