After Amber's party the world started closing down to try and flatten the curve of Covid-19. The following week they closed church. And then school. I knew restaurants were soon to follow so we went out for reading the Book of Mormon. Just in time. They closed the restaurants the next day.
Alyssa was able to take out her endowments the day before they closed the temples. It was a special experience and I am proud of her for wanting to do it. It was a small group because they limited people, but it was amazing.
First home church and I was going crazy! So we took the kids to the Salt Flats and did some pictures. I love them! It was worth the 2 hour drive.
The kids did great the first week of the school closure. But then it started getting harder. Livi coped by organizing things. She did the bookcase a few days, then moved to closets, then the house. Lucky me!
With the closures came opportunities to serve. We went to the food bank to help sort food. And I shopped for our neighbors who were high risk. We also chalked our neighbors' sidewalks with messages, took cookies around, and invited John over for dinner once a week because he was lonely.
The Coffman's are the best! They sewed us all masks. We laughed and put them on the counter and thought that was it.
PE during lockdown.
We got desperate enough for entertainment to play some of our less popular board games.

Always love the pictures of your children, every time I see a picture of Amber it reminds me of that little girl that lived down the street. Congratulations to Christian on graduating, time has just gone to quick. Alyssa is all grown up and looks very self confident, kind of different from that bashful little girl from days past. As for Scott and Sara, the two of you never seem to change unless your wearing a mask then I'm not sure who is who any more. The one thing that has always amazed me is how well you all get along together even for a long periods of time. I know that this is a very Blessed family and as usual thank you for keeping us updated on your lives, I do look forward to this and love every minute of reading it.
