Welp. 2020 has been quite the year. Nick and Cara started the year in Pasadena, CA, where we watched the Badgers lose the Rose Bowl (alas!). March 12th was our last "old normal" day. Starting Friday the 13th, we've been heeding all covid-19 pandemic-related best practices (it's social-distancing day 275 for us today). The kids finished their school year virtually, then spent the summer weekdays outside at the local Y Camp. No baseball/softball this year, but the kids (and us) were able to get out and golf a fair bit. Felix turned 11 in July and Iris turned 8 at the end of August.
This fall has seen Cara continue to telework (which she'll be doing for several months of 2021 as well), so we pulled the kids out of their normal schools and put them into the district's virtual school program. Cara is chronicling the experience here. Our biggest change is that Nick started his own law firm in town and we bought the building in which he opened shop, all in one fell swoop. He's excited to be able to have control and grow his business.
We're looking forward to a bright 2021, though you may not see much of us until either we're vaccinated or the virus peters out. For next year, we wish your hopes are fulfilled and your fears are assuaged, and we'll get though this all together.
With love,
The Abts Family
