Day 1,073 of quarantine...or Week 10...I think

I'm not sure I can keep counting my weeks but I didn't have a better title!  We are slowly seeing a lot of places start to open back up and people getting out more.  I think a majority of people are over it or just don't know how to proceed.  We are so ready to see friends and this week we got to see a few of those.
At the beginning of the week we found out Cohen would once again be a FCMS majorette!  Tryouts this year were a little different with coronavirus.  So proud of Cohen and the other girls!

Another fun thing this week was our church had youth spirit week.  Each day was a different theme with a fun prize to win!  Wednesday was Old People Day and we had a lot of fun with that.  I love that Cohen loves to dress up and have fun.  She made quite the cute little granny and turns out she was the winner for that day! 

Wednesday Cohen also got to reunite with her bff Josi.  

 On Thursday we met up with another friend Hayden!   Cohen hasn't got to see Hayden at all since March so she was pretty excited to get to see her.  We are hoping for another coffee shop date soon!  These girls have been close friends for years so it was fun hearing them laugh and catch up!    While we were there Jacob brought Cohen her prize for winning the youth spirit day.    So thankful for our church/youth group.  They have really tried to do all they can to continue connecting with these kids in such a crazy time!

Eno winner!!

Most of our week is pretty low key.  Thanks to the corona-cation we started back in March we are very used to sleeping in later and staying up later.  That one not so good for the kiddos!   I think Cohen has kept a puzzle on our dining room table this entire time.  This week she finished a big 1000 piece puzzle.  Kelly & I usually help out with them too and this one took all of us and lots of time. 

Bryce and his Star Wars buddies!

Wouldn't you know there was 1 piece missing when we got to the end!

On Friday we made another visit to The Vintage Cup.  I mean doesn't Friday always need a special treat?!  Sweet E has been getting closer and closer to crawling.  Having Cohen's yummy drink in front of her gave her a lot of motivation!  Big brother Bryce is over protective with her, especially when it comes to things going in her mouth and her choking.  On this day he didn't want the straw in her mouth because he thought she might choke. 

 We had a fun weekend at home.  We swam, worked outside, and celebrated the holiday weekend with friends and with family.  I love summer nights!  Sunday morning was church at home (possibly the last one for us for a while bc we may be back in person!).  You can see how easily we can be distracted...

Ellington was taking in Pastor Chris's message

this one was caught behind the couch sleeping through church...

What better way to spend the afternoon than by the pool!  Ellington is a big fan of the water, even when it is still pretty chilly!

cuteness overload!

my little man got worn out swimming and just fell asleep in the floor!

Living our best life still and can't believe the month of May is almost over!  Time is flying by pretty quickly but I will say we have definitely enjoyed a lot of the slowness.  If nothing else we have been able to soak up the sweet, little moments of life!  Happy Memorial Day!
