Lincoln Basketball

It was Lincoln's first time playing on a basketball team. Dan helped coach a little. Unfortunately, we were in quarantine for most of the season, so he played only 3 games. They were called the Red Dragons. He had a good experience!

Valentines Day

The boys were still in quarantine, but we still did some fun things on Valentines day. After church, Lucy and I met Mindy and my parents at GG Moss' house. We heart attacked her door and visited with her. After we stopped by my parent's house and heart attacked their door. Later, my parents came over and ate pizza and had fondue with us. The kids opened their gifts and we hung out. It was a good day!

We got Covid

The day after Lucy's birthday party, our little nephew found out he was positive for Covid. He was wearing a mask the whole time he was playing with Lincoln, but we were still concerned. A couple of days later Annabelle tested positive too. As a precaution, I kept the kids home for school. It wasn't until Friday, January 29th that I started to have symptoms. Just a runny nose and a teeny sore throat. But I tested and tested positive. We for sure thought Lincoln would get it first, but I was wrong. On Sunday, Lucy and Daniel tested positive. Luckily they were asymptomatic. 

Funny enough, Lincoln and Jack never tested positive. Dan kept getting tests from his school so we tested Lincoln every 2 days. We kind of hoped he would get it so he wouldn't have to quarantine for so long. But he never got it, so he skipped school for about 4 weeks. It was pretty ridiculous and I felt so bad for him. 

I only had 1 bad day of an achy body, but the rest of the time it wasn't bad at all. The worst part was since I'm pregnant, I had to inject myself with blood thinner every day for 2 weeks. It was to prevent the placenta from getting blood clots. I stuck myself the first day, got wousy and threw up. So Dan injected me for the rest of the time. It wasn't very fun. 

Other than those things, quarantine wasn't too bad. Our kind friends and family brought us dinner and brought by activities for the kids to do. Dan got 2 projects done in the house. He painted the baby's and Lucy's rooms and he did some improvements to our bathroom. It was great!

Lucy's Spa Party

I was wanting to plan a big party this year for Lucy's 8th, but the pandemic stopped us. We invited her cousins, Kambree and Annabelle and her friend Amelia. She requested a spa party. We ate lunch, opened gifts and then I showed them the spa in the basement. We did a foot soak, pedicures, face masks, and manicures. Kristy came over and gave them all gel nails. They loved it! It was a fun party and it was nice to keep it small.

Ice Castles

It was Jack's first time to the Ice Castles. They never cease to amaze me. They are so beautiful. This time we went during the day and it was snowing when we went. The kids had a blast on the slides and went down them over and over again. We had a great time!
