Marshall turned 1, can walk, babbles a lot.
Ryan turned 3, started preschool, is potty-trained. Obviously lots of things have happened, but for which this margin is too small to contain. Whoops, looks like I missed all of 2017! :P Last time we even went strawberry picking at a Hello Kitty themed farm. Legoland is a huge hit, as are the beach & aquarium. The fam has also been accompanying me on a few work trips to LA. :P On that note I went out to Houston for some testing with NASA and got to see the Neutral Buoyancy Lab - it's a massive pool that contains replica of the International Space Station for astronauts to train on. It's also exciting, but I do hope it ramps down shortly. Work's been super busy as we get ready to launch Crew Dragon. The trip itself was a big success with lots of museums, so many drawings, family time, and even no puking on the plane rides! It was great to see everyone who braved the heatwave to come hang out. but still doing better than I did last year! Let's see, we went back to Canada and were actually there over Canada Day (something I have missed for many many years)! We also had a little slightly-early party for Marshall's second birthday. Snow day!! The internet at work is down, so I can't do my (copious amounts of) work! Wheeee. We were sling buddies for a bit, but now he's already all done with it - tomorrow will be a sling-free day!īusy with work as usual, heading back to Houston next week for more NASA testing! Then the week after Ryan fell down the stairs ("I was having fun until the end") and broke his clavicle. 
In not as great news, both Ryan and I visited the ER rooms last month! I dislocated my shoulder while climbing in LA (an interesting time comparing the shoulder resetting experience to what I'd learned in my WFR course). and Charlene had a confetti themed party! Had a couple fun birthdays recently! Ryan had a very busy popcorn/carnival themed birthday party (complete with carnival games and prizes). Preemptively wishing everyone a Happy New Year! Especially now that I also got a wifi plug and can ask Alexa to turn the Christmas tree lights on and off for me. We got our first cut tree this year (the last two years we tried the "live tree in a pot" thing, but they don't seem to quite make it to the year after), and I'm unexpectedly excited about it. Spent some time with the in-laws, and we are headed up to Canada in the new year. Had a fun holiday with the family - kids are old enough now to get excited and leave out cookies for Santa (yum!).
