2020 has a nice ring to it! How the year will unfold is still a mystery, but I feel excited at the prospect of its challenges and full of hope for the future.
2019 was a good year too. On Flag Day, Melissa and Chris welcomed Agnes Cecelia to their happy family. Aggie is a happy, smiley baby who fits right in to our large family. A few weeks ago at the Hennessey Christmas party, (granddaughter) Kaitlyn's son Marcus -- 12-year-old baby whisperer -- picked her up when she got fussy and the cheery baby magically re-appeared.
Last summer we decided to take the plunge and make a move to a new neighborhood in Lake Elmo, a St. Paul suburb much closer to several of the kids' households. Bob's son Scott artfully guided us through the dozens of choices we had to make. I am especially happy with the open floor plan in the new house and the light that will fill the new space. Groundbreaking on our new home is next week, if all goes well, we'll sell our existing house in the spring and move in June or early July.
