Hello and Happy New Year!

As always, click a picture thumbnail to enlarge, and then scroll through.

Allen, Kathy, AJ, & Bo

Our biggest news of the year is that we welcomed our second grandchild. Allen & Kathy are happy parents to Brennan Oliver (Bo), born in November. He and big brother August (AJ), age 3, are doing well! They all took a road trip to Monterey, Mexico in March.

Andy

The new software company that Andy started with some friends went live this summer and has seen promising growth since then. He visited three more MLB ballparks, bringing him up to 29/30 and only one(!) shy of finishing the quest. He also took some big trips to London, Edinburgh, and Toronto this year.

Megan

Meggy received a promotion at work, and she and Mike took a trip to Peru to visit Machu Picchu (a long time wish of Mike's). She also traveled to the East Coast with friends.

Patty & Mike

Patty & Mike (with much help from nephew Scott) flexed their DIY home improvement skills to reconfigure the house to provide a private space for her recently retired sister Peggy to move to the Austin area. In April, we were so excited to witness a total eclipse of the sun as it passed directly over our home! We also celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary this past summer.

In May, we traveled to Washington State for our niece Sarah's wedding and enjoyed time in Seattle and at Mount Rainier. Andy saw some great Northern Lights while there.

We were pleased to celebrate four generations of Ewert men this Christmas, including Mike's 97-year-old father who survived a hip fracture almost a year ago.

It's been a busy whirlwind 2024! And we look forward to seeing you in the New Year!

Love,
Patty, Mike, Andy, Megan, Allen, Kathy, AJ, & Bo
