It has been a whirlwind of activity these past couple of months in the Patsch household. We had to say goodbye to Gracie at almost 13 years old, which was emotional for everyone. This is a great book, if you ever have to explain a dog passing to your kids. We then set off for New Paltz, New York to visit Oma and Opa and actually made it into the city with Hudson and Larkin! After that we had our first real snow of the season here in Crozet, complete with school cancelled, snowmen, and sledding. The next day it was 65 degrees and all the snow melted, but at least we had that day! Gracie's passing prompted a total redesign of our office. We painted the walls, ripped up our disgusting carpet, and Gregor installed wood floors (yes, he is sooo handy... he even managed to finish the floors after he had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled!). My mom and mikie came in for the weekend and helped us finish up the office (yay Designer Debi and Super Handy Mikie... you did a fantastic job!) just in time for Larkin's 6th Birthday Party (Cheerleaders and Cupcakes... yes, Larkin picked that theme herself). After all my stress and anxiety that the office wouldn't be done and the call for thunderstorms all day, Larkin's party was actually a great success. The girls were all sooo adorable! Click on the Patsch Videos Link to see some of the Cheer Videos from the party. Finally, we wrapped up the maddness with Gregor's 34th birthday yesterday, complete with a birthday breakfast at Cracker Barrel, throwing rocks at Sugar Hollow, and dinner out. All in all a success!
