Sound of Music

 We spent an afternoon with Roedema cousins, aunts and Grandma watching the Sound of Music. It was a fun afternoon. Masks for Covid- a memory hopefully soon.






Braces and Glasses

 We had all the kids eyes checked and 3 out of four kids needed glasses. Luke also got his top braces on too. Levi was not thrilled about his glasses.






Traverse City 2021

 We escaped the routine and celebrated the New Years Eve up in Traverse City. It was a good time away! Maybe a new tradition to celebrate Christmas and New Year as a family. We went snow tubing, went on some hikes, spent some time in the hot tub, played games, watched TV and football. 























Christmas/Winter 2021

 School and life kept plugging along with varying COVID regulations and craziness. Levi played 7th grade basketball and it was a challenging season with no wins. He learned a lot and we were thankful to be able to watch the team.  Both Levi and Maci were able to have in person orchestra concerts too. We still were able to celebrate Christmas at home with a crazy work schedule that I had with mandatory shifts and working Christmas Eve and on call Christmas. Hospitals are/were feeling the stress of COVID as vaccines were mandated for health care workers and nurses are burned out. We had lots of staff quit. I have been struggling with kidney stones since September and winter had 2 surgeries and lots of uncomfortable and tired days.
