Merry Christmas from Breck!
This is Breck. Jake crossed the Rainbow Bridge on July 3, but before he went, we got really, really close. He passed on many secrets about our people and taught me how to write a Christmas letter. In addition to calling the police, befriending deer, and chasing skunks, I've been taking notes on the Biggs activities all year.
2015 was busy. I fetched a stick. D'Lyn saw Mamma Mia with friends and became Trim Healthy Mama. with friends and became Trim Healthy Momma. Kait played indoor soccer. We love Hopdoddy's, Lucy's Fried Chicken, and Lick Ice Cream. Kait's soccer team won their Houston tournament, saw emus and visited with the Baehrens and Coach Rena. I fetched a stick. Abbie lives in her Eno. John was unemployed, then self-employed, then employed, then unemployed, and now employed! D'Lyn loves the hike & bike at Town Lake. Abbie played with Austin Stars. We hung the Eno in Abbie's room. Now there's a hole in the wall. I chased a stick. Nou gen konfyans nan Jezi pou 19 Mei! Kaitlyn Johnson surprised Abbie. Abbie cried. Kait won 3rd in Ready Writing -- Mom's genes! I ate a Rib bone! Kait's soccer team won State! Our yard flooded, the pool turned green, and the retention wall out front fell -- again. Our thoughts and prayers went out to Wimberley. Our neighbors made sandwiches and snacks for the volunteers. Lake Travis went up and up and up. Our pool turned green. Tornado Warning! Abbie and friends sheltered at Amy's Ice Cream; D'Lyn & John sheltered across the street with wine. I jumped in the green pool! Cy-Ranch Baseball won state! Hayden was on TV! Kait played sand volleyball. Abbie is a CrossFit beast. D'Lyn did the the Fluvanna Homecoming. Abbie loved Baylor softball camp. We went to the July 4th parade, and I stole a lot of candy. D'Lyn & Christine took Abbie and Kaitlyn S. to North Carolina for softball camp. They toured UNC, Duke, NC State, Elon and Wake Forest. The shrimp & grits were awesome. "Where is your *real* State Capitol?" Everything is bigger in Texas. Lunch with cousin Robert Lloyd. Crashed Wrangler World Headquarters. Kymber spent the week with Kait. Hairspray and Barton Springs. Lunch with the unsinkable Sandy Brown. I played tug of war! Camp Blue Haven recharged the girls. Abbie came home with the biggest smile. We picked Madison Stephens up on the side of the road. She and Kait played indoor and scored goals! I helped pick up the socks. We survived the summer without Blue Bell -- barely. Kait started 7th grade, and Abbie is a Freshman. Kait rocked Cross Country and brought home some hardware. And she turned 13. Abbie played Fall Ball for LT and the Austin Stars. Kait's Coach is KC Crabb. I got a treat! Fall Ball in Houston and Tyler, visiting with friends and lots of time with Boomer, Mimi and Pa. John & D'Lyn went to the Rice / UT football game. I chased a ball! Our new neighbors come with two cute kiddos and Rocky. He's not quite Jake, but I'll let him try. GREAT babysitting gigs. D'Lyn and Team Tiara walked the Breast Cancer 3-Day for the 10th year. Abbie, Rana, Sarah, Callie and Amber walked with her. Kait and Kamy were on Youth Corps. Team Tiara raised $110,000+ in 2015 and has raised over $1 Million to date. D'Lyn's pink hair was PERFECT. D'Loopy loves her 10th Anniversary T-shirt quilt. I chased a Skunk! Kait's in Choir; her concerts are impressive. She's playing the guitar again! Hudson Bend loaded ALL the kids on buses for a Day of Service. Abbie turned 15 and got her Learner's Permit! Watch out Lakeway! Go LT Football! CBH reunions are so much fun! Abbie is in Debate -- she has to wear a dress! Kait built a roller coaster -- very fitting for a teenage girl! I played with Rocky!
We hope you had a great 2015 and are wishing you a Fantabulous 2016! May God Bless You!
Love, Breck & Co.
