Stuve Family Thanksgivings

Lots of love from the Stuve family!

We ventured up to Albuquerque this Thanksgiving and got to play in the 6 inches of snow!

We don’t often see this kind of snow in Las Cruces so we took advantage of the unexpected weather.

We had a great time visiting with Tessa’s side of the family and just taking time for the quiet moments.

This downtime was much needed after a lot of hard work as Tessa just recently won her City Council race here in Las Cruces (District 2). On 12/30, Tessa will be sworn into office and will be the first female councilor who is simultaneously raising school-aged children to serve in local government. There are so many important issues that face our community, and especially this group of young professionals and working families, and I am so proud of Las Cruces for supporting this missed perspective. We are all so very proud of Tessa and what she will bring to our city.

This Fall has been a lot of fun and Penny continues to be such a delight in our family. Her personality is well beyond most kids in terms of being playful and imaginative. She can turn any situation into a chance for make believe. Sometimes it’s challenging to keep up with the listing of characters and scenarios that she will delegate to those in the room with her.

She played Little Red Riding Hood for Halloween and “Honey Lemon” from Big Hero 6 in ABQ Comic Con.

Neighborhood Park

80’s Theme night at School. Tessa serves on the Parent Teacher Organization and loves to role model .

In Mesilla, on Diez y seis de Septiembre, Luca learned how to climb the greased pole in the town square to collect the money at the top; the crowd cheered. Penny made it up the pole a few feet and is determined to keep trying next year.

This past year so “graduated” from developmentally-delayed preschool (DDpre) for language and reading into “regular” Kindergarten curriculum. Her eyesight and brain pressures have maintained stable levels. She is doing so well!!
