Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Breck! And Nelli!

Hey again! This is Breck! I'm 56 now. Nelli, AKA Wiggles, is still a puppy and swims a lot. 2021 has been a year for our people. They did all the things, and....

Nelli and I celebrated NYE at the farm. Snowpocalypse I! Dad got stuck in the snow! Mom, Christine, Abs, Skons and Kait went to Big Bend. Jalapeno Margarita. Abbie quarantined with Klee in the snow. She triaged a broken wrist on her first MERT shift and passed the NY and National EMT exams. Ice! Kait went to Costa Rica, came home, went back. She hiked waterfalls, got a tan and rode horses. Nelli swam. "Lake Travis High School. How may I help you?" Snowpocalypse II at home. The WHOLE WORLD was white. Our house is on the hospital grid! Dad fell down! Kait ziplined and learned traditional dances. Bungalow A1. Anatomy was tough; Abbie knows all 206 bones. Swim! Kait's a Hokie! What's a Hokie? Dad smoked stuff. On the grill. Kait built man-made wetlands. Rice & Beans, Rice & Beans, Rice & Beans. Chomp! Margaritaville! Softball Season was incredible. The Bees went to the College World Series! Dad and Anthony went to watch. Fairfield Sports Represent! Kait Graduated with cords. Swim!  Colton's Birthday Surprise! Whataburper HBCB.

Abbie worked at Belmont Senior Living, checked off Mom's bucket list with Thomas Rett at the Cheyenne Frontier Days, and hiked Isabelle Lake with Hunter. Bird! Dad caught a shark. Abbie caught a trout. Brecklyn, Madison and Liv came to visit! Kait earned a king's ransom babysitting, and decided kids aren't her thing. Who buys Organic seltzer? Cook Street is Home Base. Nelli swam. Abbie was a football trainer. Mom & Dad took Kait to Virginia Tech, hiked to Crystal Falls, and checked out the Dirty Dancing lodge. Miss Leslie rescued Mom. "Dolliver Law.

Kait's on two soccer teams and working as a referee. No headers! Nelli finally learned to catch a treat in the air. Dad's birthday at ACL with Mom, Abbie and King George. Mom & Dad visited Kait and tailgated with the Hokies. Start Jumping! Enter Sandman! Swim! Abbie's fall was hockey games, carving pumpkins, four Halloween costumes and a visit from Mom and Dad. Abbie and Matt picked apples for a pie and tried to burn the house down. Kait learned random stuff about France. Mom out-fished Dad. Again. Swimm! Kait's going to major in Ocean Engineering. Progressive's commercial -- traveling with Mom. ROLLER. Nelli swam. Abbie turned 21, and Mimi bought her first beer. Mom & Dad went to see Alabama. Dad stood up and sang along.
