Happy New Year!!
I hope you all had a delightful holiday season and are well-rested and ready to have a GREAT 2019!!
We had a really great couple of weeks! It was not super restful, but it was filled with fun stuff and good memories.
In the last week we have wrapped up another wrestling tournament and settled into life with a puppy. Things are, honestly, much better with Brutus than we expected. Yes, he's had accidents in the house. And yes, he's caused lack of sleep and extra trips up and down the stairs, but he's melded right into life at the Bovenizer house like he was born to be here. Yay! Here's a sweet picture of Beck with Brutus from tonight. I swear this is the most mellow puppy I've ever been around. I love his calm demeanor! (And hoping that the chaos around here doesn't run off on him!)
We did have one not-so-nice experience on Monday. Spencer and Quinn were in a wee accident with the Jeep. It was rainy (because it's rained SOOOOOO much this year...) and they just slid off the road. I'd assume they were going too fast, but I have an app on Spencer's phone that assures me they weren't really going that fast. It was a fluke... unfortunately they hit a road sign and messed up the hood of the Jeep. It's funny though... they are looking at this as the equivalent of "chicks dig scars" and think it gives the Jeep some character. Boys... I'm incredibly thankful that they weren't hurt (at all) and that there was no one else involved. It's a relatively painless way to learn a valuable lesson about driving and how vulnerable you can be behind the steering wheel.
This weekend we have more wrestling - times 4... the boys are gearing up for regional duals next weekend. I have my fingers crossed that the team is peaking at the right time!
Unfortunately, I'll miss regional duals because I'm heading back to Scotland on Tuesday for an MBA trip to learn about quantitative decision making. (Finally a class with math and ACTUAL right/wrong answers!!!)
I'm off for more puppy cuddles!
