Travel to Oklahoma, California, Minnesota, Wisconsin, St. Louis, and New York City. The Mr. and I went to Oklahoma on Spring Break. I went by myself to California to visit little sis and family, and then the Mr. and I went to Lake Superior the end of July. Finally, the girls and I had a great long weekend in NYC in December.
Directing two plays- Apocalypse in the spring and A Christmas Carol in the fall.
Two family overnights in Big City. One was in the summer and the other at Thanksgiving. We had such a good time watching the cousins play, visiting various locations, enjoying L and CB's cooking, and playing games.
Preschool and Kindergarten tales from two kids who love school.
A 60th Birthday celebration and year of fun. I should probably celebrate every year this way with travel, Broadway shows (Beautiful and Wicked), and massages.
The bad:
The Mr.’s leg issues. (Stents in both legs now.) Hopefully, that is about to turn the corner.
A sweet uncle passed away.
A HS secretary/friend lost her son, Dad, and husband in a three month time period. This was a loss for our entire community.
And now I have an aunt and cousins who have faced nothing but sadness and health issues for the last four months of this year. It has shocked (scared) us.
I heard 2017 referred to as the year of anxiety, and while they were speaking of it politically and economically, it seems to fit on a personal level, too.
The great:
L and CB are expecting a new little one next June. I’m pretty fond of these grand babies!
Lulu Bug (my new nickname for K’s littlest) has allergies under control. She is still allergic to eggs and tree nuts, but most other things have been added back into the diet. She is growing and thriving now! Why Lulu? She is a lulu of a girl—always busy and up to something. She is naughty and oh so charming at the same time. A real lulu!
Lady Bug has learned to read and is fascinated with spelling and phonics. That makes this Nana so happy.
Little man E is a favorite at preschool. His teachers love him. His mom would tell you it is because he follows directions there.
That pretty much sums up our year.
2018– here we come. Ready or not.
