Fall 2020

Fall started with a little worry for our 18 year old Demeter-kitty.  She was losing weight, not eating, looking generally unwell.  She's had kidney disease for years, we all kind of thought this might be then end of her era.   Fortunately, she was able to turn around.   Found out she had fleas - which is very puzzling as she is an indoor kitty only.  We blame the rascal neighbor cat who will walk in the house whenever he see's a chance.  Flea treatment immediately made her feel better.  A little tweaking of her food routine and giving her Sub Q fluids a few times a week seems to be working.  We will keep loving her for as long we are blessed with her.  🐱💖

2020 school pictures.  
So happy the school returned to the photographer they've used for years.  Last years pictures were so terrible and incredibly expensive, I skipped the purchase.  Kathryn had two good poses.  Ryan, just one.  The other option looks like a mug shot.  🤣


Halloween 2020 was a bit of a downer.  Ryan didn't want to dress up.  He went to a friends home and somehow came home with candy.  Pictured is his mini haul, although deceiving because there are some small bags filled with candy in that pile.  Kathryn did dress up, as Harley Quinn. She made her costume and took possession of some boots I no longer wear.  Her Halloween was not what she'd hoped as she got in a little bit of hot water and was grounded/had to stay home.   It was brutal, but necessary.  
The sunset picture is compliments of Ryan.

Lastly....  the kids are in school 5d/wk after a trial of 3 in school/2 at home. That didn't go well - too much transition and too hard to keep up.  We've been very blessed to have the entire school avoid COVID so far. The upcoming holidays will be interesting.
