Highlights from Week 3 of Quarantine

The Good Moments:
- Joseph had to work a full day at his plant this week. I was dreading the day for about a week when he told me. Lydia was fussier that day because I moved up to a larger bottle size and didn't realize the bottle nipple had a faster flow. So she spit up EVERYWHERE and probably didn't eat much. Her naps were short and led to a fussy baby. But I survived. The kids and I made moon sand to play with and we all got through the day. While the moments in the day were sometimes not-so-good, we made it.
- We had some beautiful weather to be outside. It cooled off a little this week so we enjoyed some pants-weather for a few more days before summer arrives.
- Ashton had another great virtual piano lesson. We love our piano teacher and truly appreciate her willingness to work with technology to continue to teach Ashton. Her teacher is pushing Ashton to learn some hymns, which brings her such joy.
- One of Ashton's friends and her mom reached out to me so the girls could video chat together. Ashton loved seeing her friend. It reminded me how much Ashton thrives at school.


The Not-So-Good Moments
- School announced extended closure to May 4th. I'd still be shocked if we go back at all this school year. Ashton misses her friends and teacher.
- Our bathroom isn't done yet. We probably have another week, maybe a little longer, of our bathroom being remodeled. It leads to a louder house and tools in our backyard.

General Conference starts tomorrow. Here is Ashton's drawing that she did on her own. She told me this morning that she can't wait to hear from our prophet and what he wants us to learn and work on. Tanner is excited for the treats. Whatever it takes to have them love General Conference.
