    Raymond in Quarantine

    No Comments

    This 8 year old got baptized right before Quarantine! He missed going to school and being with friends. He had LOTS of online work everyday. Miss Read kept him very busy.

    His favorite thing to do is follow Benji and Packer and Luca around. He likes to Pokemon Go and jump on the tramp and he also got a bit of bike riding in during these days of not going anywhere and not having friends over.

    Ray really kicked it in to gear with his reading. He reads A LOT at bedtime and is starting to enjoy bigger books and different types of books.

    He is still a quiet talker but he is getting less quiet. He likes to tease all of his siblings. He likes to win at everything he does. He likes to be the cool funny guy when he can. And with quarantine lifting a bit he’s been brave enough to hang with Noah a bit!

    Millie in Quarantine

    This 6 Year OLD loved getting her pictures taken during quarantine!

    And she LOVED riding her bike! She spent SOO many hours riding in the culdesac. Practicing on the bigger bike. Up and down the driveways and curbs!!

    Millie did not love the school part of quarantine. She really did not like LEXIA! I had to sit with her and help her focus. That is not her strong point BUT she did love online chats and seeing Mrs Larson. She liked only having a little bit of work and then all day to play. And she LOVED that we could sleep in and then make real breakfast cause she does not like cereal.

    Those eyes. This Smile. She is just a Sassy Girl. And she learned to climb trees. If she saw a tree she would try to climb it. And she finally convinced me to let her ride her bike to the Stake Center or the Barn or to Benson’s house! SO BIG! Still the boss around here and a ball of Sass.

    Millie goes 100% all of the time. She always has a plan in mind: inviting a friend over, doing a lemonade stand, making a fort, playing barbies, listening to music. Quarantine was good to this one!

    This is our just turned 5 year old – NUTCRACKER! His Preschool year was cut short and he really missed Mrs Janet and his classmates but he will tell you how proud he is to have never gotten a time out! Yo yeah!

    Luckily his teacher dropped off packets of homework and fun projects every week! And he had his online Rusty and Rosie to do! His end of the year assessment said that he is at a 1st grade level with his reading!

    This kid learned to ride his bike during quarantine! He just took off! and he spent lots of time riding and practicing and following Millie or Emily.

    He is the family joker! always tring to be silly and tease his siblings and tries to find something funny to say! And this tank is his new favorite shirt. If he even wears a shirt.

    Quarantine is pretty much over now. Tiago survived it. He loved having us all home and lots of people to follow around and play games with.
