The Nutcracker, part I

 

 The boys were able to see The Nutcracker for the first time, before their own upcoming performance in the ballet. I loved being able to look into the orchestra, and to see how the dancers performed to even the smallest chime that came from the triangle.

a sweet girl

 

When she is calm, she is quite a sweet girl. I know she is still a puppy, but my, she's so wild at times.

Eoghan went hunting with mom, and his great uncles. This beautiful bunny was dinner for them.

I hope I never see something like this out in the woods, actually maybe I would.

Miss Puss

Jonas' cat Miss Puss, a present from a little friend on his last birthday. I think he likes her even more, because he helped put her together (she was a puppet kit). I love how Miss Puss changes expressions when his does, in every picture.
