Christmas 2024 was a series of beautiful moments and fun traditions. It was good food, long walks, Star Wars in the living room and fires in the fireplace. We didn’t make it through as many Star Wars as we had hoped but we remain committed. One of my favorite parts of Christmas are the photo…

Quick Visit to KS
After the Taylor Swift concert we headed off for a quick visit to Great Stella in Kansas. Liam reunited with Pete and we hung some new artwork (photographs Brent took) on her wall. We puttered around and took care of small tasks to make sure she is all set until we can get back again….
