Happy New Year! 2020 week 1

The Proctors joined us to ring in the New Year and we stayed up way way too late (2am) playing card games. Isaac lasted until about 1am watching YouTube videos but we put Ezra and Job down for bed at 8pm because they needed the sleep.

New Years day we went to the Rutledge's open house and then Thursday we went to the Tacoma Children's Museum with the younger Bakers. Job loved riding on the Link and we'll have to do that somewhat regularly from now on.

Yesterdat was Seth's 34th birthday and the boys tried their hardest to make it a special day for him, beginning with a birthday omelet that Job primarily ate.

They also decorated and made him a (hotly contested flavor profile, but eventually became lemon raspberry) cake. Perhaps my favorite thing was that I got to take Job to the store with me to get lemon juice for the icing (and pick up my new FitBit) while Ezra and Isaac stayed home to clean the living room together. Of course, since Seth works from home they weren't really home alone, but what an amazing blessing to be able to give them a task and expect them to complete it!

We have week one of unit 3 at co-op this coming Monday so we tried to do our history readings yesterday and today without too much efficiency. Isaac has a report to prepare as well!

Davin and Delaney spent the day with us so their parents could get some projects done at home without them. The kids played together so well! And wore themselves out. Their parents sweetly brought teriyaki with them and we all ate together, so thus far into this new year I have yet to truly cook dinner.
