The Otte's

Merry Christmas!  What a year it has been! 

   

 Isaiah is in 8th grade and is in taekwondo and loving it.  His voice has gotten much lower and he is checking to see if he is taller then me constantly and it is very close.  He is in a robotics class that he loves and is so excited about cars and is trying hard to save up for his own car in the future.

  

Denali started point this year and is doing great.  Both girls are in 7th grade,  still in band, and  all three kids are helping or taking part in Dancing Beyond Limits.   Denali plays the clarinet and is doing well.  She loves her competitive dance classes too.  She loves texting her friends and loves to bake as well.

  

  

Quinn has had a heathy year over all, and that is also a good thing.  She is playing the drums in band.  She loves her adaptive dance class, and the two girls teamed up with two more great girls to dance as a foursome and it is so good.  I love having a group of girls who include Quinn 100% as a real friend!  I am so thankful for that.  Quinn might have to have a surgery on her foot to help release a muscle so she is not so tight, hopefully that will be the only surgery this year.

 

John is working at All State,  he has worked hard to keep moving up the ladder and in turn puts in lots of hours to get to where he wants to be.   I am teaching art and computer and love my students.  

We gained a couple angels this year,  Grandpa Harold , John’s dad, is now looking out for us.  We are trying to help his mom out a bit more and love her up a bit more then before.   As well as a cousin and a few friends.  

 

My mom and dad have also had medical journeys to get through this year as well, thankfully they are fighting hard to get better. so we are learning not to take life for granted!  Life is hard and we have to love each other up as much as we can.

Here is hoping we can continue to be grateful for the little things!  Have a blessed new year!
