A Day Together

Hello! I hope you have had a lovely Christmas and Holiday season. The year has ended, and as always, I am mystified by how fast the year has passed.  I am not one for setting New Year's resolutions, as I know myself, and they always seem to be put to the waste side by February. The one constant thing is my focus on the children and my husband.  I accomplished a few things that I wanted, so that is good. Are you the goal-setting type that sets resolutions? Moving on, Winston has returned back to school.  He had a wedding to attend for a good friend in Arizona.  Harris will return to San Francisco soon after he returns to work.  I am excited for the New Year.

We have some good adventures planned.  One is spending the summer in Germany.  I am going to Costa Rica in January, which I am excited about as I have wanted to go there for a long time.  Well, I better get going.  My house is in shambles, and I need to take my bread out of the oven, but before I go, I have included photos from our ice skating outing!  The kids had a blast.  It was the first time the girls had seen their father ice skate.  He still has it, and being out on the ice made him want to skate more, but sadly, he just doesn't have the time. We also saw the movie Boys in the Boat.  It was so good.  We had all read the book as we know the son of one of the rowers.  It is really worth going to see and supporting.  George Clooney, the director, said it is more complex and more challenging to get funding for these types of movies as they aren't mega-blockbusters, but the stories are equally important to tell.  If you aren't familiar with the story, it is about 8 young men who were University of Washington students who went to the Olympics in 1936 for rowing.  The Olympics was held in Berlin that year, and Hitler was in power.  The story isn't about Hitler but what the young men had to overcome.  As I said, the movie is really good.
