The year started off with a bang with breaking our long streak of avoiding Covid – Noah was struck in mid-January, but somehow the rest of us avoided it (at least until October, when it caught up to Scott!) Things got better from there… we had a great family trip to Florida in February...
...and Noah had his 8th grade trip to Washington DC in March (which he also enjoyed, despite spending 2 nights sleeping on a bus).
Summer brought a few trips Up North, and South Haven, as usual, along with our first family trip to Cedar Point. Noah and Adam joined me in the 'we hate roller coasters club' after riding the Blue Streak, but we found enough other stuff to do to have a fun day :)
It was a big year for both boys school wise… they ‘graduated’ from 5th grade and 8th grade, and started brand new schools in the fall. Adam is at Holy Spirit in Brighton, and Noah is at Catholic Central.
Since they moved from schools that went late
into the year, to ones that started early, they had a few weeks cut off of
their summer, which I’m sure they’ll be reminding us of for years to come J
This year also marked 15 years in our house, which is hard
to believe! No major projects this year
(except for getting all of the carpet replaced, which made it feel like we
moved out and moved back in), but we are hoping to tackle some bathroom
renovations next year (the things you get excited about as an adult!)
In other news, Scott and I latched on to the pickleball craze, and learned how to play this year (Noah was ahead of his time, and actually learned a few years ago!). I continue to embrace my inner crafty self, and am on month 10 of crocheting a blanket… going to aim for something smaller next time for quicker gratification!
I also embraced the ‘dle’ trend this year –
Wordle, Quordle, Heardle, Hurdle, keep them coming! J
As usual, we have 2022 recap videos:

For 2023, Scott and I are looking forward to a trip to Hawaii for our 20th anniversary (much to the children's dismay, they will not be accompanying us), I'll be hitting my 20 year anniversary at RouteOne, and Noah will learn how to drive (which terrifies us slightly, but not as much as the thought of AJW driving in 2 1/2 years)!
We wish everyone the best for the year ahead!
