November has been rough. Mikela got the 'Rona, but we are grateful she only had the most mild symptoms. We have not seen her in person since, which is a sore spot in my heart. We were also blessed that her employer paid her for the time off.

Garrett's school closed due to multiple students and staff testing positive, and Rob had multiple close exposures at work as well. So, we have all been staying home to avoid getting sick or passing anything along as well. This has resulted in lots of pictures of Garrett being cute. Please enjoy!

Rob's schedule has shifted to nights, where he will be working with 1-2 other people at a significant distance. Garrett has 2 weeks in December (hopefully) of Montessori school. I continue to work from home full-time, but hope to have most of December off. This has all made me more acutely aware of the blessings in my life! Large and small. I am grateful that I work from home. I am grateful for a professional skill set that pays well and provides some good job security. I am grateful for my health, and the health of my family and friends. I am grateful for a home and land that provide plenty of space. I am grateful for my family in friends, and that even if I don't see you, I feel close and connected to you.

Such a strange year this is, and I am hopeful that our country will pull together to help those who are struggling. Stay safe, healthy and warm.
