I have not posted since July. I hope you all have not given up on me. I have a lot to tell and I will start where I left off in July...In August brought the Yuma County Fair. Sierra participated by showing pigs for her dad. She was a real trooper and worked hard all summer. She also showed at the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo Colorado at the end of August. I think she really did enjoy the competition and that "little bit of country" came shining through. Sierra is now at Aveda Insitute in Denver and is doing very well. She is already finished with her first phase and has been doing cuts and color on anybody that will let her. She is loving it!! Has met a great friend and is experiencing dorm life. She came home for Homecoming in October and went with Jon(his senior year)they were both adorable.
Bailey started her junior year at Laramie High School and is starting to train for track season. She is still very interested in Psycology and would like to become a Psychiatrist. She even said something about med school the other day, so we will see. That would be great, free psych care for the entire crazy family!! Happy 17th birthday to Bailey on November 10th!
Erica is in Boulder working as a vet tech and has applied to vet school at 5 different schools. We are keeping our fingers crossed. She keeps busy with her two dogs, Oliver and Buster, and working.
Aaron is in Baltimore and completing his prerequisites for Nursing School in the fall. He will be home for Christmas and we miss him very much.
Nati is a busy 3rd grader at Beitel Elementary and loves life. He keeps everyone entertained with his story telling and sense of humor. He is an incredible athlete and continues to do really well at soccer. He will try basketball for the first time in January. I have no doubt he will figure it out pretty quick. He continues to do well in school and should be caught up to grade level in reading by the end of the year. His teachers LOVE him!!
Kidus is a funny loving little boy! He loves preschool and has a ton of friends. Always happy but does like to test the limits like any other 4 year old! He also played soccer again this fall and really started to get the hang of it.
Clint and I have had a lot of transition this fall. We decided at the end of August to close the oncology practice in Laramie after failed negotiations with the hospital. We decided that all the goodbyes were too hard and we took a huge leap and opened our practice again after the purchase of a building in Laramie. It is a great building but will need some remodel. We are currently seeing patients at the new location and loving it! We are away from the stresses of the hospital administration and things have to be better. We have had such support from the community and our patients it has been incredible. Laramie truly is our home and it was important for Bailey to graduate from here. We love our home and have put so much work into it, it would be very hard to leave it. I think we are here to stay.
We have very loyal staff and could not have come this far without them.
We feel very lucky for our wonderful family at work and at home. Life is good......
The holidays are coming and we are all excited and getting ready for the big cruise for Christmas. No COOKIES for the next three weeks!! My entire family is going. I can't wait for margaritas and sunshine!!
A few pictures to enjoy......
