Bye Bye 2020. Hello 2021!
What a year we've had!
Although it's been a year of major change, there are some silver linings I do not want to forget. It's been a difficult year in so many ways, but for our family it's also been SO good. I keep reminding myself that it's a blessing that the big kids have been able to be home (thanks to home learning) to witness Annie's first year. If they had been in school, they would have missed so many firsts. And she is so lucky to be able to spend so much time with them. She's already so attached to them, and wants to be with them so much. Whenever we are able to go back to school is a day I know will be so looked forward to, but will also be a little sad to see them seperated.
Home learning has been the number one challenge in our home. Ben and Ellie seem to be handling it fairly well and enjoy may aspects of it. I know they miss social interactions with classmates and teachers, but they are doing ok adjusting and handling it. Maddie on the other hand has struggled with being seperated from her friends and classmates. And I know she would be learning in a much different way with her in person teachers. But we are incredible thankful for our school and teachers. They do so much for the kids and I cannot thank them enough.
We're headed into 2021 with hope and joy! We cannot wait to see our families and friends in person and will be embracing it once it's safe to do so. But as for now we're taking it day by day and week by week. We're trusting in Him and knowing that His plans for our family are far greater than we could dream.
Wishing you all a wonderul start to the New Year too!
