We had a great time in Manitowoc for Christmas but are glad to be home to ring in the New Year! We have lots of snow in Boulder Junction and our little Mika is sure enjoying it as much as we are. Jay is out skate-skiing at Razorback trails in Sayner this afternoon. We went together on Thursday night and 30 minutes was enough of a workout for me. Jay, however, could have done "10 times that". So he will, but just not with me :).
Mika and I are at home hanging out. We went and visited our neighbors, Brandt and the Iltis' and got to play with their chocolate lab, Caramel. I am about to make a fire and settle down with a good book. This is the first weekend we have been home in a long time and I aim to make the best of it and actually relax a bit.
Please enjoy the pictures of our Mika from the last couple of days...
Mika got her first bath and loved every minute of it. Before her bath we wouldn't let her in the bathroom because we didn't want her drinking out of the toilet...now we can't keep her out of there. This morning when Jay was brushing his teeth Mika snuck past me and ran into the bathroom and jumped in the tub. We couldn't stop laughing. She might have liked it because Jay fed her 3 treats while she was in the tub with me.
Jay demonstrating cross-country skiing for Mika. She is a very attentive student but was a little nervous about actually going with him around the yard. So, we went for a long walk on the frozen lake and through the snow drifts. After our walk we went over to Coon's to play with Ebb, their golden retriever. Mika was exhausted by 1:00 and took naps for the rest of the day. Having Brooke and Jay home for the weekend is really tiring on her. We had a lot of fun tiring her out and even more fun watching her dreaming on the rug in the early evening. Here are a few highlights of our walk:
Mika smells something good...
Dig, dig, dig...
Mika bounding through the deep stuff.
This is one happy puppy :)
