August 2020

A representation of our family in the month of August:

Afton:  Waiting to see if my building is strong enough.

Eliza:  I built upon a firm foundation (Helaman 5:12)

Kathryn:  Tonight we learned about building on the solid
foundation of Christ, so that Satan's whirlwinds
 (blow-dryers) can't know us down.
(Helaman 5:12)

       Calvin: I tried on my new wetsuit today. 
My parents got it so maybe I won’t hate the water as much 
on our upcoming trip since I won’t be as cold. 
But I think it’s a great fashion statement. 
I wore it all day with a few brief breaks to air out.

   Michelle:  We’ve been slowly introducing different aspects of homeschool 

over the last couple weeks.  Today we did our second science lesson 

about the different states of water.

Ty:  We have to check on Calvin nightly now to make sure he doesn’t spend the

night on the floor with the light on. At least he fell asleep 12 inches 

from the door instead of right in front of it today.

My diploma came today! This online masters wasn’t always the

most fulfilling or easy, but with Michelle’s and the kids’ help, 

we got it done. Go Falterrajons!
