Apparently this dead bird in the bird house that we can't get out of the backyard (the previous owners really made sure it was in the ground good!) was the first picture I took in 2021?
And the second was the pile of baby/kid stuff in our room that I needed to go through. The fight with kid clothes and the ever-changing size requirements is indeed endless. Maybe this would be the year I finally got a handle on it?
(Spoiler alert - it wasn't.)
But we did get some projects done as we started the new year! First up, painting the boy's room!
And for me....folding laundry.
Seth was busy relaxing....
We tried out our new bread machine and were pleased with the results!
And Boyd decided he was ready to try baby food.
"Hmm....I'm not sure...."
"Ok, decision made - it's yummy!"
Abigail was so excited to be able to go back to in-person school for the second half of first grade!
I can't speak for the high school portion, but this is a pretty accurate representation of our experience with online 1st grade. :)
Boyd was eager to see what the new year would bring!
We started piano lessons with me as the teacher. It tapered off after a couple of weeks, but we picked back up mid-year and have been going strong with lessons since! The three oldest girls are progressing rapidly! Which is impressive given their less than stellar teacher.
It's so fun to be a baby and jump on the tramp!
Also fun - being surrounded by huge soft things.
Andrew picked the color for the boys' room and it turned out a bit darker than either of us were thinking...
Boyd's head was chilly!
Fighting naps until he drops:
Apparently we got donuts, I'm sure for something special but now that it's a year later, I can't remember what that might have been....Oh! I think maybe after we cleaned the church one Saturday morning?
Me, Kelly, and Mom set a goal for 2021 to walk a combined 2,021 miles between us during the year. That ended up being a little more than 2 miles a day each. Eve joined me on as many of my walks as she could, including this one when despite the freezing weather, I walked to Kohls to run an errand.
Enjoying homemade mint oreo milkshakes!
Sometimes church is hard...
And sometimes the boys matched!
