This will be a quick post as we are traveling this week.
Back in Ohio and West Virginia we spent some fun times with the family. We played with the kids and did some minor projects at Lauren’s place. Nathan is in what seems to be a never-ending battle with the wasps. It’s been great to soak up grandkid time in simple, sweet ways. We also enjoyed a delicious dinner with our niece Sarah and her family and we got to meet their newest addition, Poppy.
We hopped on a plane yesterday and flew to Utah to spend a few days with family and to take care of some pressing business. It was kind of wild to fly over the Wasatch Front. We are just two weeks shy of one year since we drove out of the Salt Lake valley, bound for Missouri, Weet Virginia, and Germany.
Nathan’s dad has been moved to a care center, so we are visiting him every day. We also wanted to see our dear family and a few friends. Living a “nomadic” life has some unexpected challenges. A couple of challenges that we are addressing this week are renewing a driver’s license and titling a car. It sure is simpler to do that in a place where you own property.
We wish you all a very fun and safe Independence Day and we will catch you again next week!
Missouri
We have had a great week here in Missouri. I’ll give you a short update, but I would also like to make a request. We have shared recommendations for podcasts, books, musicm and the like in the past. Now, we would love to hear from you! What have you been reading? What music or podcasts are you liking lately? Have you seen a good movie? Please comment on this post or reply to my email. We love hearing from our friends and family! Now for what we’ve been up to…
Back to MO
Just a quick post this week. We hunkered down in Ohio/West Virginia and took refuge from the cold. We did lots of cozy things with the grandkids. We took a trip to the library to play and choose a big pile of books. Huck is a little reader now, so it’s fun to find stories that he can read. We spent A LOT of time reading those books–at the library, on the couch, and in a blanket fort. We also did crafts and built lots of Lego. We went with the kids to the children’s museum for a special STEAM class and then hours of play and building after that. We also took the older two out for a special lunch date. It was a great week! We are now back in St. Louis and excited to spend time with the other grandkids! Have a good week!
Back to the Fun
We slowed down a bit this week, but there was some birthday fun and I have details on our trip through the Mississippi Delta and on to Ohio. This is a long post, covering almost three weeks of a busy road trip, so if you just want the bullet points, read the first bit. For the down and dirty details, read on.
