We hope you\u2019re all having a wonderful new year so far. We\u2019re thankful for the family time we were able to have over Christmas and New Year\u2019s. DJ and Tyndale also made a trip to north Texas to visit DJ\u2019s sister and her family shortly after Christmas. While there, they were able to help our niece and her husband to load a moving van with some things to take up to Missouri where they live. On the way home, they went fishing on Lake Texoma and brought home 15 pounds of fish for the freezer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/IMG_0887-600x800.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/IMG_0887-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/IMG_0887-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/IMG_0887-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/IMG_0887-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/IMG_0887-83x110.jpeg 83w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/IMG_0887-188x250.jpeg 188w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/IMG_0887-190x253.jpeg 190w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/IMG_0887.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tyndale is back in school for his second semester of his junior year now.

We even had one morning that was 10 degrees! For our part of Southwest Texas, that\u2019s pretty extreme. But it is still Southwest Texas, which means that bushes are starting to bud and early spring is only a few weeks away. We\u2019re hoping there won\u2019t be any more extremely hard freezes to affect the spring blooms<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/20250111_080358-Large-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/20250111_080358-Large-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/20250111_080358-Large-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/20250111_080358-Large-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/20250111_080358-Large-125x94.jpg 125w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/20250111_080358-Large-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/20250111_080358-Large-337x253.jpg 337w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dj-searcy\/files\/2025\/01\/20250111_080358-Large.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>DJ has been able to settle into a routine and become pretty familiar with all his responsibilities in managing our organization\u2019s home office network by this point.
