Illness was with us while we rang in the new year--not the preferred way to begin a new chapter, but it was the reality. I am super thankful for the children being independent enough to run their own celebration as John and I were pretty useless this holiday. Nikolas even wasn't top notch. Jozsef was the saving grace. Without him, I believe we'd have all been in bed very early! Thank you to all the children who stepped up and filled in and made memories the best they could be to start the year off as positively as possible. May 2022 be filled with joys! God bless us, everyone!
