End of the 2024 sports season

Nikolas went with his Buchholz baseball team to the State Championship at the Twins Stadium in Fort Myers. They ended up second in the state. Sonja picked up 2 varsity letters, for soccer and softball (way on the left in the photo.) Michael didn't pick up a varsity letter this year, but he caught up to me in height while we were in Europe - making him officially taller than Sonja for the first time since they were born. Buck has gotten less athletic: he can't take the long walks in the heat, and he knows when I'm about to make the turn for a longer walk so he sits and pulls back. If I trick him and take him anyway, he'll decide at some random point to lie down on the grass and rest and make me just stand there and wait.
