Greetings from Washington! We’re excited to be back on the west coast.
Ava is almost three and she is such a joy to be around. She likes to make Elliot laugh, and it’s fun watching them interact more. Elliot is still a potted plant, but he is going to be moving any day now (hopefully not too soon)!
I’ve joined the double stroller club. Taking an afternoon stroll is now a full-on workout. But our views out here are amazing. Taking it all in one day at a time.
Janet & Tim
We are having a BLAST. Retirement has been like a vacation that never ends. Weekly theme parties with costumes of course. Hawaiian luau, St. Patrick’s Day bash, and frequent family parties. We are blessed to have the Kuhn family join us. Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was brought to life. Adults and children enjoyed the festivities together. Chimera sisters enjoyed their annual trip to new Smyrna Beach, Florida. I shared plenty of sunshine, shopping, fun and laughter with my sisters.
The Kuhn Family
Happy Spring!
The Kuhn‘s have been enjoying some fun adventures this spring.
All three play soccer which keeps us busy on the weekends. Tim is a Tiger Scout and next year Tony will be a Lion Scout - Donald will be his pack leader! Tina is the best scout sister!
We are excited for summer and hope to visit Ohio this July.
Much Love, Donald, Michelle, Tim, Tony, & Tina
DeMaster Family
We are enjoying spring in the mountains! It’s so lovely so see new life coming back into our woods. I can’t remember the last time I saw daffodils on the side of the road. Needless to say we are really enjoying life here.
The Ruest family recently came to visit us for a long weekend. The kids had a blast running around the house, and the adults enjoyed catching up in person!
Iv started my list for “summer house projects”to finish and I’m patiently waiting for my Dad to come out so we can start wallpapering the hallway! I’ll keep you all posted how it goes, I really hope I bought enough. Measuring for wallpaper with a pattern repeat is so confusing.
We are looking forward to a few more summer visitors, (our doors are always open) and hoping to make our way to Cleveland in July/Aug. if anyone is in town we would love to see you!
The Gaus Family
Hello everyone!
Miss you all! Hope you are all doing well!! We recently went on vacation with my in laws! It was very fun and we celebrating Pennie’s birthday there! Which was nice! We are getting ready to sell our house in the next month or so and looking to move closer to my mom and Vanessa! Penny started a playgroup/ school and she loves it! Once she is potty trained she will be doing the drop off class for 2 hours!! She is very excited haha ! Here are some pictures from vacation and the past few months!
Janice & Shiggy
We’ve been celebrating a lot of birthdays over the past three months starting with Alisha on January 4th turning the big 30!!! Moving on with a trip to Tennessee to celebrate Jessica’s birthday at the end of the January!
February took Judah to 2 years old, with a specialty cake made by none other than ‘Vanessa’s Sweets & Bakery Extravaganza’
March slammed us with Shiggy and Janice’s birthday, along with our 40th anniversary celebration!! A lot to be grateful for…
Our sisters trip in February was absolutely delightful, we headed to Florida to visit Janet and Tim’s new crib!! Tim was a gem putting up with the three sisters
non stop talking, laughing and bossing each other around!
We also got to celebrate Michelle’s birthday with a ‘NO kids or husband’ dinner, it was fun catching up and spoiling our niece a little!
Pete, J.R. and Margot made a surprise trip to see our new home, it was a short but oh so SWEET visit… thanks Pete for the long trip and extra effort to come see us!!
We are anxiously awaiting spring and the beautiful warmth and color that will be arriving soon—HURRY UP!!!
Happy Easter and love to all FAMIGLIA❤️
The Reusts haven't really been up to much just counting down the days until Spring and Summer are here. We did take a lovely trip to TN and had a blast visiting The DeMaster clan at their TN home for the first time. The crown molding is epic as you can see in my picture below 😜!! Lots of playing, GOOD eating and late nights for the parents hanging out. We celebrated Judah's 3rd birthday in Feb and Jan, CJ and Penny's birthday in March as well. I was honored that Alisha choose me to do the cupcakes, let's just say I still got it! And oh yeah Elijah and I celebrated 9 years of Marriage in March too, I guess we have been up to a lot these past few months.
The Kentucky Pavia's are ready for spring!!!! Mike is busy with work, volunteering at kids club at church and coaching the boys in flag football and baseball. Mario is excited to start his first season of kids pitch baseball, quarterbacking his flag football team and letting it rip on the golf course. He finished tied for first in his singles tournament last weekend. Davis is excited for machine pitch baseball, hustling down the soccer field, also quarterbacking his flag football team and playing in his first PGA golf season. Both boys are enjoying school and looking forward to spring break. Christie is enjoying running a shuttle service for the boys, volunteering at the local food pantry and picking up more work in the crazy spring market. We are thankful for our many blessings! We miss you all and hope you are also ready for a blessed spring season! Love to all.
Jane and Mario have braved another winter in CLE! We visited KY Pavia’s in January, celebrated Mario’s 71st in February, and got in a trip to our condo in NC in March.
In between we saw many of Braden and Luke’s basketball games. Jane made a trip to FL to see Janet and had an awesome weekend!
Harrisons are keeping busy with school, sports, and first communion preparation. Boys are both playing basketball and baseball now, which takes up most of our time. We celebrated Harper’s 8th birthday in April 8th! First communion is fast approaching and will be in May 1. Of course we are also counting down the days until summer!
The Young Pavias took a vacation in January to Cieneguilla - a town not too far from Lima. We stayed at a beautiful Airbnb house with a HUGE yard for Shadow to play and a pool. Raquel really enjoyed the sunshine and swimming, and Matt got a horrible sunburn. We also celebrated two birthdays in February and March. For Matt's birthday, we walked the coast in Lima to see the beautiful ocean and had dinner at a local Italian restaurant. For Raquel's birthday, we tried a new Peruvian restaurant and her co-teachers and students showered her with lavish gifts :-) (which she deserves ALL of!)
Joe & Corrine
The first quarter of 2022 saw the dessert as its usual warm winter haven. We thoroughly enjoyed the Ram's win in the Super bowl (sorry Donny) and we just enjoyed the weather.
In March we went to Puerto Vallarta with family and friends to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary (which isn't actually until April). Unfortunately Conner got ill so Bobby and Jacque had to cancel at the last minute. We stayed for close to the entire month of March but family and friends were there for about 5 days. We had several great dinners, a Sunday morning brunch at the golf club and sea food to satisfy the most discerning palate.
Aside from that, not much happening. We are beginning to pack for our summer trip. This summer we are going to Europe for the British Open, a cruise and lots of train rides around Europe. Will fill you in on the next blog. Enjoy the spring! Happy Easter!! Hope your weather is getting better.

The Bohlens are operating on empty, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Jacque has been doubling up on accounting classes (and has three right now for a two-week period) as she works to earn enough credits to sit for her CPA license exams late this year / early next year, but that thankfully ends in early June when she goes back to one class a semester. Bobby has been tirelessly AMAZING and caring for muddy dogs and cranky kiddos, who have spent most of the past two months with some sort of cold or stomach bug. We are looking forward to the summer and (hopefully) easier times, and we are excited for our trip to Arizona to see Mima and Nanu later this month since we had to cancel our trip in March.
