2016 Begins

Not for us with midnight celebrations of the New Year

but enjoying the Panama crew until Jan.7th when they returned home.

 Nibbles joyfully welcomed Gwen.

Then we got to watch Maddie graduate to a green belt.

 

We celebrated Jess' big 40th on the 14th! 

Had the M's for the night when Sam and Jess escaped to Vegas for her 40th.

The next morning we migrated to the studio

 

where Toby, a week or so before, discovered his handy talent for sanding furniture,

 

I for painting,

 

  
and now the M's for 

creating stripes, creatures, a giant peach, and an inspirational saying on the back of my desk!

Plus, a great visit from the Feinsteins.

  

Wow--a Toby hug from Lea!
