”This is so easy!” An exasperated S practices to take her test to get her driver’s permit.

In another city, M’s team wins their soccer game.

Back in Cville, A goes to his first ever open gym for dudes playing volleyball.

and I finished vacuuming, washing dishes, and taking out the trash. Now waiting at urgent care about a rash.

and that’s one day in our life!

We have been trying to show up at school and at home. We also are so grateful to the YMCA for free tickets to the “lesson in perseverance” UVA football game – absolutely amazing on the part of both teams. Kids said, “UVA is actually a good school!” Yes, it is! So happy they realized that. Yesterday, we watched a UVA volleyball game. Our favorite players are #10 and #15. They were awesome by all accounts. A went to church with me today and also helped clean up. Now, we are getting ready for tomorrow!

May God give us the strength to bring our best selves to the table!
