Nailed It!

We are getting a bit stir crazy over here, but are finding ways to entertain ourselves during our stay at home situation

When the weather is nice, we are outside.  We have found random trails to explore, as most publicly marked trails have been shut down to prevent crowds gathering.

Alexander is a very skilled climber

Through his fifth leap but still not sleeping well

From the fifth leap, he now responds to his name and tries to imitate simple actions like wiggling fingers.  He sits very strongly, even catching himself and pushing back up if he starts to topple, though he did have one topple that ended in his first bloody nose.

Getting lost in good music

These two

Nikolai woke up to find that Alexander was also snuggled in the bed.  He kept grabbing big brother's hand.  Though still asleep, Alexander offered his little brother his hand to hold.

Bubbles!

Marshmallow Math:  Learning Part-Part-Whole

So independent!  He loves making his own sandwiches

We set up the ping pong table

Our church has dropped off Sunday school activities each week for fantastic virtual lessons

We said goodbye to some of our best friends.  Alexander had a very emotional response to saying goodbye and still speaks of Ashlynn nearly every day.

We received the sweetest Easter gift from Karla Kay

 

We have had fabulous video chats with Drea and played sight word bingo with Lucy and Kiera

I came down from feeding my little baby to find my big baby like this

Adventure time!  We took the wagon to a spot where builders dump river rock

We gathered some rocks and played on the mounds

We love the Netflix show Nailed It and Daniel had the idea of Alexander and I challenging ourselves to create a masterpiece beyond our skill level

Here was our challenge

Nailed It!

Daniel made the best judge!  He even shot Alexander with dollars like they do at the end of the show, and Alexander was so excited, he ran to put them in his piggy bank before even tasting the cake!

Each night at dinner, Alexander critiques the food as a Food Network judge.  Thankfully, I am usually named winner.  Sometimes Daniel wins due to his skill with proper knife cuts.

We are doing what we can to stay safe and keep our spirits high!

Baby Kisses!
