More May Photos

Another month of quarantine, another month of memorable changes. 

Daniel shaved off his facial hair, since he's not allowed to get a hair cut.  The kids had mixed feelings. 


Agnieszka had to start having her temperature checked at work with thermal scanners, which usually estimate her body temperature to be somewhere between 92-97F. 



Our neighbors gave us a fun climbing gym, which Daniel and Jared carried a good 200 yards, over fences and bushes, up a grassy hill and, eventually, over our roof. 


Auggie and Evan have really missed rock climbing, something they were just starting to learn when the pandemic started.  So Evan has invented this new sport, which requires swim goggles to keep bark from falling in the boys' eyes. 



Auggie has been working hard at his writing and he is quite diligent about making the letters nice. Here he is writing a thank you letter to our mailman, Earl. This was an assignment from his class, and he is thrilled to do it. 


Below is a equally beautifully written note by Evan. 


The kids got to wash a car for the first time. They loved it! (Almost as much as Mama loved having her car washed!)




And we took lots more pictures with the pretty phone. 






















Ella has started to miss school and has been carrying her backpack around the house. 



Kids started to explore new hairstyles 





And we had some pretty incredible skies - due to some "May showers"




Moon, Mercury, Venus: 

(Throughout the winter months, Ella would get sleepy by sitting in the upstairs room and listening to quiet music. We would look out the window and always say goodnight to Jupiter, which was rising in the Western sky at bedtime.)

Mother's Day

 

Mother's day started with this beautiful presentation, lots of hugs and pretty cards.  Then we went off to Babcia and Dziadek's house to enjoy the warm weather (and water).
