Stella's Window Bed....
Gym Life...
The last day the gym was open before Christmas Tim was the lone athlete left in the gym. As he and his coach were leaving he raced to get out the door ahead of him so that he wasn't technically the last one out of the gym...LOL! It was so funny that I had to get a shot of the moment.

Stella Bella....
We've had Stella for several weeks now and she's settled in quite nicely and is getting along with Tucker so well. She loves her window bed by my desk and will lay there for hours while I work at my computer. She loves her humans and is so lovable. She loves to get between me and the keyboard and the mouse to keep me from working but I gently put her back on her window bed over and over again...LOL! She stays there until Tim is awake then she follows him everywhere he goes. In the evening she goes back and forth between me and Scot laying on us while we watch tv. Here's some new pictures for you to enjoy.

Happy Birthday Jesus!
The Rest of Tim's Christmas....
Aside from Tim's computer upgrades we bought him another Virus Performance outfit and some new headphones to go with his computer upgrades + the usual stocking stuffer candies and steam gift card.

My Assistant This Morning....
Tim's Christmas...
In Kentucky Tim received several lounge pants, three sets of Virus Performance clothes, steam gift cards (IYKYK), and $. He was so happy. He especially loved the lounge pants and Virus clothes.
While here at home we upgraded Tim's computer. We had to give him that gift early so that we could have the tech guys put it together for him while we were in Kentucky. We got it back here last night and he has been having so much fun with it. We shouldn't have to do anything with that system for 3-5 years. At least that's what the tech guys told us.
Christmas in Kentucky...
Christmas with the Neal family was little different this year because our Patriarch is with Jesus. He went home to Jesus in May but at this time of year you feel the loss all over again. It was Pop's favorite time of year getting to see all the little ones open their gifts. This year we all brought gift for Nan too. We wanted to bless her extra special this year. Her memory isn't what it used to be so even a part of her is missing from the family gatherings but we do our best to keep her busy and a part of everything. So thankful that we still have our Matriarch with us but none of are certain for how long so we make the most of every moment that we get with her. The kids were so blessed this year for Christmas. My favorite part of Christmas is getting to see the kids open their gifts. I didn't get pics of them opening their gifts this year but I got pics in front of Aunt Elaines Christmas tree. Here are the pictures:

Yesterday at Weightlifting Training...
Yesterday at weightlifting training Tim did 100kg Clean Complexes 5 times. That's huge for him. It's heavy week this week and Tim has naturally been pushing himself. His coach is trying to find his ceiling again and Tim's not hit it yet. He's been getting so much stronger in training and we are so proud of all that he's been able to do in this sport in the short time that he's been doing it. 2025 should be a bang up year for him. It will be so cool to see him end his youth years in this sport on the top of his game. He loves this sport so much and he loves training at Athletic Lab.
