The new year is off to a great start. Busy too! The kids started the year off with Broomball on January 1st. Bug lost a toenail, but there were no broken bones. Yay!

The Man just turned 16 and Bug is now 18. Where does the time go?!  For Man's birthday, we went to the mall for Mongolian BBQ (as usual). I tried to talk him into steak or seafood but he wanted to stick with his annual pilgrimmage to the mall; a place he will never venture into unless Mongolian BBQ is included in the shopping spree. Bug had slightly more expensive tastes and we ended up at the Lazy Dog Cafe with Scott and the Velascos, complete with a Dog Bowl Sundae for the birthday girl at meal's end. And of course we all had to use the restrooms just to check out the little "sluice" faucets. haha
