Ski week staycation for Mari

Breakfast with future bro in law who just landed from Asia for his first week of work with OpenAI (ChatGPT).  So nice to spend quality time together. 

Mari wanted to bring home this sweet new friend. 

Boys sent us a picture of their bro-mantic weekend lunch date. Melts my heart that they choose to spend time together and catch up on their college shenanigans. Hope they're keeping each other out of trouble. Grateful they are tour guide co-workers and Ethan joins Tyler's Christian Challenge events.
