End of 2025, beginning of 2026

So, the end of 2025 and beginning of 2026 have been a fantastic combination of busy and lazy! Let's roll it back to Halloween and pumpkin carving!

The kittens were very curious!
Noah was a squirrel for the Conant preschool Halloween.
Sam did "Men in Black" with some friends.
Isaac did the hot dog!
It's been a very exciting time around here as Noah makes his college decision. We are super proud of him, we know he will do fantastic wherever he goes. Augustana is definitely a front runner!
Love the kitty snuggles!
We hosted Thanksgiving and the kittens were curious about all the company!
Cousins!
More cousins!
Annual matching holiday pjs!

Christmas tree work.
Holiday band concerts!

And Sam had his first experience with High School Pep band!
We celebrated Sofia's 1st birthday!


And we began winter break in a fun rental home with lots of space, a crazy arcade room, an indoor pool with hot tub and sauna! We did some cooking projects, including authentic Bavarian pretzels. Noah had the recipe from his trip to Munich!


Back home we celebrated Christmas day with our usual top of the stairs picture!
Nice shirt!
Christmas Day with cousins!
New Years annual film festival, this year we did Transformers triology!
Some winter bowling, dad continues to dominate!
Noah did Conant's Prom Fashion show, looking sharp!
I was able to go watch, he and his buddy Vince were amazing. There was indeed a majestic hair toss!



And back at work, I celebrated Galentine's with my coworker Susan, our other friend Natalie got us matching cat lady sweaters!
So now we wait for winter to exit and we welcome more daylight!
