2024 in Review
A whirlwind of growth and change for our family!
Blake turned 16, a milestone marked by a driver’s license, a car, and a part-time job! As he balances school, work, and friends, he’s also starting to explore colleges and preparing for the SAT. We’re so proud of his hard work and dedication. He would like to be a pre-dental major. He is super social these days and enjoys hanging with friends any chance he has.
Judy celebrated her 50th birthday with a trip to Cancun with friends. This mid-life marker has got her focused more on future plans, including a bucket list of trying out new hobbies and a list of places she’d like to see. Her career is going well. She likes the blend of supervision and seeing patients.
Brayden, our youngest, turned 15 and got his driver’s permit. He’s also made the high school basketball team, a significant achievement given the tough competition. He is finding himself busy between managing the demands of daily practices, tournaments, and high school games with the rigorous of his demanding school schedule. He continues to find some time to be a “teen” and enjoys shooting hoops, gaming, and hanging out with friends. He is now the tallest in the family!
Brian continues to enjoy his hybrid work setup, combining the best of both worlds. His running group remains a vital part of his life, keeping him active and connected. He continues to enjoy supporting his alma mater, Iowa Hawkeyes, and is starting to think more about retirement in a catamaran off the Gulf Coast.
This year’s Christmas photo was selected as it sums up our favorite time as a family in 2024. We made unforgettable memories on our trip to Costa Rica. From lush rainforests to pristine beaches, it was a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. We’re grateful for the opportunity to travel and experience different cultures together.
Here’s to a new year filled with health, happiness, and exciting adventures! We look forward to reconnecting with friends and family in 2025.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, to all!
Hoping you and yours have a wonderful 2025.
