Let's see; On New Year's Day, Emma had a New Year's at noon party with her friends where there was a celebration of toasting apple cider and noise makers when the clock struck noon (actually more like noon o'one since we had to wrangle all the kids together)
We took a trip to the zoo to see the new baby cougar. She is sooooo cute and loves to chase her mommy around their enclosure.
Emma had a winter concert where they sang 3 songs in front of family and friends. I couldn't go since I just had oral surgery that morning and as I tried to get into the car to go to the concert, I got too sick. Fortunately Glenn had both the camera and camcorder so that I could enjoy from home.
Lastly, Emma and the new neighbor dog have become quite the best friends. We go over there about once a week so her and Sophie can play. She asked me to take pictures of Sophie and has since created a shrine to her on our pantry door that includes a picture of Sophie cut into a heart and masking tape with her name on it. Goes with my decor nicely.
Lastly, I am ramping up for Hood to Coast. This is a 127 mile running relay that goes from Mt Hood all the way to the Oregon Coast. My team is being underwritten by a charity called the Ashleigh Mackay Foundation which benefits preemies and newborns. In exchange, we are all responsible for raising $1000 each. I have decided that one of my fundraisers will be selling crocheted beanie hats. You can see them in the pictures and if you can think of anyone who would like one, feel free to pass it on. I can do all sizes and colors and I am charging $15 each with all the profits going to the foundation. I am buying the yarn out of my pocket. This is a great charity, so all the help we can get would be great!
