During Christmas break we traveled to Boston to visit. Despite a massive snowstorm that somewhat limited our activities, we had so much fun. It was a relaxing trip, filled with lots of card games, ring-around-the-rosy, and yummy food. Leah loved playing "motorboat" with Uncle Greg and Grandpa, playing Bananagrams with Grandma and Auntie JJ, and she fell in love with all the cats we encountered. She currently places all new things into one of two categories: scary or nice. She decided the cats were not scary. ("Him not scary, mama. Daddy, the kitty not scary. Him nice!")
The Coronavirus pandemic has us hunkering down at home like many people around the country, and we are working to make the best of it! The kids miss their friends at school and are disappointed about various things that have been cancelled or put on hold indefinitely, however there we are enjoying the time together as a family. The days are full of extra stories, games, puzzles, bike rides, and walks. We have started a few activities as part of our "school at home" routine and figured that resurrecting the blog might be a fun way to share what the kids are up to. But first, since the last time I wrote on the blog James was just learning how to crawl, and now James is a 4-year-old big brother, we figured we should officially introduce Mr. Samuel Drexel on the blog! Sam is 9 months old now and he is lots of fun. The kids have figured out a few ways to get him belly laughing in recent days. We all laugh when he crawls after a pilates ball and pounces...
