2020, October 19-25

From Indian Summer to Early Winter, we saw quite the change in weather this week. Landon was on quarantine from school and gym, so we spent a lot of time indoors and away from people. What a drag! 

We voted. Woo hoo! 




On Monday, we got a call from Landon's school saying someone in his class tested positive for C-19 and Landon would need to be on quarantine for the next week. This meant he got to do school from home while Dad supervised. One of the fun parts of doing school from home was that Dad got to see Landon's art progress through the week! 



This is what conditioning for Eliza at gym (sometimes) looks like. 

This is what trees changing colors now that fall is here (sometimes) look like. Hallie has the privilege of seeing this tree everyday at work and it impressed her enough one day to take a picture.

This is what Mike's arms illustrated look like. This is just plain fun! This emblazon was made by one of his Discord Heraldry friends. 
This is what Dad lovin' on Fergus (sometimes) looks like. Fergus seems to tolerate the affection. It is funny that Mike tells Eliza not to bug Fergus, but Hallie thinks Mike is bugging Fergus. Mike thinks Fergus likes the attention. 

He's a tolerant sort. 

Eliza in particular is enjoying new games and toys we have received lately from Grandpa O. 


(Dad may need new glasses. Shh!) Eliza thinks this is what old people look like when they wear their glasses.

This great kid turned 13, so we once again have a teenager under our roof. We got him signed prints of Uncle Iroh and Zuko from "Avatar, the Last Airbender" by local artist Josh Nelson.




We also found a creative way to give him some birthday "dough." He is debating whether to save it for a trip to Japan with Dad or to buy his own katana. 



On Saturday, Eliza and Mom went to Gardner Village for its WitchFest (now 20 years running!). The girls needed some time together, and they had a wonderful time. Eliza wanted to go into every shop and to touch nearly every every thing. Funny girl.





We woke up on Sunday to a taste of the winter to come. Eliza and our neighbor friends took advantage of the situation. The girls had a great day playing together, and it all finally came to an end at 7:00 p.m. with a starving daughter that downed avocado salsa by Salsa Madre.
