Merry Christmas and Happy New year! We are at the tail end of our winter holiday and enjoyed our break tremendously. It was busy with travels up and down the East coast visiting with family and friends. Ada was a star in the car and seemed to enjoy seeing all of the new places. We enjoyed catching up with all of the folks we saw and feel fortunate to have the time to make the trips. Below is a slide show containing some of the pictures from our holiday!

Things have been busy over the last couple weeks. Ada crawls at a remarkable pace and is growing more steady on her feet. She is echoing words and seems to pick up something new almost every day! We had our first snow (that stayed) and she loved to see the big flakes coming down. She looks adorable bundled up in her blue down jacket!

Cappy had her surgery and it went as well as could be expected. In addition to the large ruptured cyst, the vet also took off a second growth on her leg that was starting to increase in size. She has been a pretty good sport about wearing the neck cone... but some of the stitches in her leg came out. We took her back into the vet and she now has thee shiny staples holding the wound closed... we might as well be wrapping twenty dollar bills around her legs!

One week left before the school dismisses for Winter Break!

Some pictures from our Thanksgiving break!
