2026

Happy New Year!

We got one last family dinner in during 2025! Thankful for the time with all of us.

We spent the last evening of the year with some friends here at the house. Just a calm night of food and catching up with our friends.

Molly went to a wedding

Mack was here then went to see Brooke.

It was a sweet evening.

Today has been spent resting and packing up Mack’s stuff for moving him into his new apartment tomorrow! It’s not a furnished apartment so we have to pack up a lot more stuff this time. Am I looking forward to the work involved in getting him settled in again? No, not really. But I’m so happy Mack won’t be living with the druggies and gamers. Yikes that was rough. But he made it and is better for it. He will appreciate the new set-up, I’m certain.

So tomorrow we start the emptying of the nest again. It feels good to get all of his stuff plus some extra furniture out of here! Ruby leaves next week and Molly leaves a week or so after that.

Never a dull moment.

Rolo misses the calm. She looks at me with concern from time to time—like she’s asking, “How much longer will all these people be coming in and out of here?”

Praying 2026 will be a year of God’s presence and power in every step all of us take. In all the going in and out, that He would guide us and we would walk in the purposes He has for us. Cheers to 2026!🎊
