MARCHing on ... another month into 2022. Daylight Savings time. Even in this digital day, we still have a few clocks that we need to change manually. March means Girl Scout Cookies, Tagalongs are the family favorite (well, of Jen and the older three boys). Bought lots of boxes, and Keaton ate most of them (he found where I stashed them, I didn't hide them very well, nor move them when I knew he'd found them). Replaced the wreath on the front door with a cute, customized sign. Here's the personalized report ...
- Colton is staying busy, still going early and staying after to shoot hoops at the school. His Wolves team has started up again, and they are having practices and had a tournament. Colton got recruited by an AAU Club (Metro) but we weren't quite prepared for the costs ($$ and time/travel) at such short notice. We'll try to plan for something like that for him next year. It's almost time for his braces to come off (finally!) and they made impressions for retainers and he has an appointment next month. He's been doing some prep for Prom ...
- Cooper has been playing Pokemon Arceus a lot, much more than Pokemon Go (although he and I had a "lucky" trade this month). School has been pretty easy for him, and he often finishes up the week by Wednesday. He's been going to Pickleball with me (Thursdays) and still getting in time on the treadmill. Still working at the school, but thinking about what job he might be moving to after he graduates.
- Keaton lost his voice for a bit in March. For a week or so, he could barely talk above a whisper. He's been struggling with sleep too. Staying busy with his school and work, and looking forward to skydiving again. Meanwhile, he's been going rollerskating almost every weekend and even bought his own skates. He also bought a new duvet (and discovered what a duvet is) and changed his room up a little.
- Callahan and Kate went to St. George ... Kate's happy place, and a belated birthday getaway for Cal. Callahan has been playing some basketball when he's not working. Both he and Keaton have helped Landon with his basement.
- Landon and Sol have been working on their basement, getting it finished up. They've done a lot of the work themselves, from laying the wood floor to painting. It's kept them busy! Sol's mom is moving in with them and now they have space for that.
- Jen is pretty much recovered from her fall. There is still a "spin" (just one and done) moving from a vertical to a horizontal position. Zumba-ing three times a week (had a green day for St. Patties, and even threw in an Irish jig) and started attending pickleball (a ladies church group) on Thursdays. Trying to get back into blogging, listening to audiobooks whenever she can and making several loaves of sourdough each week.
- Gray is working hard, as always. He had a couple getaways in March, one weekend going to Vegas then to Portland, and a couple weeks later to Moab for some RZR riding. He's still making marvelous meals ... we had fried green beans a couple times this month, and he's really perfected salmon (he doesn't eat it, but Jen appreciates it!)
Here's the One Second Every Day
That's a basic run-down of the goings on of the Blackham Bunch.
Until next month ...
