Shadow the wonder dog.

Shadow has been jumping out. There is a six foot high fence around the section, supplemented in places with netting, but she still manages to find a way to get out. Today, Chris and I discovered she can scramble over the fence by the magnolia, in part because it was built with the flat side facing out so there is a ledge for her to get purchase on. Clever dog. Chris is buying more netting. Sigh.
Janine finally has her Christmas present - a brand new bike, as she has outgrown her old one, and uses it nearly every day to get to school. It has taken a while to sort out what she actually wants and find one at a decent price.
Zach and Hannah had their swimming sports where their lack of swimming practice was sadly evident. So, we are going to have to find a day to go to the pool regularly, and help them get a bit better.
Katarina is off for her first badminton game of the year, at the stadium.
