“ ” THE QUESTION

In the midst of the hardships of 2020, what has brought you the most joy?

My 90-year-old grandmother starting a water gun fight with my 6-year-old son.

Our family had three baby girls born during the pandemic. Mountain Brook Class of 2038, get ready for all these cousins!

Lack of busy-ness. Family meals actually at the table, quality time with the ones you love most and being outdoors every opportunity.

I have found a new love for the outdoors and working in my yard! I never knew how much planting a flower or painting a fence could fill my cup.

Focusing more on the quality than quantity of our relationships and activities and watching my children learn how to do the same.

Daily walks that led me to really get to know some of my neighbors. Before COVID we just waved as we passed, but now we look forward to catching up when we see each other.

I was worried the increased time together would cause more siblings disagreements, but I loved seeing how it actually brought them closer together.

Friday afternoon tradition of walking to Craft’s for frozen screwdrivers!
