My chair

Gus wants to know why I'm sitting in his chair.

Baking with Molly

For Christmas 2021, I was able to spend a little bit of time with each of the kids doing something special.

Clara and I went coyote hunting on 12/31. Chris and I saw the new Spider-Man movie. Lucy and I went to buy her newest fish, "Moon."

Molly and I worked together on this creation in the kitchen. A dessert that I can safely eat.

All dressed up

Hopefully this is the first of many times Christopher will wear a tuxedo when he performs on stage. For this occasion he was going to perform at the Ryle Winter Band Concert.

As of this writing in January, he's the first euphonium chair in the high band for NKY Select Band. He started playing the trombone that he received for Christmas, though he shares it with his sister Sabrina.

Snuggles

Just some snuggles with Molly while recuperating from COVID.

COVID kicked our butt

As of the time of this post, 5 of 7 family members tested positive for COVID this week. It's been quite a wild ride of trying to get healthy. Hopefully we're on the upswing.

Patience

If you ever wondered what patience looks like in a photo, I submit this image for your consideration. Sabrina is very smart, but seems to require someone to sit with her whenever she's working on Math. On this particular night, Annette was the homework aide.

Rock Climbing

For her dad Christmas present, I went rock climbing with Sabrina. She went up and down the walls many times till it was time to go.
