So much has happened in the last 4 months. I've been to Rexburg twice. In September, Hannah and I took Alex back to college and I got to meet Melody. Then Glen, Eric, and I drove to Rexburg at the end of September for Melody's baby blessing on October 1st. We enjoyed General Conference while we were there.
Alex had his birthday and our nephew Joseph married Amanda in October, after which came Glen's Chautauqua (a class he taught and participated in from our local museum).
My Mom came with Denise at the beginning of November, allowing Denise and me to see Hannah in the play "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play" put on by the Reno Little Theater before Denise had to fly out again. Fabulous production! Great job done by all 6 cast members playing a ton of roles.
Other November happenings: Joy turned 6 and Eric turned 32.
Glen, Eric, Mom, and I went to see Hannah in her play on her birthday at the beginning of December. Then I had my birthday, the celebration of which included lunch and crafting with my friends.
And then it was Christmas! Alex came home from college. Hannah came in as well. I think we had a wonderful time together.
Later that week, we attended Hannah's December Party. There were 4 areas-- birthday (which wall included Hannah and me, of course, and then 4 of her friends who attended the party as well), Christmas, New Year's, and "Good Feelings" (where you write down the things that make you happy and post them on the wall--sadly, I didn't get a picture of that wall).
And then New Year's Day, Eric tested positive for COVID. That meant that while they were negative, Glen went to stay with his dad so he continue to take care of him and Alex had to go elsewhere as well so he could go back to school on time and without COVID. So, last week was a quiet week here with Eric staying in his room all week and mom and me not going out much either. Alex has since returned to school and Eric was still testing positive on Friday. We need to test him again...
I tried to put the photos in chronological order, but was unsuccessful...
