I'd like to say we had an amazing spring break...
I don't know where the time went or even what we did!
Trailheads are closed, beaches are closed...it truly is a stay at home order for all Californians.
And I think it is working to flatten the curve.
We did our walking loop!
We watched a historic general conference :)
Clay ordered the wrong hat from amazon...hahaha
it's like a giant taco
Lucy and I donned our face masks and headed to Target for essential easter basket goodies and gifts.
Usually target is fun but it's just so weird :(
everyone shuffling in masked and you can't tell if they smile or want to say something.
I should point out, we had rain the entire week.
I think the rain typically comes in January but here it is!
The valley is green and beautiful.
Hard to remember all the fires last fall with this weather.
Lucy says it's her favorite weather :)
We could hear a fresh stream coming through the Angeles National Forest mountains behind us.
A nice sign of life.
We painted some more together.
Here is mine.
Lucy's
Chester's
Henry's
Audrey's
Chester getting a letter from Grandpa in San Diego :)
My Dad speaks his sports language.
Sewing lessons went pretty well! Henry seems a natural.
As well as Audrey!
With older children occupying themselves, I have started sewing clothing again.
woo hoo!
The rust is wearing off and I have completely enjoyed pretending to be a fashion designer again :)
Here is a sweatshirt I made from a Givenchy remnant!
So spring break kind of looked like...
walking(this was saturday and the sun came to visit for the day)
eating
creating
playing video games
music
and spending time each day to learn about Christ prior to Easter Sunday
This big oak cannot fit in my photo frame...much like my feelings and thoughts seem right now.
I can't fit all I have in my heart, up into my brain.
I have lived with quite a bit of uncertainty in my life.
Maybe this is my advantage right now, haha.
All I know is we have each other.
We can look up to God and trust in what we have lived through before and use that as a tool to guide us now.
When I remember something from my past that teaches me something about my future, I know that is the Holy Ghost speaking directly to me :)
Experience is an insightful mentor.
It's been difficult to be in Santa Clarita where Clay and I still don't feel like ourselves.
That's an odd thing to acknowledge but this pandemic is highlighting those feelings.
And I think we aren't put on this earth to pretend our way through the journey.
This is all real but it just feels so surreal.
So, in all fairness to living here...there might not be a better place for us to be right now.
That's my honest opinion.
Spring Break 2021 is going to be one for the books now :)
