December - baby Charlotte was born!! KJ traveled to Reno to play and help
It's good to remember that there were many wonderful things about 2025 because it's too easy to remember the many times it kicked my butt.
We started 2026 out with an outing to the wetlands park. It was cool, but nice out.
We only hear good things from Reno. Faith, Collin and Charlotte are spending days trying to get more and more endurance. More walking for Faith and more hours between feedings for Charlotte. She was doing so well when I left (back to her birth weight) that they told Faith she didn't have to worry about waking her up to feed her anymore. Charlotte has decided differently and wants company and FOOD during the night :)
Today Ivy, Bill and I hiked Sloan canyon's petroglyph trail. It was good to get out and move and I'll have to post pictures of the petroglyphs when my Google account syncs the pictures. Ivy is wanting to go hiking more and more. She is definitely turning into her father's daughter!

I'm so happy about the hiking. Aren't the petroglyphs wonderful? I'm actually very impressed that modern people have been as respectful as they are. I love each collage that you made, and the fact that I'm in one of them! That was a very challenging week as you were moving. You were a great person to put up with the visit. Right in the middle of the move too. I liked seeing my sons in your blog as you all went shooting together. You have done such amazing things. I'm so glad that Charlotte is gaining weight. The social side of her makes me laugh. Quite possibly she got that from her grandmother on the Evans side.
Your trip and Faith's baby were just amazing this year! But that is a whole lot of other living you squished into those photos! I had to wait until I was on my desktop to see all the details and comment. When you said Will moved out on his own I got a little teary for you. He will do awesome, of course. And so will Ivy. But let's just not think about that yet!!!
