Holiday Blur...

Ok so I'm so far behind, I really don't even remember where I left off, and what's been done since. Lots of rescheduling do to the holidays, so lessons have been kinda scattered. Before Christmas I had a few meh lessons on Holly. Not much media coverage since it was freezing and didn't want to drag the boys out with me just for photos/ video... ok I wanted to, but have some restraint...

I have to work at not staying leaning forward in a line, I'm pretty sure I hold my breath the whole time too.

Lesson on Sat, then hopefully back to a more regular routine.




So really I will leave you with random media excerpts of my holidays.

My boys :)
