Tutorials on the playground.

Hallway sleepovers are back:) Did they ever leave?

Negative for COVID, positive for sniffles and snuggles. And, writing a note to Holmes to say that she hopes he has a good day at school.

Meryl will randomly sing songs she’s learned in school and we’ve learned to captivate the moment and join in as piercing deeper into knowing about anything else that happens at school is foggy endeavor:)

Friday song!

Mother’s Day Weekend menu prep with a visit to the butcher!

Fantastic! This favorite-color-is-green-kid might teach us a few things!

We discovered Sketchbook on Disney+ and lucky us, there’s an episode on learning how to draw Mirabel in Encanto from the artist herself!

I went to Washington, DC last week!

Back scratches and snuggles with Meryl, she fell asleep and I may have stayed a bit longer to enjoy the moment:)

Texts from the home front! A BIG thank you goes to Lola and Tito for helping everyone stay sane!

Meryl made a camera…to which she used to take my picture while I was talking with her on FaceTime! See the bottom right, I look pretty good in print!

What a trip! It was wonderful to see people in person, catch-up with friends, and be inspired by the objects, artists, staff, and research scientists at the Smithsonian!
