Winter 2020

After the Rose Bowl, things returned to normal for us. It was a nice change of pace not having to adjust to myriad school cancelations due to snow/ice/wind like last year.

Iris finished up her wrestling career (didn't quite want to continue to the end of the season), and we switched our family's focus to baseball. Nick took one or both kids to the batting cages and I went along to help Iris a few times.

Nick and Iris went to the Father-Daughter Luau hosted by our YMCA & BGC.

I spent a couple days down in Madison for training and ended up helping my sis and friend in a Schitt's Creek bar trivia contest. So close!

Valentine's Day came and went, bringing more sweets into our house.

Felix had a piece of artwork entered into a statewide show, and all close family except Nick's sister joined us for the reception at the Capitol at the beginning of March. It was nice to have both sets of grandparents and my sister all together for a nice lunch at the Great Dane afterward.

We had a half-birthday pool party for Iris and three friends (Ada and Rynn swam, but Kinley declined to). They had a great time!

And playing in the background during all of this was the increasingly loud talk about the "novel coronavirus" or COVID-19. More posts on our experience with that to come. I wanted one pre-pandemic post for posterity and comparison...

First Half of 2026

It's been a whirlwind of a summer so far, so much so that I forgot to whip up this blog post until now.  2026 has been good to us so far...
