Margaret's Baptism

 Margaret is so so glad to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her baptism was reschedule to many times but she was patient and good natured. We started the morning watching her cousin's baptism over Zoom. It was a good start! We sure love this beauty and are glad that she gets to continue on the covenant path.

Magformers Alphabet

I love it when John does stuff like this!

Margarets 8th Birthday

 Margaret's birthday and baptism have been affected by the quarantine. She has been disappointed and really just a sweetheart about this whole thing. She was planning a big mermaid themed party for her school friends. And confused about what would happen with her confirmation. We still proceeded to make the cake and have a good time.  She got earmuffs and has barely taken them off since. Margaret is fun, sweet and has a positive attitude. Life would not be as happy without her. And we are so excited for her to get baptized! It will be the best!

Stink Bug Number Five

 When Eliza saw this stickbug photo of marie she said "That is so Marie!" She is so right. Marie was the earliest of my children to do stinkbug but the most difficult to get a photo. Whenever I would try she just wouldn't do it. I am happy to finally get the image I want and think it is fun to complete the set. Marie has been doing a lot of signs and is really glad to have a way to communicate. She likes to do dog, cat, water, and candy. She can say eggs, book, amen, and others. We all just love her.

Blue Dresses

Rosebud Dress

 This darling dress was made by my Grandma Dorothy. So Marie's great-grandma. It was so fun getting her dressed up and be a little sentimental.

Chess Game

Fire Truck Ride

 Similar to Principal for the day, John was able to pay Bulldog Bucks for a ride to school in a FIRE TRUCK!!!! So cool.

Eliza

 I just love this girl. She is so smart and interesting.

Christmas 2019

 Clara took the photo of the little girls with the advent calendar. Santa was sneaky and put the big gifts in the bathroom.

And More Stroller Rides

Here and here, hear and hear, and lastly here.

Small Changes

 Some days are so similar that there are only small things that are different like a hairdo. But, things do change and Eliza is getting smarter every day. She has a lot of will and concentration. She will sit for a long long time going through the letters on the puzzle and singing the alphabet song. I was impressed. It was hard work and it made even harder with a sister that could pull herself up and steal letters. She is a great girl.

Principle for the Day

 John paid his Bulldog Bucks and was able to be principal for the day. He was able to do the morning announcements, hall monitor, and helped mr massy pick out new playground equipment. He got to set up and be in the assembly too!  I am proud that he is the sort of guy that gets involved and is willing to be helpful and kind. John is really a good worker. It was a fun opportunity.
