2019 was a big year. In no particular order, we finished our house renovation (documented in a previous post), my mom moved from Richmond to Maryland (very bittersweet), Owen lost his front teeth (but there were "shark teeth" right behind them so that he barely ever had a space there), Amelia lost a tooth too (and another one soon after), Amelia danced in couple recitals, Jacob graduated elementary school (and had to describe himself in 6 words), Uncle David & Drew came to visit (we saw the soon to be World Series champion Nationals play!), Aunt Jamie and family came to visit (we saw the sites), we went on lots of fun summer adventures (to be documented in future posts), Sam graduated high school and went off to college (UVA), there was the first day of pre-k, 4th and 6th grade, we had a grand celebration filled with hope to welcome 2020 with the Schwartzes (good riddance 2020), Mike and I went to Key West with friends (take me back!!), all five of us got a glimpse of what we might look like when this pandemic is over (not really, but it was fun to see what we might look like when we're old-er), and other fun and exciting stuff.
Aunt Jamie, Uncle Jared, Heath, Laila, Olivia & Barkley came to visit little old us!
