Covid cases in our area have significantly decrease to a point where the school system no longer have restrictions on wearing masks, they are now optional. With that said, our kids are back into many normal, pre-covid activities. 

Clayton is ecstatic that he made it to his high school's co-ed volleyball team! After being out of shape and didn't practice before 2 try-outs, somehow he still managed to make it into the team. He is only a sophomore so he has plenty to learn from his teammates. 




FF took it upon herself to get involved with school activities this year and she decided she wanted to be part of the school play. This year they have a play for Disney's Frozen. Instead of being in the stage as a character, she rather be in the back stage crew as a dresser. She really seems to like it and like it so much that she would stay after school until 7:30/8pm. So she has long 12 hour days at school during rehearsal.

CC has been super busy too! (Though we don't have pictures yet) He continues to be part of the pit crew at his school play. And they practice are quite demanding too. Since he's driving himself now, it has been helpful that he can come home around 7/8pm and we don't need to pick him up. Further, he also have to practice Saturday mornings, which he can just take himself there.

On March 6 at 1:30 PM the Washington DC Stake,  along with the Seneca Maryland Stake, and Silver Spring Stake changed boundaries shifting several different church buildings to belong to different stakes. Since we've attend and been in the Gaithersburg/Kentland's building for many years, it was the furthest from the DC Stake center, which was next to the Washington DC Temple. It takes us about 45 minutes to drive there for in person stake-related meetings. Da's known many members in the DC Stake so it was a bitter sweet goodbye to the stake. However, Abbey and and kids have really adapted really well when we physically lived in the Seneca stake but we would attend DC stake activities and our kids have seminary with the same youth in the Seneca Stake. So actually our family know many of the members in the Seneca Stake, joining youth activity with them. 

So when it was announced that our Branch, along with Kentland's Ward, whom we share the Kentland's building with, to be in the Seneca Stake, everyone was excited and happy. Our new Seneca stake center is less than five minutes away and we get to be involved with many activities that is really close to our home. Although there are fond memories from the DC stake, and also the Halls have moved away, now is time to make new memories with members of the Seneca stake and see what blessings come abound.
