JANUARY 2023

For Luke's birthday, we took the kids out of school for 2 days and went to Kalahari.  We were so lucky to have the Lindemans join us.  It wasn't crowded and we celebrated with Shipley donuts.  We have an 11 year old LUKEY. 




Teaching the kids how to clean the bathroom

Nutmeg is growing up

Bran was presenting his dissertation here and so his whole 
family joined us. 










Nutmeg's first bath with us.  
We couldn't get over how she looked drowned rat.


Tessa's new obsession is to microwave marshmallows.

Mimzy gave Luke this bookmark.
Here the kids noticed that he has a penis.

Ned had a TDY in San Antonio! 
Ryan took him on a bike ride along the riverwalk.

And then the Olsens stopped by.  Tennille's parents live
here and they are moving back to Germany. 
Braddock is days away from serving a mission in Milan, Italy.


Playdate with the Hans

 
We love our little girl


Ryan discovered P. Terry's

Young Men's activity was learning about gardening.

Tessa prefers to sleep with Nutmeg

Luke wanted a Nerf war birthday party.
It was impossible to find a free Saturday so we picked early release
Tuesday.  Go figure that school was cancelled because ice. 
I was so worried about having eleven 11 year olds in my house.  
Becky came up with the great idea to have it at the church.
It was still a little cray cray with eleven 11 year olds. 
Luke is loved and has a lot of good friends.
