Kids and family :
It was a busy year and a difficult one.
Mudd was unemployed until August after his accident last September. He got back on his feet from a broken back and has a new teaching position. We celebrated our 25th anniversary this year.
Jon went out and played video games with his friends (a first), learned to play the guitar, learned to tie a bow-tie and learned to shave. He's taken college classes this last semester and really enjoyed them
Chris made it through Basic and Advanced Individual Training and is now a PFC and drives the Multirocket Launch Vehicle. He is giving his sergeants headaches.
Oli had a lot of health issues, including a major, sudden weight gain and a lot of unexplained pain. She was in choir, on Student Council, and came out as furry. She loves her cosplay.
Thomas Cattus left us in May. A new Kitten, Sweetie Domino, came into our life in November.
Dad started chemo for lymphatic cancer in his throat. He ended up having to deal with a feeding tube. He's lost a LOT of weight, simply because he can't stand to eat enough to keep going.
Mom had a lot of pain all year and a cough that wouldn't go away. She went into full blow Leukemia in November and died Dec 15.

Tumblr consumed my time on LJ, so sorry if I neglect it for too much time.
Peace!
