A busy start to the year

It was a crazy, busy start to the year but there was definitely time for some fun. And unfortunately I’ve still be suffering with arthritis pain and some sinus pain.

Kevin & Christy went on a 3 hour horse ride. No, not on this horse :-).

There was a basketball game and a WIN by the Hawks.

And we finally got a signed jersey.

There was a visit to Jamberoo (on a very crowded day).

And I spent some time looking up at this view.

There was time for a lovely, relaxing bath.

Amy had a group of friends over for a Mafia (card game) party.

There were lots of lovely morning walks with the pups.

There was a visit to the pediatrician for Christy, who ordered another blood test, which thankfully went well for her. She’s also to do 6 weeks of a wheat free diet (which we’ll start after our holiday).

There were more Christmas cards delivered and I finally found a place to display them.

There were some unexpected visitors in the form of stick bugs.

This is me in My Little Pony form – thanks to Christy.

And this is our family pony – CAKE (Christy, Amy, Kevin & Elizabeth).

There was not enough time spent with the puppies.

And there was the handing in of forms and an interview to start the official change of Amy’s name to Athena. It’s been something she’s been wanting to do for years and we thought it best to do now before she starts getting things like drivers licenses, etc. It’s going to take some time to start referring to her and calling her Athena.
