Although Nathan was fighting illness the whole time, we had a great time in High Ridge with Alex’s family. We got them a trampoline for Christmas and the weather was nice enough that we could get it set up and let the wild monkeys test it out. They are energetic boys and it’s a great way for them to work out some wiggles. We really enjoyed the regular agenda of bikes, swings, books, and building (from Lego to trains) along with the new additions of trampoline and exploring the storm drain. Alex had a business trip to Orlando, so we were happy to be able to lend some extra support to Hanna while he was gone. Big shout out to Alex for finishing up the long process to become a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA). He’s a graduate! Congratulations, Alex!
Now that we are back in Utah, we can regroup and plan for what’s ahead. Nathan got some antibiotics yesterday, so hopefully he’s on the mend. He’ll stick around here for a few weeks and help Margaret with some work on her current house and with plans and selections for her new house. We are also on baby watch for the next couple of weeks as Lauren and Bo will be welcoming a new daughter soon. I will be hopping on a flight back to help out there for a bit. Once I return here, we have big plans for travel for the spring, so stay tuned!
Mounds, Skates, Magic, and Giving Thanks
What a fun week! We took a trip back in time at Cahokia Mounds State Park, went on two fun outings with the kiddos, and had an early Thanksgiving celebration. We move on to a new adventure this week, so make sure you comment with your guess for where we are headed.
Atlanta and A Day Out
This week started out with our final day of Atlanta. We also spent some fun days playing with the boys (lots of Lego!) and and little outing, too.
Last week I promised the share the details from our trip to Atlanta, so here we go:
Off to Atlanta
The week started with everyone being sick and three days of rain. Now we are spending the long weekend knocking around Atlanta.
