So far this year...
January and February - Emer was sailing through 6th, loving everything about and excelling in most subjects. She was working her tail off in the pool as well!
March - this messed up virus called COVID19 swept in and canceled our Spring Break plans to Fort Myers. After spring break Emer started online learning through school. I thought this was going to last a few weeks so I set up a Friday evening Zoom meeting w/ friends called Decades and Drinks to cover the 50's, 60's, and 70's.
April - by this time Emer had a nice little schedule she was following at school and doing well in all subjects. She missed band but continued to practice at home, which made me very happy. She was also asked to join the 8th grade band next year!! (One of only 3 kids to be asked). Decades and Drinks had been expanded to include all decades between the 1920's and the 1990's. Surely by June things would be better...
May and June - 6th grade ended, summer began, Emer attended 2 "driveby birthday party parades" and spent hours upon hours online chatting and playing games with friends. Things started opening up and we went swimming weekly.
This bring us to JULY - swim practices started back up! Schools are trying to figure out how to go back in Aug. and keep virus cases low. I'm still virtually training a few clients (which I love!) and the Monon continues to be a lot safer and smarter than the Y. And
EMER TURNED 12!!!!!!!!!
Since she was turning 12 years old, she needed a gift of "girl stuff". Funny enough, she said this was her favorite gift! (Despite the little bit of embarrassment from opening some "girl things" in front of her dad and Poppy, ha!) She also got 3 new masks to wear when school starts back up. Funny little birthday gift, huh?!
