Happiness

Rosie is such a sweet baby! She is smiley and sweet and of a calm disposition. Yesterday she got sad and put out her bottom lip and that was the first time in weeks! She likes to read books, drink a small bottle after she nurses (we started supplementing when she was first born and lost some weight- she’s gained it all back!) and laugh with Declan. What a sweet baby girl! Oh, she likes to spit up on all of us too but that’s totally okay with us!

My kids are literally climbing the walls! 😆 In Arizona, we’ve had the highest amount of COVID cases in the Nation. Governor Ducey opened up the pools and gyms and restaurants about a month ago and the cases skyrocketed after that. We’ve been mostly staying home, trying to flatten the curve. It’s been hard and fun at the same time. We’re trying to find the joy that is in the mess of life. Our School district has said that the kids will go back to school on Aug 5th. On the 17th they get to choose between online school and part time going to class and being part of class online at home. All of my 5 kiddos- including Declan- have chose to go to school. Recess will be in smaller groups and lunch the kids will be able to eat in different places in the High School. I think masks will be optional but we don’t know for sure.  It will be Elizabeth’s Senior year (go class of 2021!), Ethan and Jonah will be Juniors, Asher will be a Freshman (four in High School!!) and Declan wil...

Asher is 14! He chose to do mini golfing during the day. It is super hot 🥵 in Gilbert right now, so luckily Fat Cats was open and it had glow in the dark mini golf. Perfect for the hot weather! It fun and pretty quick. He got some fun presents and chose Crepes for his birthday dessert. Happy Birthday, Asher! We love you!
