January was a cold, gray month at the farm! We were inside more than out -- Mourning the end of the NFL season, unpacking boxes galore, watching a major bathroom renovation take shape, and occasionally getting out with the pups to explore and play. They are growing fast and have distinct personalities. I sure do love those dogs!

Mom and dad sold their house in Havre De Grace last week. It is kind of shocking how much has changed in the last 12 months, but all of this change, for the most part, is for good so we live in the present and occasionally look toward the future and in the meantime are so thankful for how things have worked out.

I am hoping to write here once a week in February - I hope you'll help keep me accountable!
