This week we have started doing some spring work. We now have carrots, onions, peas, potatoes, melons and much more in the ground.

On Tuesday we went and got our dog named Hawk. We had to put down our other dog, Brownie, since she left our yard and bit someone. Hawk is a Black Lab cross Border Collie cross German Shepherd.
The official name he came with is Hawk but each person can add their own variation: Hawkey, Hawkley, Hawkeye, etc.

Hawk has a long wet tongue and likes licking! We pray that he will be a good dog for us and for others around us!
This year Micah made a video of homeschool alumni for the 25th anniversary of Saskatchewan Home Based Educators.

In the past month we’ve gone skiing 2 times to Eb’s trails, which is just a little past Duck Lake. They have a nice number of groomed trails, some of which have a few hills. On an unkept side hill, Dad lost his balance and skiied into a pine branch, and hurt his head a bit, which you will see in the video:)
For many years we have made crafts for seniors in Rosthern. This year we made Christmas Tree decorations from recycled cards.
How to make them: Cut the picture side from a used Christmas card. Draw lines across the back and then punch holes in it and cut the strips. Stack the strips on top of each other in order and put brad fasteners into each side. On one side put a gold or silver string on the brad before putting the strips on. Bend the stack in the middle then spread to make it into a ball.
Lots of Christmas balls.
