My Little Pony

We had a big exciting weekend. Well, as exciting as you can get in our current state of complete and total work overload. My highlight was finally getting to use my Christmas present . . . so I guess you can say that I experienced “Christmas in April.” Remember my rubber horse? Well here it is. His name is Tancos (pronounced t-on-sow-sh). I wanted to name him after one of Karlo’s grandfather’s Hungarian horses and this is the only name I can actually pronounce.

In addition to the horseback riding, we did a fair amount of gardening, planting and transplanting shrubs. Karlo and his mom did most of the work. I just supervised.


We also had a very brief visit from Karlo’s brother. I know many people are curious to see what Tibor looks like, so here’s a family portrait:
