2013

Well, the new year got off to a slow start here.  The girls got sick just before Christmas and 18 days later, I feel like we are finally creeping out of it.  Clara was the sickest of all - with a course of steroids and 2 rounds of antibiotic for her.  She spent almost a week on the couch looking like this...

Poor thing had a rough time of it, but she learned a few new tricks with all of her downtime - there's a new "shoe-tying sheriff" in town!  She was super excited to learn to tie a bow and was immediately ready to go out and buy a new pair of shoes with laces to tie!

We did have a chance to briefly ring in the new year at our neighbor's home...on London time (7 pm) of course!  We had all the makings of a proper New Year's party...the "ball" drop, balloons, and lots of bubbly!  :)

Looking forward to all 2013 will bring!
