Four weeks of home church and I'm converted! Each consecutive week has become more and more relaxing and the children are falling into a routine. Abe and Mary prepare talks each week and share them on Sunday. Its an opportunity they are both excited to see the end of.
Without visiting members face to face, our attention has been brought closer to home. It's amazing how much time WAS spent ministering to members that lived far away, now we text and WhatsApp or call. School and friends have not been disrupted much, and for the most part sports and after school activities are the same too. Mary's basketball tryouts were cancelled and then rescheduled after the coaches arranged for inter school games against faculty teams. She's both excited and nervous to try out for the team in two weeks.
Highlights from our week:
Saturday night s'mores and street games.
Home church, forts, board games and general social distancing.
Failed glucose monitor testing. I've tried two tests and torn both of them off playing tag with Moses or putting on a backpack. The test is supposed to last two consecutive weeks with the exact same meals at exact same times. (Think Groundhog Day.) Starting again tomorrow. Maybe I need to wrap the monitor with an ace bandage? I wonder how active mom's use the readers without tearing them off so frequently.
Playdates with Moses, bus rides, trips to the park and the zoo.
Pi Day
I finished reading book that Sarah recommended, Invisible Women, and found time to read my first fiction book in months! (Skyward and Starsight by Brandon Sanderson). Maeser and I did start reading "Where the Red Fern Grows." He really wants a dog.
And my current favorite quote, as I muster up the time to write more:
Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man..." - Francis Bacon
