The snow is melting now, but we had LOTS of it. I know it wasn't as bad as in some other areas of the continent, but still.

Since last time, Sinéad has been baptised and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was a wonderful special day and occurred on 27 January. My dad and Kim's parents were able to come out for it. And my mum and two youngest siblings who live here were at it as well.

Sinéad is also now officially finished Gamma in Math U See. So we are progressing to Delta. Yes, very exciting. Regan is reading lots now, and learning new words very well. Aisling is climbing more and more and continues to think she is a few years older than her actual 16 months.

Another exciting event in our household was the birth of three kittens in Tuesday 13 February. They are grey, black and tabby grey/black respectively. We need to find a home for our non female cat, Diego. That is proving more difficult.

On Wednesday we went to Aggie Days

Oh it was a blast! The children learned so much, got to experience a lot of wonderful agricultural activities. Saw a cow being milked, a sheep being sheared, baby chicks, pigs, miniature horses, a goat, calves.  Learned how potatoes and canola oil are produced, grown and used and to climb up on big farm machinery. It really was a great educational experience for my city (albeit small city) bred children. We are surrounded by a huge agricultural area, but don't experience it often enough. It was good.
