Back to Church

The big news for the week is yesterday we resumed Sacrament meeting for the first time in 6 and a half months.

With buildings still off-limits during the lockdown Sacrament was held outside on the grass in the courtyard for those who wished to attend in person (especially those who haven't had access to a Priesthood holder to take the Sacrament). Otherwise, the meeting was streamed over Zoom, which is how we tuned in.

The corner of the front room is now Aubrey's play corner.

Mommy has been growing her collection of colorful, wooden toys for Aubrey to have.

This is how Aubrey crawls, with one foot planted.

Hailey is so good with her baby sister.

The brothers like Aubrey's corner too.

The latest Covid numbers are 32,994,213 cases worldwide with 996,682 deaths.

The U.S. has the most with 7,114,235 cases with 204,752 deaths.

Hot Tub at Nana's

 

Time for a trip up to see Nana. And relax in the new hot tub!

It was a big hit.

7 Months Old

 

Aw! It's our little 7 month old!

She discovered how to pull herself up and just started crawling.

Like James did as a baby, Aubrey crawls with one foot planted underneath.

That way she can easily get back to a sitting position.

Now that she's more mobile Aubrey isn't fond of lying on her back.

She is such a fun little baby. We're so glad to have her in the family!

Back to the Beach

 

It's a nice day and we're out at the Beach.

These kids love getting outside to run around and play.

Hailey and James found a bunch of seaweed to play with.

Aubrey just wants to do what everyone else is doing.

What a silly girl.

Evan loves reading these graphic novels.

Woah! Big haul!

James helping.

On the hunt.

Don't they look like they're having so much fun?

What a cute bunch of kiddos.

Standing up and Starting to Crawl

Playing around in a container.

She thought it was fun.

She just learned to pull herself up, so she's been practicing all around the house.

So pleased with herself.

And she's getting ready to crawl.

Right now she flips onto her tummy and lifts herself up.

She'll even spin herself around on her tummy.  She's getting so close!

While Jeni wasn't looking, Aubrey got into a bag of lemons.

How's it taste?

...Aaaand, she wants to eat the bag.

Piggy back ride from Evan!
