For Christmas, we did a 3-day trip to MN for the services for Luca. It was incredibly sad and hard to even think about. I think Alex and Julia were a welcome distraction for their grandparents and they got lots of quality time hanging out, watching shows, and visiting Carleton College.
We also had a family dinner with the Feltons and lots of hanging-around-the-house time.
Julia played on the "trapped" team for LFCIA WA in the fall. This is for girls with 2009 birthdays who weren't yet in HS. She loved Coach Oly and did really well, mostly playing defense. In December, we went down to CA for a GA college showcase. The team did poorly but Julia worked her way into the starting lineup and has been there ever since. We also saw Kelly which was the highlight of the trip.
Intersectionals were in Phoenix in 2023. My team was Shelley, Pernilla, Susie, Tanya. It wasn't our greatest showing but we had fun. Grandma also went down with her friends. We are lucky to get to compete!
Other fall activities: Alex's school dance, hikes with Maeby, Sounders, and for Thanksgiving we saw the Felton crew in Pasco.
Julia was very busy for Halloween, making an extraordinary Arrested Development-themed pumpkin and costume. She went out with her friends on Halloween but also attended the school halloween event. Alex went to a party with his friends but didn't want to miss out on candy, so he also did a lap in the neighborhood.
