Post Christmas

Following time-honored English tradition - or at least Stacey tradition - we took a walk on Boxing Day.

Sadly, Cora no longer enjoys going for walks or hiking. It's like pulling teeth to get her to join. She prefers doing D&D stuff at home, inside. I hope she changes back to the outdoorsy girl she used to be, as she continues to grow up.

Anyway, we had a nice time together at Quigley Canyon.
Violet enjoyed her Christmas presents - she made a crystal hedgehog, and she carved her soapstone elephant that Nan and Pop sent her. She then used Christmas money to buy another soapstone carving kit.
Stace was off the week after Christmas. We got a lot of rain that week!
Violet and Stace worked on sailing a little boat down our gutter river.

Stace grew another beard, and then shaved an interesting facial hair look before going cleanshaven.
A cooper's hawk has discovered our bird feeder! See it here on the fence? 
 
Cora captured this photo a couple of days later, the hawk hanging out in the bush near the feeder.
