Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Breck!
Hey again! This is Breck! 2020 started off so great! My people ate the black-eyed peas, we did all the things, and....
Mom was a publisher. Everybody got Global. Kait still worked at Bahama Bucks. Abbie went back to University of Rochester and got a bootleg hedgehog named Rizzo. Mom had lunches with friends. In restaurants! Dad was in Houston a lot. Kait and friends spent the day at Six Flags. Our Super Bowl party rocked. Care package party. Kait took the ACT. The hedgehog died. Dad went to NY. Abbie saw the Lumineers and Mt. Joy in Buffalo in a blizzard. And she touched the lead singer's hand! Mom and Kait went to St. Louis and New Orleans for college tours at WashU and Tulane -- and Mardi Gras. Abbie played her first College Softball games! mom booked the trip to California to see Abbie play Spring Break -- the Beach ... skiing at Big Bear. Mom saw Come from Away. Kait ATX Weekend. Dad visited Abbie at school! Mom & Dad went to the Creek with Anthony & Cheryl. Mom wasn't a publisher anymore. Abbie came home.
AND SHE STAYED!
Spring Break in California was cancelled. Dad stayed home. Mom bought a lot of soup because she couldn't find the "good" toilet paper. Mom made masks. And more masks. And MORE masks. Everybody took me on walks. All. The. Time. Abbie saved the baby birds. Creek time! Snow Cones were "essential." Kait's SAT cancelled four times. Chocolate Banana Bread for the WIN. Brecklyn and Kennedy here almost every week! Pong Fest! Dad officed in the playroom, and everyone swapped rooms. Lots of painting, but no one painted me! Kait went surfing. Mom picked dewberries for Dad's cobbler. Abbie & Kait took Dad cliff jumping for Father's Day! Lots of family dinners -- I always get the last bite! Kait took the AP tests. We are NOT fans of College Board. Abbie worked at the golf course and got great tips in a tennis skirt. Dad got haircuts on the back porch. Abbie had friends over for July 4. Kait went surfing. Dad perfected the art of smoking ribs! Mom managed a renovation at the Farm. Kait likes Logan! Dad bought Mom a new jet-ski! Week at the Creek. Mom caught the biggest fish. Kait is on the wall of fame! Kait stared Senior Year. Abbie road-tripped to the Grand Tetons. She camped out and ran into an elk on the way down. Abbie & Dad quarantined in NY to start her Sophomore year at UR. Their Air BnB was a DUMP! Kait applied to 11 colleges and has been accepted to seven so far! Abbie got an A in jazz class! She was selected for the Medical Emergency Response Team and is training to be an EMT. Mom bought a gun and flags for the neighbors! Kait finally got to take the SAT and ACT again -- a 1510 and a 34 got everyone all excited. Black Rock Coffee! Dad went hunting with Mark and Anthony. A gun deal went down. Mom & Dad picked Abbie up at the airport with Queso. Thanksgiving at the Farm! I rode the mule! Kait was named a National Merit Commended Scholar. Mom always sends Emily home with treats! We got a new washer, and the dryer died of a broken heart the next week! Mom turned 50, and since 2020 wasn't crazy enough, she got a PUPPY. Benelli (Nelli) climbs all over me and liberates the Christmas ornaments! We love to wrestle! Dad says she's smart and will be great with the birds, but she is a bit of a turd.
We hope your 2021 brings health, HUGS, and an abundance of the "good" toilet paper.
Love, Breck, Nelli & Co.
