Cold but action packed week






This week was cold...super cold by the end of it, but full of events. Tuesday, Sabrina and Julie along with Grandpa to the Newport Aquarium. Sabrina kept repeating "fish" and running from fish tank to fish tank. We think her favorite exhibit was the clear tunnel that went into a shark/ large fish exhibit with theability to see sharks/ fish through the floor, sides, and ceilings of the tube. Of course on the way home, snow flakes mixed in with the rain to give the entire trip a sense of adventure.
Wednesday, the cold adventure part of the week started with Sabrina unlocking the front door at Grandma and Grandpa's h
ouse to let Annie, their German Shepherd, out for a run in the snow. Snow must be in her top ten listing of favorite things.
Needless to say, she could not be captured but returned through the front door when she was done with her tour of the neighbor's yard.
By Thursday, the snow really fell and we actually had a chance to build a small snowman complete with fern tie, stick arms, carrot nose and red western hat! Friday, the snowman was still standing but a bit wilted. With temperatures dropping into the teens tonight, he might be with us in some form for a few days.

Elusive Belt Girl

Today we are thankful that Sabrina did not hurt herself when she wiggled out of the safety belts on her backpack. We were returning from a walk and looking at the plants in the front yard, when the backpack suddenly got lighter and the next thing we saw was Sabrina hitting the pavement on the paved walkway. Thankfully, she landed on her side and does not appear injured. Randy noted that she did not hit her head but landed mainly on her side hip. After checking her entire body over, we are sighing a huge relief as the fall was about five feet....

Sabrina loves bouncing like Tigger. Last weekend she spent lots of time bouncing with her dad! What joy!
