We are sometimes frustrated by their bickering, but Juniper and Hazel get along remarkably well. Even after months of COVID and spending almost all their time at home together, they mostly enjoy each other's company. They've had a lifetime of practice at this sister thing.
Once we're back out in the world and can show off our style, we're definitely starting a new extra-high-waist trend.
Juniper is officially a teen!
She has also maintained her resemblance to a certain fantasy creature who perches on ledges and likes shiny objects.
We normally take a first day of school photo at the start of the school year. This strange year, we didn't even think about taking a photo on the first day of virtual learning. Today is Juniper's first day of in-person 7th grade!
She will be in school two days/week and was delighted to go back. Juniper is not normally a morning person, but today she was up early--bright and cheerful despite the daylight savings time change.
She's prepared to follow all the school's COVID safety precautions--mask on and no backpack because the kids won't be roaming the halls to get to their lockers. We are grateful to the teachers, school staff, and all essential workers at schools and other settings.
