Note her Rebel Alliance Starbird tear. Next is the Mirialan, Barriss Offee, the turncoat that used to be a Jedi Knight. We brought along our own protocol droid, D3-Vi, who needed much maintenance on this trip. Han’s long-lost brother, Don Solo was just chilling it on this ship. The scoundrel has no allegiance to anyone, and was only in it “for the money.”   We were in it because of his money. We were protected by Hunter, of Clone Force 99, but he abandoned his post because armor can be oh so cumbersome.      Bright Suns and Good Journey!   A few more from this epic vacation, because I know you're interested...     View More on Instagram     20 Years...                     Cozumel   Dave is on the board for a new company called Ocean Mining that harvests polymetallic nodules off the sea floor in the Cook Islands.  We spent a few days in Mexico so he could attend meetings.   Read More         Harvard Business School   This summer Dave returned to HBS for his class reunion.  It was great to reconnect with friends and feel the energy of the campus.       Weekend in Utah   Dave's father and stepmom returned home from American Samoa in August after serving a 2-year medical mission for  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  It was wonderful seeing them again and reconnecting at the extended Keddington family reunion.       New freedom   Maya played first base on her JV Softball team.  Once school was out she had a summer of FUN!  She got to see the historic sites in and around Nauvoo with the youth from the Katy Texas Stake.  She was barely home to wash her clothes and then she was off to England, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic.  This was a trip that COVID interrupted, and she was thrilled to finally make it a reality.   Read More about her travels       Highway to the Danger Zone   Maya had an epic Let's Turn 16 and Burn Top Gun party for her birthday.  Complete with flybys and 25 of her closest wingmen.  Now that she's officially licensed to drive, this girl's wings are spread wide open!   Reel from Top Gun Party       Ethen's Summer Science Safari   Over the summer, Ethen traveled around the region experiencing different aspects of Science.  He tried scuba diving -- which is a new love for him!  They rock climbed, escaped out of locked rooms, flew in indoor skydiving tanks, spelunked in caves, ziplined, visited the George W. Bush Memorial Library, Houston Museum of Natural Science, an anti-gravity house, petting zoo, and a shipwreck..     Devi's milestones   Devi is as much a delight as she is a destroyer.  She absolutely can't stand order in her life.  She truly is bright sunshine mixed with lots of hurricane.     Finished ABA (for now)     Started ECAP at Tom Wilson Elementary     Toilet trained!!!     "Please" and "thank you"     Subject and verb sentences                 World Series 2022   We cheered the Astros to their 2nd World Series Title.  Ethen's Halloween costume fit right in  with the energy of the city.             Thanksgiving Break   We headed to the Blue Ridge Mountains for a week in the woods.      Biltmore House   America's largest home was all decked out for the holidays.  Chimney Rock We spent a day in Chimney Rock State Park and climbed the monolith and hiked to Hickory Nut Falls.  This gorgeous place was one of the film sites for Last of the Mohicans and is just gorgeous.           .           Rock On         Def Leppard   Still Hysterical after all these years...       Poison   Nothing but a good time...       Joan Jett   How old is she?
