Home Sweet Trailor Home

The always crafty Keira drew up some plans and created a trailer out of cardboard for her toy horses. 

Home Sweet Home

Still feels good to come home to this every day.

 

Scenes from the Neighborhood

Iria and I went on a walk this afternoon, and the mist made everything look even more beautiful than usual.

Into the Gorge

 We took another hike into the gorge today, and made it about twice as far as last time.

Next time we will reach the end- but even in defeat we always get some good times and pictures :)

New Hampshire life

Some Christmas Pics

I was recording video the whole time, but here are a few snapshots.

 

Twas the Night Before Christmas..

 

4k Flames

 I don't know why my fire wasn't good enough, but at least they were watching it on a decent TV.

Sunday Sledding

 

 

 

 

 

Home Again

Katharine returned home from college today, and will be with us for five weeks over winter break.

She was back to playing Overwatch with her bros after a short nap.

 

 

 

Happy Birthday, Lukas!

  Lukas earned his 16 candles today, but he will have to wait until Sunday to blow them out (we delayed the birthday meal/cake until after Katharine gets back home). 

We are both so proud of how well Lukas has transitioned to the new school and lifestyle up here in New Hampshire, and we can't wait to see what path he takes next.

Time to take the "Colbert Questionert"!

The Ladies and the Ladies Man

 Today was the last day of Linda and Hannelore's visit to NH. 

We loved spending time with them again after the long Covid break, and they will be missed by everyone (especially the dog).

 

 

 

Scenes from the First Snow

 

Brotherly Love

Kassidy loves to snuggle with her Grandpa and Uncle Richard. 

Kassidy and Chavelle

 Kassidy's favorite horse is Dillon, but she has made other friends at Dusty Dog.

We were going to lease this horse, but a past tick bite that went bad has left him with some medical issues. 

He has bad days and good days, but the kids are still happy to train with him on the good ones.

 

The Three Equestrians
