2022 has come and gone and it was a calmer year than the last two years. Nina started middle school and with it the clarinet and tennis. Pip is working hard in fourth grade and still doing gymnastics. The biggest change would be that the girls got hamsters and they are in love with them. They have been very caring and enjoy spending time with them every day.
Other than that, we didn't have a lot of big events this year but enjoyed the day-to-day routines. Being grateful and present in the small things like going for a walk around the lake each day, family dinners, visiting with family, time with neighbors, and fun trips out to eat at Olive Garden and Rudy's Red Eye Grill. We look forward to another fun year.
We finally got to Nebraska to celebrate Christmas and had a lovely trip once we got there. The roads and storms did their best to keep us out, but we made it through. A drive with a gas station lunch and mini-golf storm break made for an unusual Christmas day but it was all worth it once we got there.
Minnesota has either been cold or snowing and so we've tried to make the most out of it. We're clearly getting exercise from all the shoveling. ;) We've tried hiding from the cold in our classic spot at the Como Zoo and Conservatory and we've been reading a lot of books.
