With the holidays over and lock-down in full force I thought it might be fun to blog a typical January weekend. I began taking pictures early Saturday morning. As it turned out, the weekend wasn’t exactly typical as we had more visitors than usual.
The children started the day with a pancake breakfast. Soon Auntie and Tommy arrived with some new games. The games were carefully selected by Auntie to be games that use the brain so Drew was able to participate fully. We also began a 50 state quarter collection. We’ll be studying the states one by one. Each time the children will add that particular coin to their collection. Years ago I began collecting the quarters, so I plenty of the first 25 that were issued. Then I got busy and stopped collecting. Once we get past the first 25 states Jen will probably be bringing rolls of quarters home from the bank as we search for the rest of the states.
During the afternoon the children played with colored play putty while Uncle Matt put up new book shelves and a huge world map in our room.
In the evening Kelly, “Big” Ry and Elliott arrived for a visit. Everyone shared pizza, time in the hot tub and had a wonderful time!
On Sunday the children were thrilled with a visit from Lindsay. Due to our unseasonably warm weather the boys went outside for some football with Papa.
We are blessed with so many caring friends and family that help make lock-down not only tolerable, but actually great fun!

I hope to be able to visit this coming Saturday! Turns out I just had a little cold yesterday and feel nearly fine, just a little snuffly, today.
