Jude was really looking forward to getting a haircut

Things are finally starting to open up in here in Denver and Jude has been dying to get a haircut. It is the longest his hair has been in years. So, this week we booked him in to the hairdresser and he was a happy camper.

We broke up the online school monotony this week for Anna by inviting a friend to study with her for the day. It was good weather so they actually set up their tables on the upstairs balcony and did Zoom calls in the fresh air. Anna really liked studying with a friend.

It was another quiet weekend. No one ventured very far from home. The kids played with the neighbors, I baked my weekend sourdough loaf and we ate every meal at home as usual. Jude has been taking to going to the park by himself with his soccer ball just to juggle and kick goals. Sometimes Marcy and I join him but he is just as happy to go by himself.

Today, Anna had an actual birthday party to go to with a school friend. There were five kids invited and the parents had to ok it obviously but instead of a drive-by party which she went to a few weeks ago this one was a drop off, regular birthday party. When I picked Anna up I could tell she had a blast. It was so great for her to get this little bit of normalcy back into her life.
