skiing at bachelor

skiing with grandma and cousins. matt was ready! wore his helmet on the drive up the mountain. when we got there though a little unsure - he did do 4 or 5 runs before calling it quits - mostly skiing inside my skis though. kaitlyn doing great she liked dilly dally alley (renamed candy cane lane for the moment).

sara

well i admit, i am a cat person. hamish was a good dog, but i really haven't minded being dogless for the past two years. kaitlyn has wanted a dog though and recently tony chimed in that he might be interested. and i have told kaitlyn that if the right dog came along that needed to be rescued we would consider it. well meet sara a 3year old addisonian choc lab/pointer/something. her previous loving family opted to give her up due to the cost of care in her crisis and lifelong ongoing care for her addison's. and she is really super sweet and older and trained and good with cats and matt likes her and is not afraid of her. so we are no longer dogless. the cats are thrilled.
