I haven’t posted in so long! So much has happened!
Our youngest Grandbabies, Otis and George, Leah’s youngest and Hannah’s youngest, both turned 1 this summer.
Leah had knee surgery having injured it playing indoor soccer just before she opened her toy store and had the surgery just before Otis turned one. It’s been a challenge! I tried to go up as much as I could to help. Dave’s Mom has been a rock star!
Emmet turned 9 this summer—can you believe it? And Henry turned 7! In a few weeks Eleanor turns 5! They are the most amazing, loving, smart, creative, fun kids. Love them so much.
Hannah’s Junie turned 3 at the start of the summer and not long after, George turned 1. Hannah still gets to stay home all but 3 days per month. Kent gets Wednesdays off. They have come here three times this year and we go there frequently also! They are both unique, sweet, loving amazing g kids too!
Joel and Kayla got married in October. It was a beautiful, fun, touching ceremony in KC. We go up to KC frequently and we see them at all the birthday parties in Newton. Joel has shifted to doing more game development on his own. Kayla works in publishing in KC.
Mom has been at Foundation Park for two and a half years now. We really like it there. Mom is well taken care of. She’s doing well overall considering she’s 94 and a half. She has had a few falls so uses her walker now and struggles with her memory but not terribly. We go see her every day and even though it can be hard to watch her age, we are grateful for every moment we have with her.
Scott has not retired. He plans to work closer to Medicare age. We play pickleball in the league once a week which is super fun. We take Wilson for a walk almost every day also, our favorite place is the woods behind the high school.
I am still seeing client at Ethos three days a week, 11-5. I am carrying a bit more than I like currently because my buddy Jamie left to move home to South Dakota. She got her dream job—mental health first responder at the police department and she also gets to be a cop! We miss her terribly at Ethos. We still have three other therapists and two Life Coaches (Scott does some). I am hoping to wind down about the time my lease runs out. I will still see clients by telehealth so we have flexibility to travel.
We love to travel. We went to St Lucia in February and are planning. Trip to Wyoming in September and return to Maui in January.
That’s mostly it!
