Welcome 2021, we have such high hopes for you and a longing for life to return back to normal. But not yet. Trump still refused to acknowledge that he lost the election and basically asked his supporters to march on the Capitol building interrupting the Electoral College. A large group did just that and stormed in breaking windows and doors. Damage was done, graffiti, and weapons were all present. 5 people died and many others were injured. The building was evacuated but later that night they came back and finished the process and confirmed Biden as President. Finally Trump seceded and the inauguration processed without any disruptions but Trump refused to attend. It was a tense few days.
Here at home it's nice to be back on a schedule. The kids are still in school 4 days a week and do a remote day on Friday. The kids to piano lessons on Tuesdays and now James will start Jr. Jazz on Wednesday. James also has Robotics Club twice a week and Archery once a week. He has competitions coming up for both that we are excited to attend. We are hoping Emma will have YW activities twice a month soon and the same for James and Mia with their children's activities. We still love our fireplace and it is also Toby's favorite.
Emma and Mia received card making supplies for Christmas that they are putting to use.
One Tues. we found out Emma was exposed to Covid from her friend Kate that she spent Saturday with. I had to go pull her out of school and she had to quarantine at home for the next 7 days. She was excited to spend time alone in her room but that lasted all of 3 hours before she was annoyed. We let her out because if she ended up getting it we were all exposed already anyway. After 7 days she still showed no symptoms so we got her tested so she could go back to school.
Found this photo of Emma's sloth holding a sloth holding a sloth.
Mia and I were also able to go on a date to get her picture taken for her upcoming baptism. Then we got some dinner at our favorite restaurant, Cafe Zupas.
