It was a tough 2013, and we were happy to let it pass.  Dora and I planned to stay up past midnight, but Stuart did not think we could manage as we often fall asleep earlier.  We prepared with lots of snacks; we ended up watching two videos, and stayed awake until 1:30am.

    Today we went to the park for some exercise.  We continue our effort to get Logan on the bike for more practice.  He was riding fine, but was very worried to go fast at all.  Connor was doing great riding Logan’s old bike.  He did complain about his bottom hurt after a couple of rounds but he did not mind to keep going.  After biking, the boys played at the structure, and the three of us took turns playing with our new speedminton set.  It was fun and we got a little exercise from it.  The boys later did some soccer kicking too.

    For some reason Dora’s late afternoon flight got cancelled, but she managed to get changed to an earlier flight and flew home.  After dropping Dora off, and after nap, we decided to put away Christmas decorations as suggested by Connor.  He had been asking us to do that since the day after Christmas “Put away Christmas decorations…Christmas is over”.  Logan on the other hand was sad to see the tree go and wanted to hang on to the Christmas festivities a little longer.
