2026, January 26-February 1

Mike started the week in Bozeman before heading back to Missoula, and Hallie and the kids held the fort in Springville. Winter seems to be waiting to make itself known this year. 

Dr. Charles Fay gave the Monday morning keynote at the Montana Principals conference. Mike and colleagues continued attending sessions and promoting the EDLD program. 


Eliza helped Hallie do some packing while they watched YouTube videos. Dr. Mike is a particular favorite. 


Kai is back, and we're always happy when he's here. 

Eliza went over to Creekside to help Sarah, and Hallie sent Ty this picture of the tack room. 

Eliza got to ride Big Mac with Leslie at BUH this week. Eliza always enjoys cashing in service hours for an earned lesson. 

In the evening, she made Mom and Landon some eggs for dinner. Hallie was fighting a cold most of the week. 

She also helped with the dishes. Thanks, E! 

On Thursday, Mike got to go to a Lady Griz basketball game. They beat Portland State in a nail-biter finish. 


Hello, Doggo! 

Mike found evidence of another bird dive-bomb at the Education Building. Those windows are just too clean, maybe? 

He and his coworker caught sight of a trash panda roaming on campus. He's also seen the deer herd and even caught sight of an opossum on the way to his apartment. 


Friday night's sunset while Hallie walked Kai was lit, as the kids say. 

While Hallie and Eliza were doing some work in the garage, Kai started barking. Jocie was at the door and invited Landon to the upcoming Sweetheart's Dance. 

Can you read Aurebesh? Apparently Landon is the droid Jocie's been looking for. 


Eliza has learned a new technique for transferring photos into drawings. Here is one of Kai she made for Mom. 

Hallie was feeling sad Sunday morning, and Kai reached out to lend a paw. Kai will have to go to a new family to share when we move. Hallie is quite sad. The puppy has been an emotional support while Mike has been away.
