January 2025

We signed Hudson up for driver's ed at Jennifer's Driving School. The classes were January 11, 12, 18 and 19th from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. He had to have a TIP card before starting the class. It is hard for me to think that we are already here! I was tearing up in the DMV 😢 He did good in the classroom and passed the written test with an 80.  We had some really cold weather around the 15th with freezing temps. We put a warming light bulb in the chicken coop. One day our neighbor texts us that the coop is smoking. It was on fire! He put the fire out. The light had fell and was touching the wood.
