We had a pretty low key last week of February. This month went by pretty quick as did this week. Nyles got out early on Thursday afternoon for parent teacher conferences. We spoke to his English teacher Mrs. Sullivan, and his Spanish teacher Senior Dunn at the same time via Google Meet (like Zoom). They really enjoy having him in class and can tell he's a really hard worker. He does really well, especially orally. We're continuing to work on his reading skills. Carter teacher also called to say she loves having him in class and he's excelling well.
In our emergency preparedness class we discussed food storage this week. Here are some resources. Resources for long term food items:
For our emotional resilience class this past week we talked about our bodies and emotions. This week Steve and I are working on getting to bed on time. Also ways to show self care. We are also still writing down what we are grateful for every day. Here it is from the book/website.
SELF-CARE
Read: When you face challenges, you need to do all you can to take care of yourself. Doing
all you can means using the resources you have in your life to support you in whatever challenges you are facing. Below is a list of ideas for self-care.
• Take a nap
• Visit with a friend
• Slow down
• Take a shower or bath
• Exercise
• Read a book
• Listen to music
• Create something
• Pray
• Take a walk
• Make a list of things you are grateful for
• Enjoy a nice meal
• Dance
• Sing
• Use relaxation techniques (see pages 72
and 82)
The neighbor Jace came over and played w/ Nyles and Carter, with masks on of course.
They played in the snow pile (what's left anyway), throwing snowballs at each other.
Cute baby Hudson! He's such a happy baby. He's such a happy baby! We love his so much! We're so blessed to have him in our family!

Friday night we made reservations at Texas Roadhouse to eat out for my birthday. Ironically almost exactly 1 year ago we ate out at Texas Roadhouse just as the pandemic was starting. They were just starting to make adjustments to the way they were serving, such as not having the ketchup bottle on the tables anymore and wiping down the menus after every person (masks weren't required yet). This time they were still doing that but also spacing people out and now they have plexi-glass in between each bench as well. This was our 1st time in a year to sit down as a family at a restaurant and be served by a waiter. It sure was nice to get out for a change. Not do the cooking and cleaning up after dinner was nice too. The bench next to us was open so we were able to put our stuff over there and baby Hudson just patiently waited for us in his carseat next to us while we ate. It was a fun evening!
Ironically Saturday morning we got in the Honda to run to Costco, but it wouldn't start. We tried jumping it, but still nothing. So we rearranged and squeezed into the Edge instead. We got some groceries then came home. Our neighbor Ron tested the battery when we got back, and it was 100% dead. He then went with Steve and got a new battery, and got us a discount at Auto Zone. The Honda now works great! I'm grateful the battery didn't die the night before while we were out to dinner or that morning after we got to Costco. Tender mercies for sure.
Piper giving Carter loves before bed. He loves Piper licks!
