January 2020 Happenings

The new year started out busy we made a trip to the coast and got to see some of my college friends (I failed to take any pictures) and we met up with Clint and his family. The boys had a great time hiking and playing together and Kieran still talks about the potatoes Clint made for dinner.

The following weekend Jon and I went to LA with our friend Natalie to see Jason Isbell in concert. We met up with Natalie's sister for dinner and were seated right next to Sting. We were 99% sure it was Sting and then when we were leaving the concert we saw a billboard advertising him performing in a play the next week. The concert was great but Jon woke up sick the next morning and so instead of having a nice leisurely morning we headed for home, I started feeling worse and worse as I drove and by the time we got home we were both feeling miserable.

The big news for the month was that we bought a new house. Most of the balance of the month was spent figuring out remodel plans so we didn't have a lot of time for much else. There was lots of hanging out at home, reading books, playing games, and watching Star Wars movies. Kieran and I also got to take Jeffrey to school a couple of days to help Erin out when Mikael was out of town. Those two boys are so cute together and would chat non-stop the whole time they were together.
