Nick and Angie
They are currently living in Bloomington, Indiana while Nick pursues a higher degree in microbiology. Angie has a great job working in an elementary environment doing what she loves, helping youngsters with speech formation. They purchased a 100 year old home on 4 acres. We enjoy visiting and helping with projects that require "more hands on deck"! See photos.
Alexis
Alexis graduated from CHS on June 3rd. She had a very full year with swimming and track. She plans to attend EICC and obtain her Associates Degree and transfer to SAU for an early childhood development major. She has three part time jobs (good thing, she likes to spend) and will be teaching swim lessons in a neighborhood pool this summer. Ian is still very much part of her spare time. We like him. She traveled to PA this spring to see her cousin Paige graduate.
Charley
Charley graduated from Granbury High School in TX. We traveled as a family for the ceremony. Grandma and Grandpa Grell attended too. We spent 2 days with a cousin in Heath together as a family and had a great time as if nothing had ever happened a year ago. So great we were convinced it would be OK to bring Charley home for a visit in Iowa. That visit turned sour after the graduation party we held hosting over 80 people in attendance. Charley left without saying goodbye the day after his and Alexis' party. His younger siblings were in disbelief he could do that. After all, it was all about the cash in his cards.
Xavier
Xavier was a Freshman this year at CHS and ran Cross Country and swam. He was a fine addition to each team. Xavier enjoys weight lifting and gaming. He swimming club for the Pirahnas. He is a pretty good worker and is often called on for small jobs in the neighborhood that pay--snow shoveling, grass mowing, pet care, and odd jobs. He has a learners permit for driving and likes to practice every chance he can. He is a very good driver.
Joe
Joe completed 6th grade at All Saints. He likes school and enjoys his friends. Joe loves to run and is running this summer with the high school cross country team. He is also swimming for the Pirhanas and continues to drop time in his events. His latest passion is Fortnite. Its all he and his friends talk and do. Its computerized gaming. He is addicted. He aspired to be a professional gamer on YouTube when he grows up. He and his best buddy Brandt Fellner love it.
Cariyana
Cariyana also completed 6th grade at All Saints. She is not a big fan of the academic portion of school. She (and Joe) attended an engineering camp at SAU this past week and loved it! She also has a 2 day sewing class planned this summer and swimming lessons. She spends her time on her ipod and taking care of Annie her little dog. She also sings in the children's choir at St. Peter and is learning to sing Latin.
