if the hat fits...

Hello my fantastic family,

The weather is bright and sunny (no snow my Alberta and Saskatchewan polar bears) we've walked to the coffee shop three times this weekend (mommy and daddy are getting very little sleep, they think baby Xanna and I are tag teaming throughout the night) and then mommy's loop to daddy's trees (see how we take ownership of everything we like?) and picking acorns that the squirrels didn't want.

We've also had a small taste of day light savings!  Mommy was almost out the door this morning on our way to church before daddy even woke up, all because she didn't realize the clocks were wrong.  What a surprise when we told her (of course baby Xanna and I knew, that's why we kept her up so much last night, she could have slept in had she been more on the ball:)

We've been having a lovely time fitting in around here, people wear very nice hats, so we thought we should to.  This one belongs on my snow suit, but as we have NO SNOW (YIPPEEEEEEE), we just play with the top and leave the rest in the closet.  Is it wrong to boast of dry land?  hee hee

Mathey still limps at night, we didn't take him for a w-a-l-k today in hopes of his fast recuperation.  Daddy's uses it to God's glory, as when he can't get to sleep he can pray for his pooch while he watches the minutes on his new alarm clock tick past.

Mathey is still happy and bouncy, he doesn't seem bothered by his hip apart from the limp.  Not even hats bother Mathey.  Mommy's started giving him salmon bones to munch (there's no gramma's here to eat them for her- hee hee) but now, whenever she even opens the can he's there to welcome the smell.  I wait for her to holler at him and then laugh like crazy.  Daddy missed hollering at him on our walk today, Mathey fills our lives with so much:)

One more week and daddy gets a few days off.  He and mommy prayed about what wild adventure to go on, with their coveted few days, and the Heavenly Counselor has wisely told them to go.....
ready for it?....
NO WHERE.  They are staying put.  We are staying put. No over nighters, we hope to visit a little family and friends for day, but home again in the evening.
One more week until daddy stays home.  That is a comforting hot chocolate kind of thought.

I love you all
Benjamin
