Red Thread...

There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that there is an invisible red thread that connects each of us to all of the individuals who have been, currently are, and will in the future be important to us in our lives.

This red thread can stretch, twist, and bend… but will never break.

A Trip to the Orthodontist

Everything feels different right now - even a trip to the orthodontist. Katie's orthodontist is doing a great job with safety measures. We were so happy to hear that everything was right on track for her.

Just a little adjustment to my retainer and a quick mouth exam, and I am done for another six months!

Just Having Fun

 It's always fun to see kids enjoying their toys!

I think it's best to spread my toys out, so I can see everything!

The Farmer's Market

 Ever since March, we have tried really hard to stay out of public places as much as we can. Last weekend though, we decided to try the Farmer's Market. We were in and out quickly, but Katie was able to get some of the peaches that she loves.

We have never had such a quick visit to the Farmer's Market.

Walking the Dogs

 Katie decided to come with us to walk the dogs, and she enjoyed being in charge of Bailey and Sophie again.

Even though Bailey and Sophie are small, they are strong when they get together!

Trying to Grow a Plant

 My sister had read on the internet that you could slice a tomato and plant it, and the seeds would grow into a plant. Sounded like a plan to us! Katie was excited to do some planting and treat this like a science experiment. We decided to try this in a small pot, and then if we get plants, we'll transfer them to a bigger pot.

First, I pot some soil in the pot.
Once the sliced tomatoes we're in it, I covered them with soil.
I couldn't find our watering can, so I just watered them some with our pitcher. I hope some plants grow!

Hearing from a Friend

 It's always a good day when you hear from a friend!

I couldn't wait to get home to read my card from Kai!
