He's Actually a Polar Bear


 In the last week or so we've had a couple winter storms that have brought rain and wind. Isaiah and Josiah go out to the ditch on the edge of our property to see how high the water is and how fast it is moving. When the water got to it's highest and the sun came out for a bit, Isaiah decided it was time to take the plunge. I have no understanding of this concept or how he can find even a bit of enjoyment out of freezing water. He can and he did! 

Last week we had a day that was a throwback to the days of virtual school during COVID. Crisfield flooded so Renee and Lydia didn't have school, but Jeff and Janell had to go in to work. I had 6 students for the day! Everyone being almost three years older and a house that is twice the size of what we had in 2020 made for an enjoyable day! Isaiah is the one that doesn't really remember those days of 2020 and he had a little trouble settling down and getting his work done. And there was still a moment when I had 3 people who needed help with math at the same time that I felt the familiar tension inside me. These will be the days I look back on and remember with a happy heart!
