Covid Chronicles: Part 25

March 13 marked one year since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. It has been a long, stressful, and exhausting year. Our family has been impacted so much by the pandemic, but we continue to persevere, count our blessings, and believe that brighter days are ahead.

 The girls and I hiked at the park in our neighborhood.

Tal and I participated in a head sizing study. We got our heads measured, so our measurements can be used to design hats in the clothing industry. Tal and I each received $50 for participating in the 20-minute study.

Hadley loves riding her new bike that she received from Grandma Barbara as a Christmas gift. Hadley loves the hand brakes!

Hadley and I went hiking on the Neuse River Trail. We loved climbing the rocks and admiring the rushing rapids and waterfalls.

Savannah used so much creativity to design these complex Perler bead creations.

Hadley and I snuggled in bed, while she read some books to me.

Over the last couple months, Hadley has been reading from a boxed set with 25 nonfiction books that reinforced 25 sight words. Hadley is ready to move onto the next reading level!

Tal and I color coordinated our church outfits on Palm Sunday.
