Back in the Saddle

He took right to it! I volunteered to go with him the first time, but because I ran down stairs to progress the laundry, he couldn't wait for me and went out and got on all by himself. Andy pulled him around for almost an hour.

They both had a great time! The accident is a thing of the past - the healing of Jansse's face is progressing nicely, with most of the swelling gone, and the scrapes healing without any sign that they will cause scarring. I think the use of neosporon several times a day has really contributed to successful healing - we ought to be a commercial!

I did go for a couple of spins around, but no photos because there was nobody to work the camera. Just as well, it probably wasn't me at my best!

Today, just to top themselves, Jansse and Andy did the red neck sledding but with Jansse learning to do it on his snow board - a challenge, but the boy is not discouraged. Probably won't be long before he's doing that well. Andy wants to buy a ski rope instead of using the tug'em

strap as we've been doing. That way Jansse will have an easier handle to hold on to. Right now they are using a set of ski poles slid through the loop of the tug'em strap - just to make sure it is red neck enough of a sport!

We're winding down the year. Should be pretty smooth sailing from hear on out. No company, only two social outings - dinner at Carin's and a play date on Monday. We'll be home and snug and in bed early for New Years Eve, just the way we like it!
