Round 3 on this dumb ankle and a bakers dozen all around for orthopedics. Fun two weeks start now. Lol. Not really at all

Nerve block slowly wearing off but pain well managed. This cast is huge I think the doc upped his cast game in 18 months lol. Ziva is whining and giving me side eye because Calian finally figured out how to chew a bone with his cone on and she is to lazy to find her own. ❤🐶🐶  🐎🥔🛖🎖📈🌩

Jakob doing a great job helping out!

They keep stalking me!

When I move my computer this is what my lap looks like. I think someone wants to play.

Trying this tonight with the dogs. We are trying  to stimulate their brains more especially Calian being so young. To give him more work. Their dinner is hidden all over the mat and they have to sniff and find all the food. They say 10 minutes of nose work is like an hour walk. Lol. We will  see how long it takes them. And we can trade mats to keep it interesting. So far we are over 10 minutes and they are both still working.

Seriously  my children need to play with the dog!

Ziva is toast after a full day at daycare. 💜🐶

Calian- "your home and in 5 minutes will bring you 4 different toys and try to sit on you."

Ziva-"your home. I'll be upstairs sleeping please leave me alone unless it's to play ball or go for walk"

Last Saturday Jakob and his team and coach went to the Tacoma Stars game (part of the major arena soccer league)  they got to go on the field with other local club teams at half time for recognition. Jakob had a blast and the Stars got a win!!

Julia took the boys to elevated sports. All three of them had fun. Jakob loved working on his parkour flips and Max talked the staff into holding the plug in the wall so he could do the tornado machine. 🤣

The princess enjoying her fire and a chew toy. 💜🐶

Goggle had sent this kit for making a couple of Christmas themed crafts.  I managed to put them together to make this Gnome for Hanukkah

With the littlest!

Ziva loves the dog bed right by the heater vent

SNOW!!  It snowed off and on the entire second week of break.  The boys had new sleds and would spend hours at the school sledding and spending time with friends

Boba tea out with dad!

Winter edition of the train at home program.  They are doing a national leader board.  Jakob is in second place across the board.  Such great recognition for his hard work.
