December 2024

Mira

On Monday, December 2, 2024 our dear little Mira passed on.  Tara determined that Mira had stopped eating and drinking, so we had her put down. She was a great companion for roughly 19 years. It was a very sad time. Tara buried her in our backyard.  I'll miss that little cat.  


UO Women's Basketball
I got some free tickets so I took Everest with me to the game.  He had a great time.  


Making Gingerbread Houses



Nutcracker Ballet
Nova got to perform in the Nutcracker with Eugene Ballet. 



Christmas Puzzle
Tara started working on this last Christmas, but then put it aside because it was taking too long.  She finished it up this year. 

Utah
We went and visited Tara's family for Christmas.  She was excited to go ice skating with her siblings and their kids at Millcreek Commons. 





Thanksgiving Point



Hale Theater
We went and saw live action Beauty and the Beast.



Christmas Eve
Tara siblings and their kids came over and after dinner we re-enacted the Christmas story.

October & November 2024

We celebrated Halloween with the Widmers and Krebs, and some of the Widmer's other friends.

Running

Tara and Zade went running together for the first time. They knocked out 7 miles at around an 8:10 minute pace.

Family Games
Giving Machine in Valley River Mall
Turkey Trot

Zade ran a 5K in 21:26 and beat his old man, who go stuck behind the dense traffic and only logged a 22:06. Shameful. :)  This was also Ryzen's first 5K.  Tara ran with him and they had a good time. 

Thanksgiving

My parents, along with Kari and Derek's families joined us. 

Christmas Tree

We went to Willoughby's Christmas Tree farm for the first time.  They had great selection and reasonable prices.  We'll definitely go there again.
