Happy New Year!

We did the usual to celebrate- year in review, homemade pizza, dessert and streaming a Phish show. Claire has been quite the baker lately and made us a delicious dessert.  She loves when I take pictures of her baking.

Gussy's Neuter

Gussy is on the mend after his surgery on Tuesday.  Lindsey and I went shopping while the boys were in for the big procedures.  Lucky dogs.

Christmas 2025

 Full of food, fun and memories to add to the memory vault.

Gussy School

 Gussy is taking a puppy class at Courteous K9.  So far, he does best when he's busy. Loves to whine and not pay attention when he has any second to get distracted. BUT he did better than the first session, so there's that.  Fleury is also going to this class. He's much calmer :)

Christmas Traditions

 We went for the annual Christmas cruise and then played a couple new games.  Claire put the presents under the tree, like she always does while begging to open an early one.

Christmas Preparations

 The house is ready and so is GUSSY!

My favorite part is going through all the ornaments that we've collected over the years.  This is just some of them...

Woodworking Class

 Charlie's taking a class where he learns to work with wood and make a few different things.  So far, he made a light switch cover and this charcuterie board/cutting board that we put to use right away.

Charlie's Buck

 Charlie got one!  I love hearing the stories to go with it.

- First deer with the 12 gauge

-Shot it by the pond during the night hunt

-Dropped him with one shot

-Gutted it himself with Caiden's coaching

-Plans to get tons of jerky made
