2020

Happy New Year! It's hard to believe that our family of 7 has grown to be nearly all adults.

Clyde is still teaching 8th grade Social Studies. He stays busy with Leadership, Mustache Fraternity, PBIS, and all the other things he does for the students...and our Wardlings...like orthodontist appointments, and Tennis after school. He is a Master teacher, loved by all of his students.

I continue to work at Eastern Costume Company, in Salisbury. That hour drive, each way, is exhausting. The local theater groups keep me crazy busy, as well as the other groups throughout the East Coast. My favorite project this past year was making costumes for the Land of Oz. We have more headed to them this year as well!

Erin is a full time Nanny for her cousin Ethan. She enjoys what she does and we think she's awesome at it. We love seeing her, when she has time to spare.

Libby graduates UNCA this year, with a degree in Mass Communications. She stays busy with her many internships on campus and has already been offered a job post college!

Josh is a Freshman at Western Carolina University. He has adjusted well to college life. I'm not quite sure of his career path thus far, but we are excited for his bright future.

Jake is a Sophomore in High School. He's a bright and clever, sharp tongued Wardling. Unsure of where that gene came from...right Clyde?

Penny is an 8th grader at the same Middle School, where Clyde teaches. She even has a Mr. Ward for Social Studies. Epilepsy kicked our asses in the beginning to mid 2019. We have found a good cocktail of meds to help control it as best as we can. She's had a rough year with changing her diet as a part of the game plan. However, we've been successful with lowering the number of seizures she does have.

Here's to 2020 being an adventure!
