Hannah Is Home!

After working for two years as a mental health specialist in the psych unit at Seattle Children's Hospital, Hannah packed up and moved home for a little while (with her two kitties, bringing the household total up to 5! Also, there is a python in the box below the black cat! The pets were troopers on the 21 hour drive home!). She plans to attend graduate school in the fall and will live with us and save money until then. Of course, I’m super excited to get her back for a while!!

 

Sophomore Year at ASU/Barrett!

We just dropped Dylan off at ASU for his sophomore year.  He is living with the same three roommates as last year in a 4 bedroom/4 bathroom apartment on campus. This year, he really wanted to create a cool living space so he spent a lot of time choosing decorations (most from around our house). Two days before we left, he decided to add a brick wall (peel and stick wallpaper). It took time and patience, but he and Andy got it on the wall while I cleaned and set up his bathroom and closet. Then, we were ready to hang decorations. I love the way it turned out! It’s always hard to say goodbye to your babies, but his excitement to be back with his friends and fraternity brothers made it easier. Here’s hoping for a fun year of friendships, learning, and growth and hoping his guardian angels don’t have to work overtime!

Me and Mom! (I’m inside, then out!)

Miles has taken over the painstaking process of digitizing all of our old family slides and came across this gem yesterday! I still miss this beautiful

soul every day of my life and I love looking at the pictures of her younger days because she was so vibrant and happy.
