Back to School 2023

September 5th, I got a call from Nana saying my dad had fallen down the stairs during the night. I rushed over. Obviously in great pain, he struggled to even get into the car. Driving to the emergency clinic, every bump was excruciating. Once there, they quickly did an x-ray and found he had broken his neck. They were horrified that he hadn't gone to the emergency clinic immediately. They were even more horrified that, because of the blood clots he'd had in his legs, he was on blood thinners. It was a miracle he was still alive.


After 6 weeks in a neck brace and with a little physical therapy, he was just fine! Miracle!!!


Jeremy flew down in early October to check on his progress. 


This school year, we started doing karate Friday nights at the community center. Sadie, Joseph, Annie, and Peter love it!


We also started going to several nature programs at the Kickerillo-Mischer Nature Preserve--Turtle Tots for Peter and Annie and Nature Investigation Squad for Joseph.










We had fun exploring the new Galapagos Island exhibit.
