January we started out our 2023 year with Anna’s 4th birthday. Anna has started reading and writing with Mommy at home. She measures the success of a day by how many crafts she has completed.
March – Gloria turned one in March. Gloria loves to play music and do little skip dances to the music. She is talking in basic sentences, and is convinced she can do anything that her siblings can do.
August – Katie celebrated her birthday on our way out to Yellowstone for a Pillman/Salt side reunion. We found out that tenting with 3 kids 4 and under makes for a vigorous expedition. We wouldn’t miss the chance to visit extended family from Canada, as well as a few bears and geysers.
September – Farzona started school in September. Farzona joins us as a foreign exchange student from Tajikistan. How many of you can find Tajikistan without googling it? Farzona brings sambosa cooking, a responsibility above her years, and great love for her new siblings.
November – Caleb, our “Mr. Man”, turned three in November. Our Mr. Man loves his independence and a good laugh. He stands squarely in his element when he is making his sisters laugh with a song on his guitar or tickling them with his hand puppet shark.
If camping is your thing, come join us on our oasis of rural Wisconsin land we acquired this fall in November as well.
December – Lucas will celebrate his birthday at the end of this year here. He continues happily working at Airborne Athletics on basketball rebounding machines. We also take a moment during this time of year to thank God for all his blessings. We also try not to eat too much of those blessings before New Year resolutions kick in. Speaking of the New Year, we are also expecting our 4th child (a girl!) at the end of February.
Don’t be shy. Stop by. And as Tiny Tim said, “God bless everyone!”
The Pillmans
