February 2020 - Went to Paris.

March 2020 - Coronavirus impacts the world. Germany is on locked down. I get to work from home and the kids get to go to school online.

April 2020 - Sad news. Michelle is diagnose with skin cancer - melanoma. She went for surgery in early April and they took about 2 cm of skin out, and results showed no cancer on the edges. However, she went for a check up later in the month and they found another area of concern under the armpit. The kids will have to do virtual school the rest of the year.

We took a vacation to Bavaria and Austria.

October, November, December 2020 - The 2nd wave of the Coronavirus has impacted Europe and travel is restricted. We just stayed home and ate a lot of food. It snowed a lot one day in December and that was a cool experience.
