Merry Christmas to all! What an interesting year we've had! We've had a global pandemic, a new birth of our son, Josh working from home, family deaths, and even now at the end of the year, we're still trying to navigate how and when to see family in a safe way. It's a difficult time for sure, but it's also a special time of Christmas (and most of the rest of the year) where our family has had a lot more family time together than we would have imagined. What a blessing in disguise.
Josh is still working from home every day until an undetermined date. Amelia (and Charlee by default) is still watching preschool on a zoom call. Because of Charlee's ability to listen in and even participate, she is learning letters, sounds, shapes, patterns, and doing arts and crafts just like Amelia! Cal is SOOO close to crawling. He takes about 1 crawl step and then face plants to scoot forward. Won't be long until he's mobile now! He also yells "Mama" and sweetly says, "Dada." He's definitely testing his volume. Trying to keep him quiet while Josh is teaching is interesting, haha.
We are trying to teach the real meaning of Christmas to the girls. They ask questions and seem interested when we tell about the birth of Jesus. Amelia asks a lot of spiritual questions lately. She asks to be baptized sometimes. Then when Josh asked her how Jesus took away her sin, she replied, "with his magic fingers!" Hahaha! Clearly she's not ready yet 😄. We will keep discussing.
Amelia turned 4 years old!
Happy Halloween!
Amelia's favorite past time is "babysitting". She prayed that God would make him stay a baby forever!
Charlee turned 3!
They do all kinds of silly things to Cal. He really enjoys it :)
