Early March (The Before Times)

A new tradition for me and Jenna is an Earthling Coffee run. (With caffeine-free goodies for her.)

Boy in a yoga mat.

I helped plan this wonderful lady's 50th birthday at Zillicoah Brewing. (Narrator: This would turn out to be the last pre-pandemic social gathering of our friends, though we didn't know it at the time.)

The kids enjoying Riff-Raff, the brewery cat.

We didn't know what social distancing was at this point.

Jackson's band doing a preview of their MPA performance (which never wound up happening. Boy, this post is grim.)

Dressed up for band concert.

Dressed more like himself.

Youth group rock climbing trip. (You guessed it--last one before the group moved to Zoom.)

Reading The Princess Bride to the kids. (Jackson listens while building Legos.)

Last meal out, at Green Tea Sushi.
