New Year's and Life Choices

"What should I be when I grow up?  A tiger hunter?"


"Or a lion tamer?"


We adopted Elizabeth's cat Simon at Christmas.  Here is the first time he was comfortable enough to come out of hiding.


Dassah loves to play with her brother.


Daddy and Obi.


"Maybe I'll consider Oneirology." (study of dreams)



Look at the smile Obi had when Dassah sat down beside him!


Wearing the new boots she got for Christmas


Mommy and Obi


"Maybe when I grow up, I should be a football player."


Funny face!


So excited about the toys on his bouncy seat.


"Or maybe I'll be an Ornithologist." (someone who studies birds)


New Year's Day, we started painting the kitchen.  Dassah painted too, just not the same thing Daddy was.


We had homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast on New Year's Day.


Mike bought me a beautiful cuckoo clock for Christmas and hung it New Year's Day.


Painting the ceiling.


About a week and Simon was comfortable enough to get this close to Obi, but still hid when Dassah came around.


"Maybe I can be a cowboy!"


"Or a race car driver!"


Dassah's riding the bike she received for Christmas.


Dressed "alike".  Both are wearing zip-up hoodies.


Riding the 4-wheeler Dassah got for Christmas.  Look!  Simon is comfortable enough to be on the same floor with her!


Mostly he prefers the safety of the basement when she's awake though.


"No matter what I am when I grow up, right now I just need plenty of sleep."


"And plenty of time to play."
