March 2026

For Christmas, I got Dave tickets to the last Purdue game of the season. We stayed at the Union Hotel. It was a great weekend get-away and also a great way to celebrate his birthday. It was the last home game of the season, so it was also senior night.

Luke had a field trip to a maple syrup farm and learned all how maple syrup is made. 

Luke and Lilly earned a skating party because of their efforts raising money for the school's Walk-A-Thon.

Luke has been asking to eat octopus. We finally took a trip to the Asian market to buy some and I learned how to cook them.

January-February 2026

After the business of the holiday season, January and February seem slower and less hectic. However, we seemed to fill it with activities. 

We signed Lilly up for her classes at CLHS. Hard to believe she will be a Freshman next year.

Luke's Operetta Joy Ride

He did a great job and sang his heart out! He knew all the motions. 

Luke is a natural swimmer. He learns all the new strokes with ease. He got to ride on a kyak at the end of one of the classes. 

Only picture I got at National Lutheran School's Week. Poor Luke was sick for most of it.

Lilly collected donations from a local dentist for her capstone project.

Lilly is the stage manager for the junior high production of Beauty and the Beast.
