July Days

Micah's ONLY CHILD Week!

Jeff dropped Gavin and Josh off at Spalding while Grace and I were in Seattle for Taylor! Grace went to work crew when we got back...in hind sight she said that was a lot! But Micah enjoyed a week being an only child...we helped C&L surprise Philip with a welcome mat at his condo as he arrived from Portland, made raspberry jam and took the Eccleshalls to the Hatch Pool!

February Findings

We've been thinking a lot about showing love to everyone, no matter their skin color or demographics, and Jeff is featuring Black History Month in his morning quotes, so we see a lot of inspiring quotes and memes on our photo reels these days...

Micah and Josh were just listing the soccer jerseys that they MIGHT be wanting, should they get Valentine's Day presents this year...

And I giggled my way through eyeballing my children's faces. Quite therapeutic.

Nessa kept napping through our online work hours...

Grace made the most beautiful piece of art to use with an excerpt from Amanda Gorman's Inauguration speech: The Hill We Climb.  Watching the inauguration in January was quite powerful, while feeling the pull that keeps dividing our country in two.  

On Grace's work-from-home days we tried to walk the dog in different parks to change it up for us.  This was the switchbacks, by the Bozarth Mansion.

And the Eccleshalls got a puppy!!!  We got to meet Skye and she is DARLING.  Look at little Elisa training that pup!

Covid Week #9--Mother's Day, the Farm, Nessa Photoshoot

We went down to the farm for the day--Mother's Day!  Or at least the day before Mother's Day.  So nice to see my mom--and the kids, their cousins!

Flowers, birdhouse, and food outside--a great day to be a mother of dragons.

We started watching the Avengers movies--in order!  A great undertaking for 2020.

I got some flowers from Ritters...

Flowers planted, and Eccleshall time!  They are the one family we never quarantined away from.  Micah LOVED seeing them every day.

Nessa meets Swede!  She behaves so well around Old Man Swede.  Maturity.  It's a wonder.
