The Growing Caldwell Family

Just in time for New Year's we were free from quarantine! We went to the lake and had a chance to visit with Mr. Dan and Beverly! We hadn't seen Lovie, Pops, or Maw Maw for over 2 weeks, so it was good to be with them too! The whole weekend passed in a bit of a blur as I was still really fatigued and had an annoying cough. Frequent naps got me through and we enjoyed our time together.  We missed time with Nay and Livy as they were still getting over COVID. Charlie showed off his marksmanship with the BB gun! Pops helped him get the right set up and he was a good shot! Mom and I had fun putting this charcuterie board together as part of our appetizer dinner! Everybody likes appetizers for dinner! After dinner, we headed outside to sit by the fire and shoot some fireworks! Charlie stepped in as chief fire builder! Sis was content to sit back and observe.  It took a while to get it going, but finally success! We couldn't forget our favorite tradition of the saran wrap ball on ...

 That time after Christmas passed in a bit of blur as we worked on really feeling better after COVID and managing work while the kids were home from school.  Sis really got to enjoy her new ipad and has found the apple pencil a lot of fun for "coloring". They worked to build a large Lego Yoda! Lucy received a toy sloth and she really likes it! We thought she would kill it pretty quick since it has a squeaker, but she rubs her face on the soft fur and nuzzles it.  I think they enjoyed their time to play with toys and lounge around the house.  We were all glad when our quarantine finished and we could finally get out of the house! Two weeks was a long time!
