Well it’s been a minute...
Willow and the tree this year.
Speaking of Tree, that’s what her Uncle Bink (my Son) calls her.
She’s got the wiggle bum down pretty good for a 4yo.
Good times today.
Merry Christmas from all the Abbadats.
Be well and safe.

Your daughter is growing up fast. If you recall, my granddaughter Mackenna is the same age as your daughter. We, too, do a lot of hiking. Here are a couple photos.

It is an interesting age.... we never know what emotion we will experience from second to second. It is like going through emotional whiplash, to be honest. Does your granddaughter enjoy hiking?

She absolutely loves hiking ... and rock climbing. But her true passion is dancing. She's a quite accomplished ballet dancer. Earlier this week (when the above photos were taken) we went on a 12 mile hike and Mackenna danced almost half way down the mountain.

LUCKY!!! We get Lily to tolerate going hiking with us (our longest yet was a bit over 6 miles, and 800 feet elevation gain) by having her listen to Korean pop music (one earbud only, other ear open to hear her surroundings). If she complains while on the trail, no other electronic devices are available to her for the rest of the day. This policy has made me the most popular parent in the Universe, as you can imagine.

I've been lucky. Mackenna is a "mini me" in a lot of ways ... and she'll tell you that, too.

Here's a pic I made Christmas day of my 2 oldest and my youngest.

I hope everybody here had a great Christmas holiday and got to enjoy some time with family and/or people most important to you and that all of us have a positive 2022

Holiday greetings are SO last week, Dale, but it looks like you had a super one. I haven’t been paying enough attention here for a while, and it’s obvious your boys are all-around great guys, happy to be with you. Your daughter has sprouted up alarmingly, and has an independent look like her Ol’ man!! You are RICH, my friend.

Ha! Thanks Charley!! ...and you are so right....that's wealth beyond measure in that picture right there.

You might be right about that baby, too.....which could likely prove unfortunate for a young man or few in another decade or so
