January 2021 Highlights

January 6, 2020: Versii working on a shoe project for school.  He wanted it to look cartoonish.
Jan 7: Paxton mixing slime again.
Jan 9: The boys went skiing for the first time.  Our friend's the Schreiner's daughter, Elle, is working at Mt Hood Meadows as a ski instructor and she taught the boys how to ski.


L to R: Elle, Wren, Versii, Paxton and Beck

January 14: After the loss of Dieter, the whole family was sad, but especially Paxton.  He stopped wanting to sleep in his room and was so sad all the time.  We had debated if getting another dog was right for our family, but after seeing how Paxton was handling the loss, we decided to look.  We researched for a while and were considering black labs and other smaller dog breeds.  Ultimately, we thought that a big dog might not be best for us.  We found someone who had a litter of Boston Terriers and after reading about them, we decided this would be the best breed for our family. 
We drove to Salem to meet the breeder and meet the puppies.  After Paxton held all the little puppies, he decided that this little guy was the right one.  We all decided to call him Tuxedo, Tux for short.  
Meet Tux, our new 8-week old Boston Terrier.
Birthdate: November 24, 2020.
He's such a sweet little puppy and Paxton was over the moon.





January 14: Bringing Tux home.
January 15: Tired Tux
Jan 16: Dinner with Jana and the boys and meeting Tux for the first time.

Jan 16: The boys started getting into make stop motion videos with their Legos.  
Here's Versii's video he titled "Commotion".  I'm so impressed with his imagination.
Jan 19: Tux snuggled in his new favorite bed.

Jan 20: Paxton ordered a light saber as part of his Christmas and he was so excited when it arrived.
Jan 21: Sweet little Tux, it's hard not to take a million pictures of him because he's just so adorably cute!  We are all in love!
