Life and other distractions have gotten in the way of regular updates here. I will endeavor to try on two updates per year.
So. Here we are at the end of June. The beginning of the year was tough emotionally as we learned to live without my mom. I've been helping my dad as much as I'm able, and my sister is too.
Felix went to Germany with a school group for ten days at the end of March and had a great time. Iris, Nick and I took an unexpectedly snowy brief spring break trip to Minneapolis at that same time.
Felix made the JV2 baseball team and spent the spring playing (when it wasn't rainy and/or cold). Iris improved her volleyball skills until it was time to focus on softball instead. She's already played with three different teams this summer (subbing on one) in six different tournaments and currently has a 0.596 batting average and 1.369 OPS. :D Her teams have two 2nd place and one 3rd place finish so far.
Nick continues to grow his business, while looking for more hours in a day to get his workload done. Cara just had her 10-year anniversary in her present job.
And that's where we are so far.
