It's been awhile. Work, home school, and singing for Pascha kept me busy. But I will try to be back more frequently. I realized this is a good a journal as any and I'm terrible at writing in a physical journal with a pen. I have the best of intentions, but it never seems to stick. How many times do you need to do something to form a habit?
Porch Photo Shoot
Late last year, I decided to move our annual photo shoot to the Winter or Spring, rather than the Fall. We have a lot of family photos with colorful leaves and brown grass. I thought, "What fun if we do a Winter shoot in the snow!" Then COVID-19 hit. Needless to say, we didn't get photos taken.
Then, a neighbor posted her photographer would be in the neighborhood doing Porch Photos! Perfect timing, as we also needed a photo to submit for the Church montage for Pascha. Our photos turned out awesome, despite L having a small meltdown just as she arrived. Angela Rabbitt was amazing! She kept her social distance and got L to smile after a few last minute tears.
If you didn't get a card from us this past year,
PLEASE don't remove us from your list! I promise there will be one coming next year.
We Made the Internet
Side note - about a month ago, the Minnesota Children's Museum asked for submissions for their blog to share how families were being creative at home. I submitted shots from when we painted our front window to brighten our street and celebrate Pascha. I had no idea if they would be accepted. Found out today that we were the
post for the day!
Can't say we broke the internet, but the Communications Director reached out to me to let me know she had posted it and the response was really positive with a lot of engagement. So glad that we could inspire others to be creative, too!
