It has been nine years since we first met the kids and we have some of the same traditions for Gotcha Day every year. Red, Yellow, and Blue juice. Red, Yellow, and Blue jello. Cake, presents, and an updated photo book. With COVID, we stayed home this year.
It has been a tough year so far schooling with Angie. Mom does a lot of the work! The end is in sight and the ultimate goal is to finish as soon as we can and get her a high school diploma. If it wasn't for the West MEC program, I would probably have her go get her GED and a job but I am trying to help her stay in the hair styling program as a high school student.
Meanwhile, the COVID Pandemic is getting worse and Ingrid and Juan are now schooling from home. It is quite stressful and emotions are quite high. Ingrid and Juan do not school well in this environment. Juan needs the accountability face to face and Ingrid needs the face to face assistance. The fact that Ingrid is now on medicine for her anxiety and other medical challenges has helped some but she is not interested in pursuing counseling.
I continued the traditional Easter baskets but we are attending church online now. It is a different way of life right now!
