Nilsson News

First of all, Happy Birthday to Emma for real!  She's growing up so fast ;) !
Where have I been the past month and a half?!  There really shouldn't be any excuses since we are basically locked up at home and not running around crazily.  Well, we have been enjoying some nice weather here and there which means we are now transferring all projects outside!  My favorite time of year!
I'm really trying hard to think of what to write about.  The biggest news for us is that after working for D.I. for the past ten years, Garrett left that emploment and transferred up to BYUI.  He is working there as a career counselor for the college of physical science and engineering (the same one that Jody Swenson is director over), and the college of business and communication.  He is really excited about it because they are currently working to integrate career counseling into the college scene rather than only having academic advisors so his is actually a brand new position.  He is also helping to write the curriculum for the new freshman career exploration class.  He is working at home and has yet to meet any of his staff in person.  The college students are all doing classes online but will hopefully be able to return in the fall.
The kids have been playing outside and I have been playing (working!) outside.  We have a few things planted in our garden and many plants started in the greenhouse.
It has been so fun to see all of you on Zoom gatherings and some in person (shhh, don't tell anyone because I'm pretty sure we weren't social distancing sufficiently).  The opening of the long awaited time capsule was SO FUN!  We are working on our own family time capsule for 2020 and we got a lot of great ideas.  Thanks so much for being the greatest family in the world!
 We've been getting the younger donkeys out and have been taking them on walks.
Having fun on the rocks by the river.
 Our watermelon plastic is heating the soil and this year we have room for about 42 plants.  Last year we ended up with only 15 plants, so this is quite an extension.
 Easter egg dying.

The annual Hart and Nilsson egg hunt fun!

Hope you all have a lovely week and are able to enjoys some rays of sunshine!
