Happy 2024, everyone! The Kirk fam had a busy but fun holiday season, so much happened!
Kirk family holiday happiness in pictures.
Saying goodbye.
In other news, we got the bad news that our beloved van (aka: Buzz Greenvan, because of its high tech--in the late 90s!--Infinity Sound System) needed a new transmission. Sadly, this meant it was time to officially retire my first, and only, new car.

Buzz saw our family through not only the day-to-day errands, but also countless family vacations. Including its final trip up to the mountains for Christmas two years ago.
In 2021, Buzz carried us to the other side of the Bay to get our first (and second) Covid shots.
And for the next couple of years, it became Kid #5's primary mode of transportation to and from his job as a rowing coach.
In January of 2022, it foiled a would-be car thief by forcing him to trash the steering column so badly that Buzz could only drive straight ahead...into our Highlander. Not sure if this was an act of sibling rivalry or not, but still.

This is Buzz leaving to spend retirement helping Habitat for Humanity. (Yeah, I got teary. No, I don't have any pictures of that.)
