April featured us settling in to homeschooling and the pandemic — well, as best we could. Highlights included getting a tumble track for the dining room; visiting Holly for her birthday; a family Zoom talent show; Passover on zoom; Easter; hiking with the kids; and enjoying good spring weather.

March 2020 is when everything changed — pandemic hit, spring break basically got cancelled, kids started staying home from school, etc. We still managed to have some fun: some activities before everything got shut down (gymnastics meet, Brynn’s school field trip, ice skating, and then of course lots of time around the house.

Aah, to see the world through the eyes of a child. We can’t experience that, but we can get pretty close but looking at all the photos/videos/screenshots the kids took in 2019 with “their” devices (for Esme, it’s her phone; for Brynn and Han, it’s old iPhones that we repurposed and let them use mainly around the house).
To be honest, there are a ton of images in here, a lot of them blurry or nonsensical, so it may be largely a waste of time looking through them. (We didn’t really edit them, just downloaded them off the devices to back them up/save them for posterity.) Still, there are some gems, and even the “bad” ones give you a glimpse of things they thought were important to capture, which in and of itself is interesting.

As has become the tradition, we headed to Colorado for winter break and spent a week with Mimi, Papa and Uncle Patrick. In addition to getting to celebrate Christmas (and Hanukkah!), we got to play on the new zipline they got for the kids, feed the chickens, play with the dogs, visit Papa at work, make soap, do lots of painting/making/crafting, go skiing, play in the snow, and more.
