We had our annual Christmas tree outing last weekend; we go to a nearby Christmas tree farm where you can cut down your own tree. Wyatt fell asleep in the car, so Grandma R. stayed with him while we set off to find the perfect tree with Leah. Leah was very determined to find the right tree, and every five seconds she was shouting, "GUYS! Follow me - I FOUND IT! I found the perfect tree!" If you have a minute to watch the video, you can see some of her perfect trees - hah! We played some hide and seek in the trees and just walked around for a while. Though it would've been nice if there had been some snow, the warmer weather let us enjoy being outside a bit. Wyatt and Grandma joined us for the last of our search, and then we got hot chocolate. All in all, a very successful trip!
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...
