3 week post surgery

I got the stitches out with no problem.  The nerves aren't really connected, so I can't feel much.  Everything seems to be going well.  Still can't run for three more weeks.  I was hoping to be able to start running again, but will have to walk for now. 

Powerball is up to 1.3 billion!!!  What?!?!  I have never seen it that high.  It is fun to talk about what you could do with that kind of money.  So far the kids and I have decided to buy a couple of houses (one on the beach of course), a new car, and we all would have a segue.  The segue is what Roman wanted for Christmas---he got a Rip Stick instead.  :)

So far, 2016 has treated us well.

Christmas Break

Our Christmas break was so fun.  Filled with food, candy, family, presents, laughter, tears, road trips, building sand castles, walks on the beach, cheese tasting, late nights, lazy mornings, long talks, chocolate, Mythbuster marathon, movies, origami Yodas, Star Wars, friends, dancing, cuddles, cleaning, organizing, hauling boxes. sledding and just spending time together!  IT WAS GREAT!

Roman and his cousins, Josh and Colton, playing a little "candy poker".

A beautiful day at Rockaway Beach, OR.

Finally able to get her hands on the last book of the series.  She stayed up until 2:00am finishing it.



Fun with the girls-Meg, Ranelle, me and Mom

Hot tub at night, watching the stars.



Ranelle came up with a "treat bag" pulley since our window had such easy access to the hot tub.

LOVED the Tillamook Factory!! 



Watching the whole cheese packaging process was mesmerizing.   The ice cream was creamy and delicious.  We voted the Horchata our favorite!

We definitely needed this vacation to the beach.  Aaahhhh...Nothing beats that view.
Happy New Year!
