MARCH

March started off normal.

2nd grade had their play, "How Does Your Garden Grow".
Emerson was a very cute flower and also auditioned for a speaking part.  She is always so brave.




We also had the first and second grade field days right before spring break.





Spring break also started off normal but that didn't last long.
We didn't know this would be our last trip to the park for awhile.



We helped Wyatt celebrate his birthday at Deacon Baldy's...


and put lots of puzzles together, built with Legos, went on walks, rode bikes and read books.  
We also didn't realize that would be our new normal.





Julianna's shoe lace got wrapped up in her bike pedal on the last day of the "first" spring break 
and she fell over and landed on her elbow.  
An X-ray later and it looked like a possible hairline fracture.





Then there was a lot of uncertainty. 
We got a second week of spring break while teachers prepared for distance learning.
We all stayed at home and worked together for a long time.
Distance Learning was not as easy as it sounded and we didn't know how long it would be this way.  
Zoom, Canvas and Seesaw became our new normal.








School happening all over this house.

Teacher car parade.


This one had lots of pajama days.










Piano lessons and ballet via zoom as well. 


Just trying on our recital costumes.  It will also be postponed.


Recess!

Super glad we made this space in the garage at Christmas.  We are using it now.



Even church at home.

The Easter Bunny had a special early delivery.  Our annual caterpillars arrived. 






So very fun!

My brother also got promoted to Sergeant this month!





FEBRUARY

Why is February always such a busy month?

My friend Michelle visited for a weekend from Maryland.


Third grade had their play, "A Kid's Life".
Julianna and Christian both auditioned for speaking parts this year.  
Last year they had stage fright.  They did amazing!




2nd grade had a Poetry Party.  Emerson did such a great job!




I loved getting to write poems with her.



 More basketball practices and games for Christian's first season of Bball.





The girls sometimes sit and watch but not really.  They love to run around during the games.



Valentine's Day came and went.  I can't believe I didn't get any good pictures.


We tried to make an ice cream cake out of ice cream sandwiches.  
It was good but messy.



Third grade also had their Falling in Love With Writing on Valentine's Day.
Christian's class went first.  He did a great job considering writing isn't his favorite subject.


Julianna's class was next.

She loves all things reading and writing.


One day I caught them sitting across from each other at lunch!  Love this!



To end the basketball season the kids got to have a pizza party at the gym.


He had a fun season and wants to keep playing basketball.
I think that was February.

JANUARY

My dad and brother hung this lead glass window from Mom and Dad's house on their last night here.  I love it so much!

Started Project 89.






Legos and balloon animals have still dominated our house for the month of January.




A cute bear Emerson made.

Christian started his first season of Basketball with Upward at Champion Forest Baptist Church.
First practice with coach.


First game.  Go Shockers!




Tie game. 18 to 18.
I love watching him play.  Brings back so many memories for me.

Happy New Year - 2020



These pancakes have become somewhat of a tradition.


 



 Legos and balloon animals are taking over our house 
while I'm trying to get Christmas packed away.
