Merry Christmas 2022

 



πŸŽ„Merry Christmas
πŸŽ„ and happy holidays! We’re just over here trying to soak up ALLLL the Florida we can. Sterling is finishing up his last year of residency. He works a ton. Never sleeps. Lives off caffeine and horrible hospital food (their kitchen had a fire and they just serve heated food 🀒) and occasionally we get to see him. On a brighter note, I’m living my best life at the beach and in the sunshine with the kids πŸ˜‚. I work for a friend baking once a week and I teach Russ’s preschool on rotation. I’m still teaching the kids piano and between those things and keeping everyone alive and fed-it stays pretty busy! We spent this summer in Utah/Idaho and I was able to sub at my favorite office again-which I love even if it’s crazy! Ruth is in 5th grade and trying all the things-choir, drum, yearbook, and we still have piano and a theory class going. She is incredibly helpful and has started babysitting! Her favorite hobbies are reading and holding all the neighborhood babies. Will is in 4th grade and is all about drawing and legos. He likes to whittle branches and build paper airplanes and origami swords. He’s also a fantastic singer-although he does have to be bribed πŸ˜†. Molly is in 2nd grade, she sings 24/7 and still wants to be an entomologist-she shows us all the bugs! She was baptized this year and she just keeps growing up on me. Russ does preschool with two other little boys and he has constant questions. What letter is this? What does this say? What is two plus two? He is super proud when he writes his name on every paper and will definitely be ready for kindergarten next year. He is a riot and is always proving his strength and muscle. Grace just turned four last week and loves to show off how she can do flips (somersaults) outside and inside of water. Haha. She scares all the parents on our ride to school by going so fast on her scooter and she freaked me out the other day by climbing waaay too high in a tree. Fearless. This year we had two camping adventures in Florida and lots of summer hiking fun. We have been lifted up by so many friends and family this year-thanks and love to you all. Stay warm and have a happy new year! #happyhaws
