Week 4

Welcome back and happy Tuesday!  Last week was a fun and full week as you will see.  Sadly it's back to the grind this week.  At least the weather won't be too bad and there is only one basketball game so I'll take it!

Here are last week's pictures:

Day 20- Monday, 1/20/20

Bella's bed normally sits next to the fireplace which is also next to the TV and lately she's just not happy over there because her aging ears can't take the sound especially if we are watching something with exploding noises like action films or shows. To help her out we've been moving her bed closer to us and further from the noise where she feels more comfortable and she's a big fan of that.

Day 21- Tuesday, 1/21/20

First basketball game of the week.  Both games this week are home games so at least we're not out too late.

Day 22- Wednesday, 1/22/20

Today is my 50th birthday!  It seems so crazy but it's been a good ride and here's to hoping the next 1/2 century will be just as wonderful.

Day 23- Thursday, 1/23/20

Basketball game #2 of the week.  Here's Brandon at the line just after drawing a foul and he makes the shot--nothing but net.

Day 24- Friday- 1/24/20

TGIF!  After work and school we headed to Northstar to kick off my birthday ski weekend and stayed in the village at the base of the mountain which looks so pretty lit up at night.  Meanwhile Justin is in Oakland for a Genesis 7 Smash Bros competitive event with his college gaming club.  He also got to see one of his high school friends there.

Day 25- Saturday, 1/25/20

Today was a perfect weather day for skiing.  We had to remove layers at lunch and buy sunscreen on the slopes because it was so warm and sunny.  The snow was really good too so we had a great day on the mountain and then later celebrated my birthday with these amazing friends that joined us for the weekend.  Thank you to all of them for making my birthday weekend so special.

Day 26- Sunday, 1/26/20

We woke up this morning to snow falling and enjoyed watching that and taking pictures before we all headed back home.  This is such a great group and Brandon was kind enough to help us get pictures.  Poor thing was the only kid there but he was a trooper.  Then sadly, on the drive home, we learned of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant and 8 others.  What a heartbreaking tragedy for all.

That's it!  I wish it didn't have to end on such a sad note.  See you next week in a new month.
