Our Pets and the Night Sky

Sassy Belle. The paw!

She loves to get on the trampoline.

Walker got some astronomy binoculars for Christmas and he really likes them! Here are some of our photos, taken with the iPhone pressed up against the front lens. The circle shape is not a planet; it's the rear lens...but it looks like a planet. :)

With the binoculars, we can see SO much more than we can with the naked eye.

Again, NOT a planet. :)

Walker also drew this shoe for art class at school. Impressive, right?

Walker, Nico, and Gracie...on the way to school :)

January! So far...

What we've been up to...

Our Foose.

Terrible photo, but this is just to document my shoulder injury. On New Year's Eve, I took Gracie on a bike ride (like I normally do) and she saw a bunny and pulled me down. Thankfully I was wearing a helmet, so my head - while it hit the ground - didn't get hurt, but I ended up injuring my shoulder pretty badly. After a trip to the Emergency Room, I learned that I separated my shoulder - a grade 3 separation. I've been in a sling for the past three weeks. So far, I've seen a TON of improvement! I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel (finally!).

Walker and Ben completed the Lego "Home Alone" house. As usual, they have a lot of fun building Lego sets together. They're working on the Titanic now. :)

fun at the local fair...Walker with Jacob and Josh

Lainey with Gianna

Gracie, the only dog left in the dog park, in the pouring rain, refusing to leave. She responds to most commands, but "Come" is not one of them. She has no idea what it means. We need to work on that one. She also hates to leave social situations; she loves, loves, loves the park.

my favorite little paws

And! Lainey started at a new school! She had a mild case of covid at the beginning of January, so she began at her new school on January 18th. She is liking it so far and we're so thankful!

Here she is with our across-the-street neighbors, Jenna and Camryn.

too cute :)

Happy January!

Christmas Break!

What a relaxing, restful, just-the-right-amount-of-fun break we have had!

We saw some Texas friends on Christmas Eve! They were staying in Palm Beach...about an hour north of us. So of COURSE we had to go see them!

Lainey with Camilla...they danced together in Texas!

We went to a darling Methodist church on Christmas Eve. We'd like to go back! Afterwards we went to eat at Benihana. :) We've now done this two years in a row!
