March Snow Day

 We finally got our first snow day for the school year in MARCH!  We got around 17 inches followed by a blizzard.  Snow days are the best days, especially when they're tagged on to a weekend.

Official Teenager!

 Claire celebrated turning 13 by having some of her favorite things over the weekend- sushi, pad thai, bundt cakes and Costco pizza. We went to see Hoppers at the theater and she had her traditional sleepover with her friend, Brynn.  She's anxiously awaiting her new iPhone17 which should be arriving today.

ONE!

 Gus just makes life better.  HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY to our little ball of happiness and energy.  He loves all the simple things- being outside, walks, food, new toys and being around his people.  We love you, Gussy Bussy and Fleury!

Valentine's Weekend

We had the traditional heart pizza, some Caesar salad and made the viral pickle dip (yum!).  The weather was so nice, so we made lots of time to be outside and hang out in the hot tub.

12 Years of Roses

 Officially a dozen!

Surprise Visit

 Carly flew (or should I say fell?) into town for the weekend and brought the new puppy, Xena!  Best surprise!  The cousins (canine and human) all did great together.

Charlie Things

 He made another project in wood class. We've all been playing some checkers with his new board.

He had his first (of three) 2 hour session with a driving instructor.  He wouldn't let me get a picture so I snuck this one. Teenagers are dang moody. So fun teaching him to drive during this hormonal phase of life!

Graduation

 Our boy graduated puppy class.  He learned lots of new things, is whining less and hasn't escaped the yard for a long while (thanks, winter).  Good boy, GUSSY!
