What a great start to the new year! In addition to celebrating our God-daughter (Rebecca)'s 5th birthday, we've welcomed a white short-haired cat, Heidi, to our family! We adopted Heidi from a local non-profit and are looking forward to having her with us.

Rebecca's 5th birthday, despite all attempts from the weather, was a great success! There was a storm here in London that took out random grids of power. Although we had power at home, the power was out at school (approx 400 m to the north of where we live) AND more importantly, at the Little Gym where Rebecca was suppose to have 15 friends over for a birthday party! Since the plaza where they're located didn't have power, Leeat had to do some quick thinking and in an instant a new party was planned for bowling! The added benefit to this plan was that there was a Dairy Queen cake involved :-)
So, Lily to try her hand at bowling for the first time! We have a great little video where Mike has to continually bring Lily back behind the line :-)

Happy 5th Birthday, Rebecca! Lots and lots of love, Aunt Pammie, Uncle Mike and Lily-Pod!

Welcome to the family, Heidi!
