Day 2000 | 2000!
/
Two thousand days of blog posts. Two thousand. That’s crazy, right?
With everything going on right now, I thought adding a “feeling thankful for” category was appropriate for this round of team updates. The world is so full of stress and uncertainties right now, it’s nice to be reminded about all there is to be thankful for. And we’re very aware of how privileged we are to be as comfortable as we are.
SARA
FAVORITES: The sound of leaves crunching, reading (I've been impressing myself during Covid!), eating so many apples, making buttons, enveloping myself in all things politics right now, playing the role of teacher, dreaming up Halloween costume ideas
FEELING THANKFUL FOR: Two kids who enjoy each other's company and make this crazy existence as easy and enjoyable as possible for all of us.
DREAM FOR THE FUTURE: A trip to Chris's hometown. I miss my in-laws.
CHRIS
FAVORITES: Planning a Halloween escape room, showing off his mad video game skills to the boys, feeling handy around the house, thinking of where we’ll travel when this is all over
FEELING THANKFUL FOR: The luxury of a stable job
DREAM FOR THE FUTURE: Being able to leave the house without all the stress (remember when we could do that?!?)
CHASE
AGE: 8.5
FAVORITES: Playing Legos, reading fantasy books (Wings of Fire are the current favorite), practicing typing, video-gaming (Zelda is the current favorite), playing Zelda outside (IRL), watching movies/tv shows (really anything on a screen), expressing his opinion, saying “bro”
FEELING THANKFUL FOR: Having a lake house (thanks, grandma and grandpa!)
DREAM FOR THE FUTURE: Being back in school full time. He misses his friends.
ROBBE
AGE: 6.5
FAVORITES: Playing just about anything with Chase, wearing masks (kids are so resilient), free-choice time at school, video-gaming, learning to read (he's doing SO well), drinking tea, talking (and talking and talking), making people laugh, eating sloppy joes (thanks, school lunch program)
FEELING THANKFUL FOR: Being alive. (no joke, that’s what he said)
DREAM FOR THE FUTURE: Playdates with friends. Why is everything so difficult right now?
