ManChild

He had a well child visit at the pediatrician today. He totally ROCKED it, even did his blood pressure (not his favorite) and got 2 shots without so much as a complaint. Awesome!

On the way home. Isaac sent me this shot. He is SO GROWN all of a sudden. Where did my itty bitty baby go?!

2020 Revisited

As is the tradition when things come to an end, it is time to sit back and reflect on the year.

2020 was a year like no other, for sure, but we managed to make the best of things and enjoy ourselves the best we could.

We are all happy, thriving, and healthy, too. Can't beat that!

~~~

I did this meme in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016, 2019, and 2020. The rules are to post the first sentence (or sentences) of the first blog post for every month of 2020. I added my comments about the post after. Here we go...

January - Dentist Visit: Jack went to the dentist and had a great time!

February - Happy Homecoming Day, Shawn! We celebrated Shawn's Homecoming Day a little after the fact because we were all sick on his actual day.

March - Memories: This came up on my Facebook feed - a memory from 2016. We watched the Princess and the Frog, and Jason used sarcasm to describe how he felt about it. Still makes me laugh.

April - What They're Reading: I love looking back to see all that the boys learn throughout the year. We had just started schooling at home at this point (nothing was officially assigned, but we did get suggested activities to do at home). At this point in time, I don't think anyone could have believed we'd still be learning at home here in 2021, but I digress.

May - Friday Five: This was a weekly check in after 7 weeks of social distancing. Actual online school was in full swing. We were still doing a lot of adjusting to the new "normal."

June - Hurry Up to Slow Down: As we rounded into the start of June, we were all looking forward to finishing the whole online school thing. (Again...if we only knew what was coming! lol)

July - Water Balloon Toss: A fun day in our pool. Shawn and Jack spent the afternoon throwing water balloons at the fence and each other!

August - Cute Big Boy Saturday: This was Jack's favorite after swimming activity - eat popcorn and a popsicle. (The boy still wants to eat his daily popcorn. lol)

September - Is There a Message Here? This was one of Jason's drawings I found. It was a "Frost Thrower" to cool your wife down when she's mad. LOL

October - Rocks: Online schooling was back in full swing at this point. This is Jack's slide show about rocks.

November - Pumpkin Carving: We had carved our pumpkins the day before, but the pictures didn't make it on the blog until November. I love that when the boys do things, each one's personality shines through their creations!

December - He's Back: Our Elf on the Shelf came back! He had to isolate himself for a day, per elf safety regulations, but he did bring the boys some advent calendars. :)

Even with the hard, 2020 was a gift for Team Lopez in a lot of ways, and

we definitely appreciate how fortunate our family truly is.

We are healthy and happy.

We look forward to seeing what 2021 has in store for us--

hopefully

it will be filled with much laughter, love, and fun!
