VISITORS FROM BRAZIL

We took a quick trip to the ranch last week to meet up with our friends Paulo and Marcelo who were here visiting from Brazil. It was so much fun to see them even though it was so short. We got to the ranch and it was snowy and cold but it didn't stop us from venturing out on the 4 wheelers and freezing to death. We had a lot of fun visiting and catching up.

LIFE AT OUR NEW HOME

We are enjoying being in Albuquerque. Harvey and I spend a lot of our day at home so we are very glad that we have such a big yard to play in. It is great for Harvey to be able to get some of his energy out. It even snowed enough the other day so that we could build a snowman. Harvey added some extra arms and put his special touch on it. Jay on the other hand spends most of his day at school. If he has time he gets to work in his shop a little bit but he is pretty heavy in his school work. Jay has a boy after his own heart who loves to be in the shop and play with any tool that he can get his hands on especially screwbibers (as Harvey calls them). Harvey already has a good tool collection of his own that he loves. Fixing things is one of his favorite things to do.

PLAYING AT THE POND

It snowed a lot at the ranch before we left so we got to play in it a little bit. The pond is one of the only places that the water wasn't frozen so there were always a bunch of ducks there every time we went to check on the pond. We will really miss the ranch!

MORE CHRISTMAS

Harvey had so much fun with his new bike and his mini tramp that the grandparents gave him. There is bound to be something broken before long.
