Starting Our 5th Year

Our first post in our first-full-year of blogging was January 1, 2011.  So today we begin our 5th year.

We did a web search for “developmental milestones for the 5th year”. While we did not find any for a blog, we did find …

Skills your child may achieve in her/his 5th year include being able to:
 
•             Stand on one foot for more than 9 seconds
•             Do a somersault and hop
•             Walk up and down stairs without help
•             Walk forward and backwards easily

Maybe we can apply some of this at John’s Island.


We almost did a somersault and hop (unintentionally) to get the photo below. (Please click to enlarge)

The Sun Ranch
Rocky Mountains of Montana
Late December, 2014
We like to start the year as pure as the driven snow and there was plenty of that where we snapped the photo. Also, the moon was rising above the mountains (look closely) and we took that as a good omen for the year ahead. There's also a good fence in there so we can link up with Good Fences.

We hope to see you stopping by John’s Island often. Happy New Year to you.
