Alan had a little helper this morning while cooking eggs for the family. Garrett came down and said, “I help. I help, Daddy. I help cook eggs.” He then proceeded to get the step stool and inserted himself in the cooking process.

Kiddo update
We did one of Jarek’s Cub Scout adventures, cast iron cooking. The requirement for him was to cook a meal over a fire. We started the fire using a flint and steel. Jarek learned a lot about building a fire and having the fuel ready to go. It was a good introduction to fire basics.
We made an impromptu stove with a couple bricks.
While waiting for the wood to burn down, Garrett came over and, being super cute, asked “Can I join?”
Arya got in on the cooking as well.
Randal got the first part of his third tooth out! We will be very happy when it’s all the way out, as the teething process has been a bit frustrating for all involved. Randal has been sitting up and crawling about now. He’s working on pulling himself up to a standing position. He’s done that once or twice so far.

Garrett went with Meagan and Arya to dance class. While waiting for Arya to finish her dance lesson, he picked up a book and said, “This is my book” and took it inside to read.

Randal – 4 Weeks
Randal is 4 weeks old now! He is eating and sleeping a lot. He has recently started standing/pushing off his feet. He has been holding his head up a lot more as well as wiggling a lot.
2022 In Review
Dear Friends and Family,
Welcome to our 2022 year in review letter! We are trying something a little different this year. We have decided to start a new blog for our new family adventures. The old blog, if you were familiar with it, is still up for now, but will probably go into archives before long.
This year’s letter is a bit later than we would have liked. The story starts at the end of 2022 when we sold our home in New Jersey and hit the road in the RV. The last few months have been very busy and some unexpected family issues came up which contributed to the delays. Then, after the family matters were handled, it was on to the move. I spent February back on the road moving our household goods out of New Jersey. That took pretty much all of February and we had some other affairs to settle in early March. That is all done now, and so without further delay, let’s get to 2022 in review!
We took over 10,000 pictures in 2022. Below is a small selection of them and some notes about events that occurred.
