Falling is exactly what Sarah is doing in the height ranking of the household. Despite her best efforts, including her excellent posture, she was unable to hold onto the second position and had to concede that Callie had grown taller than her. Safe to say she will never be able to reclaim her former position now that Callie has passed her by. The only question is if she will stay at #3 or fall to the bottom.
Although we weren't in school and play dates were very limited outside of our family bubble, there were still opportunities that we felt couldn't be passed up. Case in point, Reese's friend Ella invited her to visit their farm with their new miniature cows. Reese was in love at first sight and was beside herself when she got to bottle feed them. She certainly is a girl that loves animals and has the bad fortune of living with two parents who aren't going out of their way to bring any creatures into the home.
First Fixin's is an event we always look forward to at our church. As with everything else it was far from normal this year. However, we tried to reinvent the process of packing 150 Thanksgiving meals for local families. We went to the store and purchased enough for ten meals, decorated bags, and did our best to recreated the chaos of assembling the bags so that every family got every item they would need for the meal. And just like the youth event, we had to have a responsible parent do quality control because, ironically enough, even with only 10 bags we still had some hiccups.
Another tradition that we couldn't let go by without some manner of commemoration was the fall mix. In a typical fall we bring these to our offices to share with our colleagues. But this year our co-workers were actually our family members and we couldn't send the mix via zoom to others, so we just made a smaller amount and enjoyed it together.
