Kayaking Frenzy

Ali sat from afar while the beans enjoyed the day.

Mika did a super job on the kayak for her first time out on the 1man. She usually uses the green 2man kayak with mom. She managed to stay dry from the 62 degree water.

Dad and Markus had a challenge. Her name was Rosie. She didn't like it at first and she jumped out; she sank to the bottom. Dad jumped in and rescued her. It was Rosie's first time swimming. She did get the hang of it and could not get enough.

We had a great day at the lake and look forward to more sunny days this year!

Watkins visit the Watkins

Ali had a great time visiting her aunts in Combine. It took her a while to warm up to them but Presley was able to win her curious heart. She took a special interest in a book. We plan to make another trip to Combine soon.

Christmas galore

So much has happened over the last few weeks. Mika was in the parade. Ali visited with Santa. Markus celebrates his birthday every year on Christmas Eve. The festivities continue...

Lost cable

As soon as I find the USB cable to the camera I will upload some new pictures. Peps and Lizzy came to visit this past week and it was memorable. They sported a new look :)
Ali screamed on Santa's lap.
Our house will be done in 2 weeks.
I'm loving my 2 week break.
The news keeps growing.
