January began the Year of the Dragon which is my Chinese sign and I always wanted to see the Chinese New Year. It must have been in my cards as there was a festival in Deep Run so off my little honeybunnies and I went. Mike and Mel joined us there but they missed the Dragon Parade which was pretty cool.
February brought us just enough snow that Perrin and I were able to use our snowman kit to make a cute snowman outside. After we enjoyed a warm cup of hot cocoa while we watched the Polar Express for the thousandth time lol
March brought some tears to my old eyes as Perrin and Dylan found each other again in the park one day. Two little boys who were born on same day and finding each other in preschool, life changing events separating them and then suddenly finding each other and what a joyful reunion it was. Somehow the two boys were like they were never apart and the rest of this year they have been able to stay in touch at least once a month.
April sent us to the zoo with Perrin and his classmates. We made it a family day too joining the kids there and following them around. It was fun watching their little eyes light up seeing the animals but the moment that stood out the most for me was Perrins little friends seeing a peacock and all calling him to tell him Kevin was over there, knowing that Kevin was Perrin and his moms favorite bird.
The merry month of May found my honeybunnies and I at the fishing tournament for kids in Hopewell. Now I am not the fishing type at all. I do not know how to tie on a hook or anything. But they all wanted to go so we did. It was great I can tell you that much ! We were lucky that one dad there helped us with the right size sinker(mine was too heavy _ and the right size hook) The kids all were like pros casting off their lines, enjoying talking to the other families sharing a very pretty fishing day. It was time for lunch and no fish for us, when Perrin asked to try once more, so we let him and Wow he caught his first fish ever in one throw. It was a little perch and the look on his face was just happiness all over !
Midsummer in June found us at one of the best festivals of the year. We got to see smoke blowing bubble dragons, the best balloon man in town. met the Queen of the Renaissance, and best of all seen the fire throwers. My honeybunnies and I had a great time.
July brought us a few fireworks and the hottest July ever. We celebrated it with a big water balloon fight and lots of watermelons and ice cream every day !
August was a biggie for us. Not only did Mike and Mel take a trip to Africa, but Perrin turned six and he broke his arm swinging on the monkey bars just before his trip to the beach. Breaking the arm and making some cool volcanos with the honeybunnies was one of the fun things we did besides Perrins Skyrim birthday party.
My favorite memory of September was the first day of school and Perrin missing his mom , would go outside and blow her kisses where the sun was . He was so happy when she and dad returned home.
September was also my 60th Birthday. mmm I had a wonderful celebration with my girls when they took me out to a special restaurant where the waiter did almost everything for me. It was one of those occasions where you dont want to forget anything but most of all I think of those delicious truffles mmm
October my favorite month brought an old friend to visit and celebrate my favorite holiday. Actually there were several of my friends I had not seen in a long time come to our annual party and we had a wonderful time together casting our magick on that night. O Patty, Sandy ,Tanya and Franky how far we have come since SMP days !
November my little honeybunny got his first awards in Scouts and his uniform. He went on his camping trip with PaPa and had so much fun. He did some archery and BB shooting where he made a bullseye on the target his first time. He also caught some big fish !
The holidays approach us and Perrin was in his first parade for Christmas ! I enjoyed seeing all of his little Tiger friends decorating their float and waving to the crowd of people wishing them all a Merry Christmas !
