This year has gone down as one of our most active & exploratory. Some of the activities that brought us to new & exciting places are rock climbing, running, camping, hiking, kayaking, biking, star gazing, any other sport you can think of, and even work. We saw some awesome scenery and areas most people never make it back to, and that makes all the work to get there worth its weight. We do it for ourselves, but also we do it to show Rohan the awesome world around us.
This year we went all over the Southwestern US with a quick foray into the Pacific Northwest. Outside Arizona we hiked a couple state parks in Colorado, Canyonlands & Arches NP in Utah, several state parks in Oregon & Washington, camped in Joshua Tree NP and Cuyamaca Rancho SP in California. Within AZ we explored East Clear Creek Canyon, Fossil Creek, Mount Lemmon and quite a few lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.
A little about the family:
Rohan is a week or so from turning 4 and as energetic as ever. He had changed everything we knew about the endurance of a kid. Rohan enjoyed playing TBall and was one of the better players (thanks to his awesome coach!). He has just started soccer and loves to chase that ball as well. Rohan has been intensifying his love affair with space shuttles, dinosaurs and Legos...the trifecta of any soon to be 4yr old.
Rohan has weathered 99% of all the adventures we have gone on and loves everything that goes along with exploring the world around us.
Mara is doing great in her 2nd year of her Pediatrics residency at Phoenix Children's Hospital. She is also showing no signs of slowing down despite being 25 weeks pregnant with twin girls! She really is a superwoman! With the twins due in April (but planning for March) she'll have some time off with maternity leave.
Michael is still with Translational Genomics in their Center for Proteomics division. He had a blast coaching Rohan's TBall team (despite the annoying parents). Currently training for the Tough Mudder in February.
