Here is a quick post to summarize what we’ve been up to since we got back from Tahoe. We celebrated birthdays.<\/p>\r\n

Adam’s 14th birthday celebration included personalized Oreos that were as delicious as they were good looking \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

Lyon’s birthday celebration at Sakura left us very very full<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

My birthday celebration was perfect, low key after many full days of Christmas celebrations. I even managed to get exactly one picture of evidence where I’m making a weird face for some reason.<\/p>\r\n

In October, We took a trip south for a couple of party nights and days in Irvington with the Bralys.<\/p>\r\n

From Irvington, we headed to Greenville where we once again managed to take no pictures. We got to catch up with Mike and Terra and we went to see a bunch of houses for sale, but nothing that made us want to buy buy buy right away. After that we headed to the coast, for a lovely stay on Isle of Palms.<\/p>\r\n

We explored neighborhoods around Charleston too, but there are so few houses for sale and they are so much more expensive than a year ago that it’s easiest to put off making any housing decisions for now!<\/p>\r\n

After Tahoe, I thought I’d make more of an effort to go hiking. Alas, we’ve really only made it out on one hike since then at Rock Creek Park. We have explored a couple of local parks a bit more, but walking on a paved trail doesn’t really count.<\/p>\r\n

Jon flew out to San Antonio for a few days for a golf trip with his dad and brother Jeff. They were so in sync they managed to be color coordinated and everything.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

We had the pleasure of dog sitting Milo while Jen basked in the sun in Curacao. Our step counts went way up with a dog to entertain.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

We had a fun night out in Annapolis, going to a dinner and a comedy show. Even though this was pre-Omicron, my covid-xiety soared for a bit afterward. Ugh.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

And last but not least, we spent Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family in Bowie, MD.<\/p>\r\n

Our annual family photo probably took less than 100 takes, but I lost count after a while!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

We hope everyone is safe and well. Happy New Year!<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
