Hello everyone! It’s been almost 3 months since the last post… Things in Our Bear House have been progressing!
Updates:
– Tim began his new journey as a health inspector! He has been regaling me with tales of infestations, food violations, and surprisingly clean eateries! (Tip: the cleanest places to eat are chain restaurants!)
– Sara is finally starting clinicals for school! Sports physicals and yearly check-ups, here I come!
Nguyen Family Christmas at Ben and Jane’s:
This year, we had our Nguyen Family Christmas at Ben and Jane’s house! It was a great time and our Annual White Elephant (theme: snacks!) was so much fun. Never mind the part where I stole a box of lychee from a 2-year old..
Momma’s birthday:
Our family dinner at her favorite teppanyaki place! They made her wear a sumo hat!
Soda Springs Tahoe Trip 2019:
This winter the rain has been in abundance and the snow in Tahoe has been choice! We were able to get away on MLK, Jr. Weekend to enjoy a few days in the snow. It was a veritable blizzard on Sunday, but we had a great time!
Casey in the snow for scale
Serene Lakes all covered with snow!
Winnie was less a fan of the snow than Charlie..
Charlie LOVES the snow!!
Royal Gorge Cross Country Ski Resort
Brothers!
The day after the storm
Val’s 70th Birthday:
It was also my MIL’s 70th birthday! We did a quick weekend road trip to NorCal to spend time with Tim’s family. It was such a nice time and really great that Tim got to spend time with his family! All this recent rain really made the drive home down the 5 freeway pleasant and interesting. It just flew by!
Surprise dinner at the Boca Tavern
The 5 freeway never looked so green!
You can see rain in the distance!
Bear Garden Update:
A few weeks ago we had some potatoes in our pantry that oversprouted and since our planter box has been empty all winter, I asked Tim to stick some of the potatoes in the soil. They were looking rather alien. This is the result three weeks later!
They are growing in an odd pattern..
And that’s it! Some brief updates, but hopefully everyone is having a great start to the new year. Yesterday was the Lunar New Year of the Pig, so chức mừng năm mới and gung hay fat choy!
Until next time,
Sara
