2025, January 13-19

Bit of a roller coaster week. 

Fergus joined Eliza for her study time in bed on Monday. 

Here are Hallie and her co-workers horsing around. 

An apartment in Ty's complex burned over the weekend, so we had their kitties for most of the week. While we kept them confined to the office, we frequently came to visit. Mia was particularly affectionate.

Sage tolerated the situation. 


On Tuesday, Mike took the first steps in learning how to be a school bus driver. We are leaving no stone unturned and pursuing all possible avenues in the job search. Who knows what windows this route may open? 

In the evening, we surprised the kids by letting them know we have set dates for our upcoming trip to Japan. They were happy to hear the news, especially Landon. Can't you tell? 




Eliza made some watercolor cards in her BUH art class. 


While Landon spent some time in the office later in the week, he sent this picture. Aww! Mia has found a shoulder. 

We had some chilly weather later in the week. Walking the preschoolers to and from class can be a bit challenging. 



Landon never fails to crack Mom up. Here he is doing his food handler's permit paperwork and getting a rise out of her. 

We received some bad news from UVU Thursday when the dean of the college where Mike applied let him know they had chosen another applicant for the position for which he had interviewed. Fall down seven times, stand up eight. 

We had snow over the weekend, and the kids helped Mike do some shoveling. They also chose to take advantage to pummel each other and make snow ice cream.


Kai has returned, and with that so have our routine walks. Fergus joined in a few times. Here he sits, eyes aglow, in one of the trees on our route. Spoooky! 

We watched the Lions fight valiantly but ultimately lose to the Commanders in the evening. The Lions have been a class act this year, and we hope for continued great things for the team next year. 

Hallie had the chance to join some friend for a yoga retreat Sunday morning. 

In the spirit of the season, here are some snowflakes. They keep the students Mike teaches engaged as he carries on his lessons.
