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…
We have had a blast this week with Alex’s family. We haven’t done anything flashy or super exciting, but the warmer weather has been great and it’s been such a welcome change to get outside with the boys. Teddy has been building a wooden airplane of his own design with Nathan. He’s been using the drill and learning how to use a handsaw. Peter likes to ride his push bike, ride in the wagon, and walk down the street to throw rocks into the last puddle in the dry creek bed. Arthur is eating baby food and army crawling everywhere–I call him an all-terrain Archie, because he’s really good at going up and over anything that gets in his way. Sunday brought church and our monthly virtual board game party.
On our own, we’ve taken some great walks through the neighborhoods near our Air B&B. We are staying near Forest Park this time, which is a lovely place to stroll. It’s also the location for the art museum and the zoo. We had some excellent Mexican food last night (surprise!) and it’s been good to cook our own meals more consistently for a bit. The temps have dropped again, but it’s still not as cold as it was 10 days ago, so it feels good to get outside. We’ll have a few more days of grandson snuggles here before we head out on Saturday.
Love to you all!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hello! We hope you had a wonderful holiday, whether you had a wild a raucous party with lots of friends and family, or you had a quiet day in! We had Linnell family dinner at my niece’s home (Erin) on Thursday. Then we had Mueller family dinner at Nathan’s brother’s place (Warren) on Friday. We ate REALLY well and enjoyed catching up and just being with family. We also went to see the new Wicked movie on Tuesday and comedian Ryan Hamilton at WiseGuys Comedy in Salt Lake on Saturday. It was a full and fabulous week and now we are packing up (again) so we can head east to snuggle some grandkids. Have a great week!
Golden State
We’ve had a great week here in California. We heard some great chamber music, made a trip to the aquarium, took lots of walks, and spent time with some of our favorite people. Tomorrow we move on.
West Coast
We’ve had a great week of traveling down the west coast and soaking in the views. We left Oregon on Tuesday and spent the night in Trinidad, CA. Then it was on to Santa Cruz and we’ve been enjoying some relaxing time with Uncle Ron and Aunt Martha, even with the wetter than normal weather.
