Dear Maya and Emi,
Whew, this last couple months will be a bit challenging to pin down in a single blog post but I'm going to try. It's been busy, it's been strange, it's been frustrating, it's been beautiful, and it's been exhausting. Here's what we've been up to:
We managed some semblance of our annual extended family apple picking outing. Luckily we found a new orchard to go to that was almost completely free of people! It was good to see the family and to see you run around with your cousins for a little while.
School has been interesting. Maya, you've learned to roll with the punches (i.e. major internet issues) and do really well with your remote learning. You've got lots of homemade 'stress toys' at your desk to keep your mind calm and hands busy when you're listening to lessons and audiobooks, etc.
Emi, you're having a harder time online. You get upset when you can't find materials right away and sometimes walk away from the computer. However, your desire to read and learn is still strong so it'll be okay. Also, you now love practicing your ukulele and even playing in 'concerts' via Zoom. Yay!
And of course you guys have been playing outside a lot as always. We've had a truly beautiful fall with amazing colors and lots of really warm days. The one day we had a little snowfall you two made a couple snowmen, but within a week we had temperatures around 80. Yikes!
