It's 2020, and you know what that means. It's the year of the global COVID pandemic. Thank goodness it's December 14th so the year is almost over. That's very encouraging to us. Right now, we still don't have a vaccine. The covid virus is air born, and 10 times more deadly than the flu. It's like a super flu. Pretty scary stuff. Kids don't seem to be hurt very much by it. The elderly are extreemly suseptible. It gets worse with age. Lots of nurses and doctors have gotten it and have gotten very ill. Some have died. Those with more pre-existing conditions tend to do worse. It all started in about March when the virus came from China to the US. It may have been earlier; maybe February. Then we all started counting cases, feverishly watching where the virus was (on a specialized web page) and how many cases, globally, had been identified. Then, on one day in March...about the 12th or 13th, the market crashed. It became evident that Americans were v...
Today my 4 year old little girl wanted me to read her a few books while my other daughter did homework. Tempted to tell the little one "go ask your dad", I thought, ever so quickly, that I just MIGHT think back as a decreped 80 year old and completely cry about the day I didn't read to my baby girl when she asked, so I did. So, as we were reading tho story of Jonah I decided to point to a few words and ask her to sound them out. She just turned 4, so she isn't reading yet, but she knows the sounds of most letters. Well, at first she recognized "the" and "a", but by the end she knew Jonah. And Nineveh. And then it happened. I pointed to the word God for her to sound it out, and she did. It's like she already knew it. Then, the word God came up again. Again she knew it. So I thought to myself, that my completely ordinary tendency was to tell my little girl that I was too busy to read with her. If I had done that I would have missed out on a compl...
I am horrible at scrap booking, but apparently I'm an ok blogger. I'm just going to go with it! Maybe one day someone will print my blog out, and the world will have a hard copy. Here's a few family memories that we can hang on to from January 2020 Punkin's birthday was the big event. She turned 12! She is finally allowed to wear powder and lip gloss. Homemade cake is pretty much all we do these days. It's fun to make and costs about $5 rather than the $30 store bought options. Home schoolers have to save $! We also have more time for fun projects like making a cake. For her birthday Adi got a mall shopping spree with her friend from Dry Creek camp. We also got her a few small gifts. She got a bag to use as a Bible bag, gummy bears, and a smurf board game with Pez. Mall time with friends was her favorite part! That's a big gummy bear! Bella also had strep, which was terrible and she was in a lot of pain. That was all befor...
