Mary-Stuart is 1 today! Happy birthday little one! This picture is from Christmas when we saw her last. We miss seeing our nieces and nephew so much, but that is what happens when you live on opposite coasts. All the time when we think about staying in CA for awhile, we come back to missing out on the kids. Pretty much the entire Hawkins clan is getting together this weekend to celebrate and I wish we could be there too. She is a little shy with new people so I hope she lets everyone give her birthday kisses!The sun has shone for a little while today. Long enough for me to ride my bike to yoga and back and enjoy the trip around the bay. Even Hana was excited to go on her walk this morning and carry her stick (her new thing!). I think she is happiest when she is working- a true working dog.
Hopefully we are going to try her out with herding thanks to our new friend Jennifer and her dog, "Dude". That should be a fun blog for next week.
