2018: We did some stuff

In the year 2018 each member of the Sivitz family grew one year older.  We like to think we also got smarter and awesomer at being human.  Here are some photos that either will or won't prove that:



Claire and Tyler went to school as they do each fall (they are both still in elementary school, but we're told if they keep getting smarter they'll be advancing to middle school in 1-3 years):

The kids started running Cross Country (the sport, not all the way across):

We visited the city where the heat is on:

We celebrated events of life in the Tuscan countryside with friends.  While there we ate lots of bread and grossed the kids out by kissing a lot:

There weren't any Olympics this year, so we went to Olympic National Park:

We capped the year off by hanging with family and friends in London.  There's lots to see there including this Yeoman and platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station.  Claire knows how to read (which is good since she's in 4th grade), she has been reading the related book series:

Halloween happened and the kids and our rabbit George dressed up (Claire is Katniss Everdeen from Hunger Games... she is 9, hopefully letting her watch those movies didn't scar her for life):

We did not purchase any giraffes this year.

In 2019 we hope to do similar things.  Our major goal as a family is to find some form of treasure that will reshape humanity for the better.  We hope that each of you takes full advantage of 2019 and seizes the year by its hind legs.  Our magic 8 ball says you will definitely dominate the year!
