It worked! Here are some words and pictures.

Buenos Dias from the only person in our household whose Duolingo bird’s face is melting (Michelle)! We love living in Bozeman and are sorry we are so far away from most of you. You can visit for 4 days or less…maybe a week depending on how much you rely on us for your entertainment. 

Queen Michelle Frasier Veale Borden: Teaching Science, got Masters in Science with Honors AND I looked super cute at graduation. 

Joe: Producing a podcast as well as producing tv and movie things. Looks super cute most days. 

Smith: Debate wizard, Expo at Ale Works, solid student and daily mom hugger. Adorable and better at fashion than all of us. 

Wallace: Actor in all the things, choir alto, solid student and daily mom hugger. He rides to school with me every day and it’s the best thing. Precious, helped out by big brother with fashion, and about to get braces which will take him down a notch. 

Dogs. Smelly.

Love,

Joe, Michelle, Wallace, Smith, Chuck, Ouisa, lots of fish, and an asshole turtle named Shelby

(Wallace didn’t actually kill Rudolph. Proof below. Plus a few more photos.)
