Mid-January Report

I haven't posted on the blog in a while. Things have been a little crazy and stressful around our house for the past week or so.

This past week, we had to put our dog, Hank, down. He has been with us since Tyson and I met in college. Tyson got him from the Humane Society in Tucson, AZ when Hank was 8 months old. He's been our family dog ever since. He died of old age. He would have been 15 this coming May. Tyson was upset and so was Sarah. It's weird to walk outside and not see him anymore.

After that happened, Ben got very sick. He threw up for two days. Once he was finished and back to 100%, Sarah started to throw up.

Tyson is at University of LaVerne this entire week working on his doctorate.

Hopefully, we will all get better and I will have some fun new pictures to share soon!

Today, Tyson and I celebrated 11 years of marriage!

We went to dinner at one of our favorite places in Redlands, The Farm. We opted for the 5 course chef's tasting menu. It was fabulous! We had a fennel and beet salad, potato leek soup (my favorite...it was to die for!), an acorn squash tortellini with spaghetti squash and a beet reduction sauce, lamb and risotto (Tyson's favorite!), and a lemon curd with chocolate mousse for dessert. We had a great time talking, laughing, and enjoying the alone time together. It was a nice LONG meal with just us! (we don't get to enjoy many of those these days)!

It has become a great tradition over the last few years to spend New Year's Eve with the Reeves Family. This year was no exception! We had so much fun! We count down to the New Year at 9pm California time (which is midnight in NY) and watch the ball drop. The kids love it and so do the parents!
