March 2020

We started out the month with an 18 month check up for this girl

18 months also meant her first day or nursery!

And then Covid blew up and church has been canceled ever since..

March house projects

We built a slide out pantry to make the empty space next to our fridge into something useful.

We also began creating the mudroom bench area.

I finished up some of the details in Avery's room.

Taylor helped me build the doll house shelf, and I painted the rainbow

We also changed out the light in her room.

Hand delivered toilet paper for us on a day that was actually nice enough to be outside!

Another dental cleaning in the books for all 3 kids.

Unfortunately, we got the news that it was time to take care of Hudson's cavities which meant going under a few weeks later to get them all taken care of at once.

At least the big kids didn't cry, and it was all good news for Ella and Avery.

We took a trip to Utah while my parents were visiting my sister.

Covid shut down pretty much everything we were planning on doing while we were down there, but at least we still had the hotel pool.

The kids couldn't get enough of it, and it was definitely top priority on their list of what they wanted to do.

The big reason everyone was in town was for Beckett's blessing.

Molly and Avery.

Ella was given blueberries as we left Rob's house, and in true Ella fashion she dove right in and polished them off in no time.

Because of everything being shut down we headed back to Idaho a day sooner than we originally planned. With our little bit of extra time we did some much needed spring cleaning.

Another doctor's appointment for me. 

I tried to schedule them during preschool, but that didn't work out this day.

Hudson got registered for kindergarten!
I don't know how it's possible for us to already have a child going to elementary school.
Hudson will actually be going to the same school I did my student teaching at, so that's kind of fun.
I'm both excited and nervous for him and already want to cry at the thought of him taking this big growing up step.

This was the month the month everything changed. COVID hit the US hard. States shut down all non essential businesses. People who could work from home were instructed to do so. A lot of people were laid off. People flooded the stores stocking up with food, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies. Shelves were emptied and toilet paper was hard to come by. Schools were temporarily shut down, including Hudson's preschool. We were instructed to stay home and isolate ourselves from anyone not in your immediate family. It became a regular thing to see people wearing face masks.Taylor is considered an essential employee, so not too much changed for us besides me not taking the kids to the store anymore. We  mostly isolated ourselves, but for our sanity's sake we still saw our little group of friends.
