Happy New Year... Happy Half Year... 2025!

Almost half way through 2025 already.  It's been a year full of activities and adventures.  A quick ski trip, a lot of soccer and volleyball, a big trip to Hawaii for Spring Break, a big pool refurbish project and a prom.  Can't wait to see what the second half of the year brings.  

 

Lucy and her new "Friend" Connor went to the Oxford Prom

Another Easter spent in Chicago playing Volleyball

The backyard is all torn up as we refurbish the swimming pool.

I guess she's official now! 

Look who turned 2!  No Joke.

Spring Break in Hawaii.  Check out the Rainbow Bark.

Max enjoyed the waterfalls.

Perched high above the clouds in Waimea Canyon.

It was quite a hike to get to this point.

Everyone really enjoyed Spring Break in Kauai.

Moving on Up in the Martial Arts world!

Time Flies....Then Came 2020

What should have been a milestone year will definitely go down as a milestone year for all the wrong reasons.  Thankfully we are all safe and doing well.  Lucy reminded me today that I haven't posted on the blog in almost 3 years.  I guess I've got the time so no excuses.
