Family Update.
OK, here I am at last with an update. We are all well. Hurrah! Dan is still working way out of town someplace but it's going well evidently. Harry is fine and still at the same place of work. Anna-Louise has passed grade 8 Trumpet and is still with the same boyfriend. Rhys has passed grade 8 in both piano and violin and grade 2 in flute and also some ballet and tap exams and is still writing his everlasting novel, which we still haven't read. BJ passed grade 4 violin and is quite dedicated, amazingly. The Trips passed grade 3 piano and are still dancing. Octavia has started to learn the violin, help!! Krista and Klara were 4 in December and are making Lego houses everywhere. Peter is getting all over the place and is a fantastic talker and never stops talking, in fact. Finally, Zinnia is almost 7 months old and is perfectly lovely. She can sit up beautifully and steadily but has shown no sign of crawling yet which is a relief, actually.
Great news from my brother Georg. Helga is pregnant. She's 43 and Henrietta is 7 1/2. They have been wanting another child for literally years. So far all is well and Helga is fine. We are so happy for them. Another cousin for our gang. They were here at Christmas. It was lovely to see them. Georg and I were very close when we were young and have remained very close all our lives.
I am well. It was my birthday Jan 6th and we went out for dinner. Julian and Alex babysat. They are still in the U.K. and are set to become British Citizens. Skye is now 12 years old and is quite grown up. Anyone that thinks being raised by two men is detrimental in some way should meet her. She's a credit to them both. She and Rhys are, it seems, still engaged. Hmm.
Dan has joined Wills fishing club. This involves going out with a bunch of other men and one lone woman and sitting on stools by a river not moving for hours on end. They throw the fish back after weighing and photographing them. People are sometimes a bit weird. Better than drinking and pub crawling though.
Aron, Dan's brother, is very worried about Trump. He and Sophia don't want their two children, Olivia who will be 7 in April and Daniel, who is 5, growing up in a racist, fascist country. We are worried too. They are thinking quite seriously of moving to Canada. What can you Do?
Anyhow, best wishes and love to anyone who reads this. Have to deal with some crying. Peter has, it seems banged his head. Love to all.
