A sad start to the week. Grandragon wanted Puff to play “Abide with Me” at her funeral, and he managed two repeats of the song before the sadness really kicked in for him.
After the funeral, though, the kids bounced again, and were able to enjoy seeing family members. They’re still processing their grief in their own way.
We had an early morning appointment one morning this week, so we stopped for hot chocolate (also coffee) on the way to school.
Once the holidays started up, the kids’ mood brightened considerably.
Puff even managed a smile for at least part of the drop-off to recorder camp.
Huff, missing her brother for a few days, tried a range of different distractions (including Minecraft, a new obsession for her) – here she is playing with magnets.
See you next week for the pick-up from recorder camp, and more!
