9:55 a.m.

Theo William made his appearance on Tuesday and we were excited to find out (around 2pm) that

we had added another boy to the Walker family.

His gender and name were a surprise and what a treat he has been so far.  

I was texting his mama about the cookies she had baked, decorated AND dropped

off for my boys just a day before he was born!  She texted back the morning he was born

that she was glad we like them...she was in labor, silly girl.

She likes surprises tho...and she got us on this one too.

We were so thankful that among all the illness and uncertainty surrounding us

that Theo and mama (and dad) were happy and healthy.

I had picked up this outfit at H&M since it was cute and gender neutral - he didn't make it home in it though, a little mess before the exit was finalized!

We got our first glimpse on Wednesday afternoon when we did our visit - quarantine style.

My goodness he is so handsome.  His features are like his older sibs - that dark hair tho!!!

Family of Five.

Fist bumps and high fives - I'd say we left some prints, ha!

Those first snuggles with baby Theo - and the older two -

are going to be so very special. 

Until then, we are praying for health and safety!

Covid 19 || The Start of Week 4

We've added in some driveway walks and lots of yard work to keep active.  

Joe generally joins me on the walks.  This one was on Sunday morning before church.

This week, we began to work on redoing my mom's hutch - in it's most recent life

(3 weeks ago) it was full of Lego creations and when we repainted the red room,

we decided it needed a new life, too.

Joe has become a hardware expert this week.  I'm thankful for black spray paint 

it has given new life to 3 sets of hardware over these 3 weeks.  

Joe is also working on a firepit design in his chosen quarantine attire PJs - probably going to need some DH help on this one to make sure it stays together once we put it in place, ha!

We are still deciding on a final location. 

We decided this design was a little small, he had made a larger version.

And while I started to make this little gem a loved furniture piece again, the boys

began their elearning for this week.  Our schedule for the remainder of the year is elearning on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays.

We went out to get gas for the mower at the farm and pick up field rocks

 so they didn't tear up the planter.  The weather has been gorgeous

(it has turned a little colder yesterday and today - Sunday). 

There goes our farmer.  

And a sneak peek of the dresser project.  I made mess sanding this thing.

Worth it.

My handy hardware man - so determined.  He only asked for help holding the door still,

and kind like helping his dad, he wasn't sure I did that right either.

Covid 19 || Fishing Date

Week 3 of our quarantine began with a fishing date for DH and I-

it was FREEZING. Cold and Windy.

We did not get one nibble.

Well, I thought I had a nibble and was excited but in fact I was hooked

on a branch of a tree that is in the bottom of the pond.

We enjoyed our time nonetheless

on our date at the pond next to our home.

D

We came back from fishing and I put vege soup on to cook and we 

watched TV from our home.  It was our third or fourth week watching from home.

After church, I made grilled cheese and rice krispies

and we had lunch together.

Oh and PS we've found a few new favorite food/drinks during our increased time/meals at home...

this on is Milo's sugar free tea - YUM!  

Boys are also now pros at grilled cheese and grilled ham and cheese sandwiches, ha!
