2020, September 21-27

 We had a pleasant week of running around like crazy people, per usual. We stayed local. 

For date night, we went over to the Holy Cow Boutique in Lindon. Mike got some ideas for decorating our growlers in a Halloween theme. We also got decadent bakery goods. So much for self-control! 

Eliza is doing amazing things at school getting herself up to grade level. She and Mike are trying their best to adapt to the new situation, and they have generally set a good rhythm. We're grateful that the technology brings with it tools that allow Eliza to surpass the reading challenges that come with her dyslexia and allow her to show off her grasp of the material she is learning. 

Hallie enjoys having her little buddy Lily come out with her on errands . . . while taking this picture Lily told Hallie not to crash the cart.


. . . and visits with friends at the gym. Hello, Ladies! We are so happy to have Coach Megan back at AirTime, and today was a fun selfie day.

We have had to retire the flag Mike bought when we moved here three years ago. We were going to buy a new one, but then Mike remembered he has the one from when he earned his Eagle Scout award. After some 30 years stored away with the other memorabilia, it's going to get some well-deserved use. 

Fergus enjoys his couch and red blanket. They don't belong to the humans who brought them into the office. No, not at all. :) Eliza adores Fergus, and that is why we have so many pictures of this crazy pest killer.


We had a couple of perfect kite-flying days this weekend. While Landon did a youth activity at a ROPES course and Eliza and Hallie joined friends at Jaker's, Mike went to go fly a kite. 

At Jaker's, the girls hung out with Hallie's friend from work Mijken and her son.  




Hallie showed off her nails that she got done earlier in the day. Eliza did a great job with the photo!

She's also ready for Halloween with sugar skull Toms. Eliza is jealous they didn't have kids' sizes. 

We joined Dwight and Marilyn for dinner at their house to enjoy some of the last of the season's Roma tomatoes in Olive Garden's Capillini Pomodora, Caprese, Italian Salad, and Baked Zucchini.

In the evening, we all realized that we'd gotten a bit toasted being out of doors, but it was worth the pain. 

On Sunday after online sacrament meeting, we went back out for another jaunt among the clouds. We were joined by the jets and a curious hawk. 



Mike could handle doing Zoom Elders Quorum this way all the time.
