Happy New Year!

This is where I ended last night...

Teaching myself a new trick!

Love my Family

They're here!

Memories

Mama made her a new strap!

One of my favorite parts of family gatherings is when my niece pulls out her guitar and sings for us!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

I'm kinda curious about these tracks.

Letting Amber break trail...

Checkin' himself out!

EVERY year she makes me wear this!

Trimming the Tree Together

Pooped Puppies

Training

I'm in!

Because I told him that it wouldn't fit down the stairway...

Yes, he proved me wrong!

Setting Tracks

Our hunt was successful again!

Making big plans...

I'll see you again this summer!

I can put my feet up again!

My new recliner has finally arrived, and I'm a happy girl. Amber appreciates that it puts my lap right at her height for easy access for attention.

Love that light!

When you slam on the brakes because you just have to get a shot, and hope that the guy in the pick-up coming up behind you has good brakes, and appreciates a pretty sky too!

Amber figured out how to get up on the couch!

Any time someone sits down...

A landscaper, perhaps?

Happy 12th Birthday, Aly!

Disclaimer: no, we did not get her a fish! Sidney was a temporary visitor and was in a room with a closed door - Aly followed me in on day, I snapped the picture 'cause it was super cute, and promptly removed her from the room. :-)

My favorite lunch dates!

They get sooooo sad when I have to leave though, that's it's really hard to go back to work!

Dining to Donate II

This evening the Nordic team held a Dining to Donate at our local Applebee's Restaurant. A portion of the cost for each delicious meal will be given to the team for their Fort Kent training trip. The kids had also gathered up some items for a silent auction, which was very popular. It was a really fun evening spent visiting with family and friends! And, we raised a lot of money for the team. Definitely a win-win situation!
