Covid birthday

12th birthday

-Julia chose ribs and ice cream dessert for her birthday meal. It was nice to have Grandpa and Grandma celebrate with us. We wore masks and took them off to eat. Julia wanted a redecorated bedroom for her birthday present. Julia and Lexi switched bedrooms, so Julia has the larger one now. She chose teal as the main color. Julia enjoyed perusing pinterest for colors and accessory ideas. Julia loves to read, color, bake, listen to audiobooks and play volleyball. Her good friends are Leila, Jill, and Elianna. Julia does well in school and likes to help people. Happy 12th birthday Julia, we love you!

-Tim and Jenny adopted Melody and we were able to watch the proceeding over zoom. It was kind of cool to see Ben on from the Middle East, Great Grandma, Jenny's parents in IL, Steph from Ohio and so forth. 

-The middle school had their first in person band concert of the year! The students wore masks when they weren't playing and were spaced out. Each student could have 4 people attend, wearing masks. It was wonderful and bizarre to be in a room full of people again listening to a concert. 

-The high school went virtual for 2 weeks as covid cases were up in high schools. 

-Stephen began Little League baseball practices- chilly

-Isaac began middle school baseball team practices-also chilly

-I forgot to write down that Caleb and Isaac played on indoor soccer teams in February.

-Caleb began lacrosse practices-chilly. One of the lax players tested positive for covid so the whole team had to quarantine. We were nervous as Caleb was leaving early for spring break with our friends. He got a negative covid test and he had about 8 days of quarantine before leaving for spring break. We did all kinds of discussing CDC recommendations and decided it was reasonable for him to go- he was relieved! 

-Nate got his first covid vaccine!
