Happy Holidays!

We hope that all of our family and friends celebrated a wonderful holiday season and that you all have a very Happy New Year! We hope that 2013 brings you lots of joy, love and happiness.

 Zoe will be 13 years old in March and she's been a part of our family for 8 years now. She's beginning to lose her hearing, but otherwise, she's in great shape and has lots of puppy-like energy.

Sophie is 4 1/2 years old and attends preschool three days a week, in addition to daycare. She will start Kindergarten next Fall. Sophie's best stuffed animal pal is Lotso Bear, from Toy Story 3. She got him from Disney Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World and they've been inseparable since. Sophie loves to swim, do gymnastics, color & paint and watch movies.

Jack is 2 1/2 years old and he loves pirates, tractors, trucks and trailers. He enjoys helping Dad with projects around the house like picking up leaves in the Fall, hanging up Christmas lights on the house and fixing things. Jack will start preschool next Fall. Jack is a cuddler and is always willing to cozy on the couch under a blanket and give out hugs and kisses.

One highlight of 2012 was our month-long trip to Malaysia and Thailand. We ate tasty Thai, Chinese, Indian & Malay food, visited with friends and family and enjoyed lots of swimming, playing and time in the sun.
