I was well enough to do a walk and it ended up being so wonderful. I have really missed seeing the girls running.<\/p><\/div>\n

They truly love the beach and would likely spend all day out there if we let them.<\/p><\/div>\n

Only one paw down – both of them. They love to chase the birds and turn on a dime as the bird changes direction.<\/p><\/div>\n

We invited Dianne and Bob, who purchased our old home in Holiday Park to join us. They are currently in RV2. Can you see that Carlie is in the air?<\/p><\/div>\n

That is a tidal pool where the girls are and they are learning to be careful as they have been in over their heads a few times.<\/p><\/div>\n

They seem to have no fear and even run into the ocean and the waves. We do have to watch them carefully. Today the waves were higher than usual and Carlie was being been pulled back into the ocean so she stopped paddling and started leaping forward. Colin was close by and would have rescued her. Happy that she is figuring it out on her own.<\/p><\/div>\n

The twins bring us such joy. We can’t believe how much their behaviour has changed and grown over the past several months.<\/p><\/div>\n

Christmas Eve we had our party leftovers and did the same again on the 25th. We were too tired to cook our regular Christmas meal and made the decision to celebrate Christmas on the 26th. Why not! We were still worn out and decided do what we wanted when we wanted to, so we had a relaxing few evenings watching Christmas movies and snuggled our girls. Christmas waited for us.<\/p>\n
