We have had a good week. Adjusting to the situations at hand. Trying to figure things out and make the best of things. Reopening is kind of anxiety inducing to me. Trying to educate our family more to be better neighbors to everyone and learning more about amazing black women and men in history. We personally do not live in an area with a lot of diversity. We are having some great family conversations about what we can change and do differently to do our part to make the world a better place for everyone. I am grateful for time with my family. I am grateful we live in a place where we have the amazing freedoms we do, and where we can work to make things better for everyone! Take a look at our week...
Have been reading this aloud and finished it this week. I love the whole series, but I think this is my favorite in the series. Finished the book, and then watched the movie. The book is always so much better, but they are good movies too! Will see how many we can get through this summer before Miss E leaves!
Mr J and his friend recording a piano duet for a local church's services that will be online. They did a great job, and playing with a mask on is not an easy thing!
Played a game with this cool kid today. I won :)
Have loved seeing book lists to help us learn more about others and to help us better understand each other and help everyone. These are "kids" books, but we have learned a lot from them. Each person gets one page and an illustration page, and we read a few each day and learn about amazing black people in history. Illustrations are so cute, and she also has one about women leaders from all over the world in history. I requested that one too, and am excited to read it.
Our service project this week was helping a friend get her house scraped and painted. Mr J and Ben working hard on this side.
Miss E working hard on a different side of the house. It is nice to be together and work together to help someone.
Saturday road trip. Last Saturday we got out of town, and decided to do it again this Saturday. We loaded up the bikes on the bike rack and went up to a big park in the city that has miles and miles of mountain bike and paved bike trails. First time we had driven that far and been to the city since first week of March!
After we had been biking for a few hours....so, yes I look a little rough :) Real life here! It was a nice day and nice to be someplace different! The world is a beautiful place! We took a picnic lunch and had a really nice day out!
Thanks for visiting! Hope wherever you are that you are safe and healthy! Stay that way and have a great week!
It is hard doing things with a mask on and can't wait for all that to be over. Such a great thing helping with the house painting. Love those HP books too. I was reading one of the last ones while pregnant with Brandon and go figure--he ended up being born on Harry's birthday July 31st! That look like a hot bike ride but I bet still fun and a great way to get out.
