Climbing Walls

 

 

I was sick for three days. No one else in our house contracted the virus. The people climbed the walls. Literally. But we scored a very small snow day in the midst of quarantine and it was good for our souls. 

Some treats were slipped into grocery orders and everyone was delighted by the simple surprises. 

All of us except Ty has been cleared to return to work and school. His school mandates another ten day quarantine after the positive person's quarantine expires. He grinned from ear to ear when he learned he'd scored the entire month of January out of class. E-learning is very much his first choice.

We have an air track in the living room, stem projects to occupy evenings and and his largest ever purchase arrived yesterday. Ty saved birthday money from July and combined it with Christmas cash to purchase a new game system. He is beyond excited and I suppose the timing is perfect. Apparently the fifteen year old wii is outdated. I knew this; just reluctant to concede to additional screen time. 

Our 2020 family album arrived and every member of the family poured over it's pages, reliving the memories it produced. Despite the unusual year, our album wasn't all that different from year's past. Family time spent together is always the theme.
