• Sadly, Dad Number Two joined Mom Number Two earlier this January

• We returned to Canada in July

• We saw Bri and Kiff in Marching Band

• We went to the Weeknd, Imagine Dragons, and Post Malone Concert

• We went to the Red Sox

• We saw our First Celtics Game

• We watched Bri in her first St. Patrick's Day Parade in Boston. 

• I returned to 8th grade

• We cleaned out the Brown House and it sold 

• Sadly, Auntie Nancy and Uncle Chet left us

• We saw Polar Express in the Theaters for the first time 

• We took the kids to the Union Oyster House for the first time

• We chaperoned our first band event 

• Kiff did track

• Bri became a co-captain for Winter Guard

• We were able to watch the Celtics return to the NBA finals.
