an unusually warm january, making "wintering" a challenge! the girls are back to busy with art classes, tennis, dance and voice, and of course, birthday prep for betsy. turning a whole decade next week!!

jon and bea are off to san diego tomorrow for her 10 year trip. i've having a hard time grasping that not only are the 5 year trips complete, but soon, the 10 year trips as well. next up: 16 year trips! time sure flies.

we're starting the new year with 2 new cpr certified babysitters in the house! 

so glad they did this looong day with friends :) 

and we wrapped up holiday gatherings with some of our favorites-

happy 2026! excited for a slow start to the new year once celebrating has commenced.
