Same old same old

 Not much exciting is happening around here. Work, school, daycare and preschool, all the regular stuff we do on repeat.

It is also still winter here, and will be for quite some time. This means outdoor activities are somewhat limited, especially for me. Depending on how snowy it is, how icy, and how much the snow has frozen into icy, bumpy, uneven ground, I can sometimes go out, and sometimes can’t. If the weather is too cold and windy, no one can go out. We had a few of those days last week.

However, today the weather was lovely – sunny and relatively warm for a winter day. And as long as it is not too cold, we can enjoy our backyard. And I have to say, I don’t think I have seen the kids enjoy the backyard any more than they did this afternoon.

Toothless

 Maren lost both of her two front teeth this week. She lost the first one on Friday at school, and the second one just before bed last night.

After several nights in a row of poor sleep due to constant tooth wiggling, I am hopeful that tonight she will sleep soundly ❤️

That Darn Cat!

 Tuesday night with that Puck might be dying. He was very lethargic, and we came home to huge yellow bile pukes all over the house. And I really mean all over, like in 10 different places. After all he has been through, I thought this might be it. So I was really sad and we ended up all going to the vet just in case we had to say goodbye. 

However, it seems that he was just incredibly constipated. It’s hard to know exactly what happened, but after multiple x-rays and examinations, he was determined to be OK, and now he is totally fine. I don’t know what we are going to do with him. I just hope that as he gets older things settle down!

And here are some pictures of kids in the snow, because after that everyone deserves a break 🤣

Artiste

Linden is turning into quite the artist: 

She calls this one Person with a Suitcase. She also has really taken off when it comes to writing. She has been playing school a lot, and put up this sign:

It is awfully fun to see her growing and learning ❤️

Happy new year! 🥳
