High school teacher and girlfriend extraordinaire Nicki visited the valley this past week. 
Nicki did all the things. Horse feeding…
Tractor posing…
Nordic skiing…
Alpine skiing…
General adventuring and risk-taking…
And also care-taking.
Paul was also very tender.
Della was waiting to turn 5.
George was tired of being 3.
Paul was forced into giving them both haircuts with dull scissors mid-breakfast.
Paul and Nicki, we thank you for visiting us, and we hope you’ll soon come back.
della and george 
Cute haircuts!
