We ended 2012 with Jeff still recovering, and trying to get back to normal.  A little more than a month after being at home he had gained 20+ pounds, and was off the TPN.  Jeff's been out of the hospital two months.  He's still has moments when his blood pressure gets low.  He's still recovering, but doing much better.
Ada is so fun!  She's talking constantly, singing a lot, asking questions, and wants to do everything herself.  This week she has had her first ear infection, which hasn't slowed her down much at all.
We are getting back in project mode around here.  We have been readying the garden for Spring and Summer.  We started on our fire pit project. We're just making it more of a focal point.  We hope to be adding a bee hive.  Yep, we're beekeepers now.  We also have swing that we want to add, which will hopefully have a kiwi trellis on the side.
Photography has been put on the back burner for a while.  I actually haven't taken many of Ada recently.  We'll get back to pursuing it with more vigor eventually, and it's not anything I'd say no to, if someone would like to hire me at the moment either.  I miss it a ton!  Until then we will carry one having fun....like eating popsicles with our swimsuits over our clothes. :)
