We are very thankful to have both the kids home with us this year. We have all been working hard–Lorena finishing her degree, Kelly, Christian, and I working on our day jobs from home. In many ways, this is has been a hard year of little direct contact with the outside world, but we all remain gainfully employed in work that can have a not insignificant impact for good. It has required more effort than normal to stay in touch with friends and family, but it is good to be reminded how important that is.
