Merry Christmas from the Cheadle Family!
What a year 2024 has been! It’s hard to believe we’re wrapping up another busy and joyful year, and we hope this letter finds you all well.
Our year kicked off with a fun adventure in January when Joseph and Aubree took a trip to the Black Hills with their good friends, Sheldon and Ciera Bartholomew. It was a beautiful getaway, and we treasured the time with friends. In April, the whole family packed up and headed to Indiana to visit the Bartholomews again and witness the spectacular solar eclipse together. It was an unforgettable experience!
In May, Aubree enjoyed a whirlwind trip to New York City with her friend Sonya. The highlight? Seeing the Broadway musicals The Great Gatsby, The Outsiders, and Suffs—which Aubree hasn't stopped talking about since!
Back at home, Joseph continues to work remotely for TruBridge, managing a software engineering team. In his free time, he enjoyed helping with the Minneota Robotics Team and he plays the trumpet in the Southwest Minnesota Orchestra.
In the fall, Aubree began a new job running the after-school program at St. Edward School. On top of that, she keeps busy serving as the Primary President at church, overseeing the Sunday School program for children ages 3-11.
When she does find a spare moment, you’ll probably find her with a book in her hand, an audio book in her ear buds, or singing along to show tunes or Taylor Swift.
The kids have had a fantastic year of home schooling and activities.
- Will (7, 2nd grade) loves all things engineering, enjoys swimming, and has started violin lessons.
- Abby (almost 6, Kindergarten) is excited to be learning how to read and loves art and playing with her stuffed animals.
- Emma (4) attends Montessori preschool two mornings a week at St. Edward School. She keeps us all smiling with her endless energy and curiosity.
The kids also keep busy with church activities, swimming lessons, and fun home school outings.
Our biggest news this year is that in August, we began building a new house—just around the corner from Dawn and Jeff! We hope to be moving in this spring, and we can’t wait to start making memories in our new home.
We’re grateful for a year full of blessings, learning, and love. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
