All quiet on the southern front...

I haven't posted anything for a little while, so I figured I'd send a quick update.

Not much new has happened here since our big fun in Kansas City. Over the last week or so, both Beth and Stephen have gotten sick with what seems to be a flu-like illness, but neither seems to have been too badly struck by it. Hope has had a bad head cold, which has affected her voice. We're all tired, but getting by...

Just so everybody remembers, we are NOT coming up north for Thanksgiving this year, but will rather come up over Christmas/New Years. We'll probably be in Michigan for the week encompassing Christmas, and Wisconsin for the week around New Years.

We're not planning much for Thanksgiving--a relatively low key Turkey Day meal, followed by a bunch of football watching. We had thought of skipping out of town for a couple days, but with the kids and Hope recovering from illness, we figured we're probably better off laying low.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Hey, Don... nice talking to you on Thanksgiving.

Say, could you repeat when you think you'll be in Rhinelander over the holidays? I think I misunderstood you... did you say that you would be there for a week after New Year's, or for the week after Christmas leading up to New Year's?

By the way: check out my blog. Important baby update!

However, in doing so, I decided to go with a new look just to spice things up. Speaking of spicy, here's a Valentine card from Kenny and Beth--Kenny used one of his kid's art programs on his computer to generate the picture, and suggested the nature of the text, even though I typed it in. Hopefully, this card warms those of you in the frozen north...

Late fall activities

Well, I better get this blog post out before too long--hard to believe it is already December and the holiday season is upon us!  The picture above is from a visit earlier this fall by Beth--and her introduction to our new female tabby kitten "Charlie".  Charlie got her name from the neighbor boy who thought she was a he when this small stray kitten showed up in our neighborhood.  We believe someone dumped her when she was old enough to be on her own--she was definitely very friendly from the very beginning!  The neighbors "found" her first, but as they have cat allergies, were not going to take her in...Since our Bella had died earlier this year, we determined that we were going to wait until early 2024 to find a replacement cat...but as they say, you don't find cats, they find you...  So now we have Charlie! This has been a fairly conventional if very busy fall for us...Halloween came and went remarkably quick, with our traditional pumpkin carving (above) and ...
