2022, January 10-16

We had a little COVID scare, but it all worked out. Landon stayed home from school on Monday as he still felt ill and we weren't sure if it was COVID. We played Mandalorian Monopoly. The way these kids talk smack. . . .  


Wednesday was the last day for make-up work, so Landon kind of had to scramble to get some late work done. Here's a sample of his drawings for his art class this term. He really likes drawing but complains that it takes a long time. 

Eliza went riding three days this week making up for lessons missed over the holidays. She rode Juneau on Tuesday, Jett on Wednesday, and Juneau again on Thursday. 



Hallie and friends from the neighborhood celebrated a birthday at Red 8 Asian Bistro & Sushi Bar in Spanish Fork. 

Here's Eliza back at it again. She's learning to jump while trotting and cantering. 



Mike went up to work early enough on Friday that he caught a beautiful sunrise. One of his doctoral students successfully defended her dissertation. Congratulations!

Although a rapid test Landon took earlier in the week came back negative, the slow COVID test he took Sunday came back positive, so (because they had both felt under the weather this week) Hallie and Eliza jumped in the car and got tested too. Results came back negative. Mike has felt fine all week, and he wears a mask for work. Strange times. 

After work, Mike set to work on installing some overhead storage in the garage so we can get our floorspace back and Hallie can park the van again. He finished installing the second one Saturday morning. They turned out pretty well! 


Hallie had bought Mike a linocut stamp set for Christmas, and he finally got a chance on Sunday to start playin around with it. Challenging and fun! Also, they need to provide a left-handed straight knife.
