April has been a different month for everyone. Schools and activities are still closed, going on 7 weeks now. The weather made a drastic change from down-pouring rain to summer temperatures two weeks later. Tim and Alicia were still able to get away to celebrate our 9th anniversary, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa watching the

March madness. A term once reserved for College basketball, now applied to pretty much everybody. As much as we wish it were otherwise, this month has been an unprecedented whirlwind of chaos. Church, lifegroup, work, kids activities, everything has changed with the COVID19 pandemic and associated shutdowns. We’ve been keeping our shopping runs to once

January was a busy month for us, starting off 2020. We had a couple of big changes this month; primarily we all bid a tearful farewell to Valéria, who had been with us since January of 2019. The whole family has been sick as well, fighting off a cold that Tim and Lydia lovingly shared

December started off busy, getting back to work. We also found our next Au Pair and she joined us mid-December. So there was some rearranging and cleaning to prepare for her arrival.

November has settled into “business as usual” with our day-to-day really settling into a routine. Not too much excitement this month. We were able to have another family over for dinner and fun. It was one of the first times we had another family over. Hopefully it will be a continuing friendship going forward. Towards

October has mellowed some for us. While still busy we have not felt quite so thinly stretched. In the middle of the month we celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles by camping out in the backyard for a week. It was a good time of reflection and re-calibration to what our focus should be on. We

Sorry this post is a few days late! July was a very eventful month. In the midst of fevers, colds, coughs, and throwups we managed to celebrate 4th of July, celebrate Lydia’s first birthday, zoo camps with grandparents, and a family trip to Big Bear. We’re also having some house renovations done. The downstairs bathroom
