How can our oldest Shecklet be 14?!? Time seriously needs to slow down for a while. This kid is the kindest, most creative, and loving teenager I know. He requested burgers for his birthday dinner and a cookie dough ice cream cake – thanks DQ! Grandma & Grandpa and two aunties joined us for a social distance dinner in the driveway.
It’s Jake’s birthday today. The second family birthday we’re celebrating in quarantine-mode. He requested take-out from Ole Piper Inn and an ice cream cake. His sister, Larissa, was also able to join us. (The cake was part of my Walmart pick-up order and was slightly less than perfect, but it couldn’t beat his “Barthday” cake from several years ago.)
For presents, he told me the best one would be getting a text from me after my weekly midwife appointment telling him I heard the baby’s heartbeat. Thankfully the baby was more than happy to give him that gift.
We were challenged by the March Family Formation speaker to receive the sacrament of reconciliation before the April FF session. If we did, we could email the Family Formation director and she would enter our names into a drawing for a small prize. Shecklet #3 and I were able to enter our names into the drawing and #3 won! She received a gift certificate to a local ice cream shop and a pretty bracelet.
She and I went to get a sweet treat this evening.
