New Year

So here we are in 2013! Already we've got lots happening in our family. Let's see...

Lupi and Boompa came to visit us for Christmas! We had so much fun. They brought their dogs, Sally (the Golden) and Sooki (the little black dog) with them. As you can see from the picture we had so much fun it wore us out. But the really exciting news is that we decided to keep Sally! She had been such a good girl, we just love her.

She and Aaron are especially close. She thinks she is HIS dog and he thinks she is HIS puppy. But Sally is taking good care of all the kids. 

She is a super great babysitter. Whenever Clara goes outside Sally follows her and stays right next to her to make sure she stays safe. 

Clara likes having Sally around because now there are so many new and interesting things to chew on. 

We also got lots of presents for Christmas. They stacked up almost as high as the tree! 

Hannah has discovered a new love. She LOVES having her picture taken! While Lupi and Boompa were here she would frequently tell Boopa..."Take my picture! I'll be really cute!"

Her Mom agrees! She is really cute. The above pose and outfit are all of her own creation, and darn it she's adorable. 

Aaron is working on his science fair project. He's researching what things around the house have phosphors in them and will glow under a black light. Here he is with laundry soap smeared on his head. As you can see it sure glows!

Clara seems to be taking after her big sister Emma, she loves to sing. Here she is showing off her amazing moves. 

Speaking of Emma... she's got lots of fun going on. She just joined a Brownie Troop! Here they are at the annual cookie rally.  Not only that but Emma will also be joining a singing group soon. They will be performing at the Pima County Fair in April. 

I think that's all the news for now, love you all! See you soon.
