August 2021 – My Joy

January 21, 2021

We made some cards and had some special gifts for mom to celebrate her birthday!

**Rachel has been working with paper crafting and came up with this pretty design for the front of the card.**

Mom needed a clip for her phone. *Thanks Rachel!*

**Rachel did some nice pencil drawings for mom as well. Fitness themed is always a win!**

**As always an awesomely creative and loving message!**

**An Echo Dot Plug In. We can plug in a lamp and use Alexa to turn it on and off even when we are away from home!**

**“*Mom are you going to fight with Alexa with this too?!”* Mom has trouble getting Alexa to do what she is asking. So, she often “fights” with Alexa.**

**A card from Grandpa Ed and Grandma Joyce.**

**Presents from Grandpa Ed and Grandma Joyce!**

**Organizing and fitness – how can you go wrong with gifts like these (for mom anyway!).**

**Of course anything hiking is an awesome choice too! Dad got mom a tent for backpacking!**

“Happy Birthday Dear Heather
You’ve got your tent for the AT, but it’s missing something: trekking poles!
So It’s time for another trip to REI. There we’ll get two sets of trekking poles so that we can set up the tent.
Are you excited? It’s all starting to come together! Soon you’ll be ready for the trail.”
