Fastest season .... always....

November/December always go by in the blink of an eye. Between Fall Break, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the lead up to Christmas -- our weekends are packed and our weeks are just as full. Add in Colton playing basketball and Pammy going on vacation, impending events leading up to Trent & Stef's wedding........it was complete chaos for a couple of months. I didn't blog. I'll admit it. I fell behind. That doesn't mean we didn't have any fun, because, boy oh boy, we did.

A few highlights -- Keaton's first Purdue basketball game -- he did fantastic! And the boilers won! Such a great evening!!




Colton got announced and got to play in the Red & Black Classic with his 3rd grade basketball team. Such a fun night and great introduction to hopefully many more years on this court...
November was a big month for Colton, because he also shot his first deer, and got to spend some extra time with Grandpa walking Candy & Rizzo, because the weather has been so mild.

We celebrated Harry's 4th birthday, and have loved watching Harry & Keaton become just the best of buddies. They are so fun to watch together.
Emmalyn - I'm noting that in true middle child fashion...I literally have no event pictures of you during this time frame. Forgive me. We'll make up for it soon -- I promise!

The first weekend of December brought the Hall/Hancock Bridal Shower for Stefanie. We had so much fun planning this, and the little girls loved helping us host (as did the big girls). We are so excited to welcome Stefanie into our family -- and know her and Uncle T are just perfect for each other!



As if a bridal shower wasn't enough for one day -- we swapped families and put on our Stockment hat to partake in our annual Christmas outing. It's our gift to the Stombaugh kiddos and to our kiddos from Aunt Jess & Chris. We headed down to Indy to the Speedway to drive through a new lights display they had put together, and then had dinner at a unique little eatery in Avon. It was a great night, and the cousins had a ball!



Needless to say....it was a BIG day for our kiddos.  Big day...haha...BIG MONTH.

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

April - Hey Batter, Batter...

April is always the month that makes us think spring is FINALLY here, because it's starting to warm up, suns starting to shine more, except when we finally get to the baseball/softball fields, it's just as cold as it was in February. Thankfully, Emmalyn had an indoor sport to carry us through the cold of the month, until baseball/softball really got kicked off! Emmalyn tried something new this year and participated in CiVic vollebyall. This is a club program out of Carroll County, and she practiced every Sunday from January through April. Finally in late April she had three play dates. One Saturday we played up at Fairmount, IN. Grandma Jacki, Keaton and I went with Emmalyn, while Dad, Grandpa and Colton cut down some trees in preparation for our spring projects. Emmalyn and Mae Ella did a wonderful job for their team, both rocked their serving and seemed to know the game and keep their cool better than some on the team. The second weekend Dad, Em & Mom traveled to Triton H...
