I’ve documented some of the bigger things the past few months (most hav their own post so I only show a couple pics here or end up skipping it since it has its own post!), but thought I’d document some of the little in between moments (from start of COVID mid March to July 1).
Whenever anyone in our gang is travelling, Gabe tracks their flight. Trying to get Josh home from Botswana (he was there with his Dad) when lockdown started due to COVID was non small feat. Gabe kept sending updates as to where his flight was:
Mix pictures: Lots of Reggie photos; fruit loops are my stress eating food (waiting for Josh to come home); Zach still in Tahiti – wondering when he’d be home; home church; what happens when Sam is left alone for the night – the pizza boxes overflow the recycling.
