Coronavirus Craze

It's insane to me how in so short of time the world has changed so dramatically. At the end of 2019 and dizzy showed up in China by the beginning of 2020 it showed up in America and by March of 2020 the whole country is pretty much on lockdown with social distancing and staying home.

We're still finding ways to entertain ourselves and occupy our time and there is no shortage of school work and busy work being supplied by the district as we learn from home. Instrument lessons continue even if I'm the one teaching them, but somehow life is more relaxed, simpler, better, filled with the love and spirit of the Lord.

It's amazing how in a crisis the promises of the gospel and Christ's blessings become first and forefront in your mind and provide you the peace and comfort and happiness you need.

Accomplishments

Isabella and Wyatt participated in the Lancaster County "Who Wants to Be the Chemist" competition.  Although neither made it to states...both did great and proceeded through several rounds. 

I put together this awesome puzzle.  Oh how I love a good puzzle.

Travis and I already got down to the temple for the month of March.  Yay!

Both Kody and Issac participated in the Pinewood Derby.  Kody made a great showing, but didn't place.  Issac on the other hand was first in his age group and 2nd overall.  It remains to be seen if he will pay the fee to move onto District competition.

 

On the horizon is the start of Kody's baseball and Isabella's track season which I'm sure will bring them many accolades.  Additionally Isabella is making a ukulele with Travis for a school project.

The kids continue to do well in school.  Kody making more of an effort than every and seeing some of the rewards of that.

 

I hope that my kids are always as driven and motivated as they are now!
