And, One Becomes Three

Aaron here!  We had occasion to stop in our local pet shop, Hooves & Paws, to view the animals.  While we were admiring a beautiful black & white cat I noticed a flyer on the bulletin board reading, "FREE GUINEA PIGS."  Now, Jamie & Lorelei have been asking for another "skinny pig" as our time with Oreo has been so joyful.  It was never something I thought I could support for many reasons.

I walked over by myself to check out the flyer that offered (2) guinea pigs, a cage, accessories, and food all for FREE to a good home.  I knew that I was never going to be able to "un-see" this flyer.  Furthermore, I knew I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't tell Jamie about it.  I decided to simply say to her - "there's a flyer over there offering free guinea pigs" and let the chips fall where they may.  Sure enough, a week or so later we added Clover & Rose to our family!

She's Back !!!

Princess Present Birthday Cake has made her annual appearance again. She is being a bit mischievous this year !!

Thanksgiving Weekend !!

Our Thanksgiving weekend consisted of a turkey dinner at Grandmama's and Papa's, Black Friday shopping, a visit to Skyzone, and Lorelei even got to do her first Body Pump class. 

Too Much Candy !!!!! LOL !!!!

On Halloween night, we also did our annual candy dump, sort, and count. Lorelei had 623 pieces of candy (not including ones she already ate) !!!

Halloween Weekend !!

Halloween weekend was JAM-PACKED with LOTS of trick or treating, parades, dressing up, Trunk or Treat (where we took 2nd place) and even helping in Mama Jamie's cycling class.

Cross Country Season

Lorelei has a great first cross country season. Last weekend, she had her final competition and again was to run a 3K. She shared with us that she had a personal goal and wanted to be under what she did last time, which was 22 minutes. Not only did she do that, she crushed that goal and came in at 19:07 !!! Such an incredible improvement !!!

Nailed It Challenge--Part 2

Last weekend, Lorelei and Daddy Aaron did another Nailed It challenge. This one was a little easier as this was a kit we purchased in the store. But, it still had some challenges !!
