May

We finished school with a rather pathetic effort. Silas was a trooper the whole time, but math and ela was all that survived until the end. Here is our homemade ice cream and milk magic before we turned our back on science.

 

Some early birthday presents. The bike from mom and dad and the ring toss from Alan and Marcia.

 

Things are opening up and we are starting to get out more. Meemaw has outfitted us with a wardrobe of fashionable masks. Our first family reunion was a belated Easter egg hunt and celebration of Logan's birthday.

Lots of prayers for our buddy Lucas in the hospital and this month's winner for chat pics.

 

Life felt normal for one weekend where we escaped to Anderson.

 

We got a fish named Smashie.

Last day of school pictures. Silas is showing off all the work we were turning in to be thrown away.

Freedom quickly led to this...

closely followed by this.

More at home fun.

 

Class Zoom.

Flat family we made to put in our seats at church so Pastor Jeff wouldn't feel lonely.

Easter

 

 

Ms. April dropping off goodies!

Definitely worth having two children.

Nature is cool.

All my teammates!

A new blog staple. Best of friend chat filters.

March

This month started out well.

Saw Trenton in Greenville for the SEC Women's championship.

Celebrated Lizzy! Cool capes from Julianna!

Hannah and Auntie Conn swung in for spring break.

First lost tooth!

Sleepover with the cousins and Meemaw.

No one in 2020 needs to be informed of the rest, but for future readership, the entire world entered pandemic shutdown. Now all bets are on for when we will have any interactions of note outside our humble abode. We are working/schooling from home and not to make light of the situation, but I feel a little like Esther in that Daron and I may have been created for a time such as this. I am sad about missing Gigi's visit and Trevor's graduation. We are currently on week three. Some days are better than others but as a silver lining, I think there has been a kind of beautiful unity amidst the "social distancing". We now find joy in playing Guess Who on Zoom and trying to make all our faces change color at the same time with Facebook filters. Most days I fail to get dressed and watch copious amounts of television, however on one productive high I did start both a family yoga and book club. We will see how far those carry us.

I've never been so glad as when the daily shadow measuring project ended.
