Well. It’s year-end and not counting this entry, I updated this blog 18 times. How’d I do? 

Even though it’s totally cliche, I feel as though it’s also totally appropriate, given today’s date, to highlight the highs and completely ignore the lows for 2023. However, I’m tired and I can’t remember much. Plus I don’t always have the right words, or any words, and without words it’s tough for people to, you know, read a blog, rarely updated or not.

If you’re thinking “oh boy, not the highlights for a family of eight! We’ll never get to the end of this post,” right now, I can assure you that it will be much shorter than you imagined because when asked what their highlights were, four kids said “BVIs”, one said they didn’t know, and one chose that time when he pretended to be the bodyguard for a friend who was pretending to be someone famous.  Wow. You really can’t compare your year to our amazing, awesome, wonderful, fantastic, better than ever year, can you? 

Moving on to the resolutions we obviously work on all year, I thought I’d list our new ones here–
