Dear Diary,
This has been the Strangest Year of My Life.
March 2020: The moms are home all the time and I am VERY TIRED from having to Supervise Them All Day. They are Very Busy.
April 2020: It’s not so bad having the moms here. I like hanging out.
May 2020: I get to watch Doggie TV. It is Very Entertaining.
June 2020: I saw a CAT!
July 2020: Something BIG Happened. I went to camp and when I got home, there was a JJ in my house!
August 2020: I am EXHAUSTED from playing with a JJ.
September 2020: JJ must be staying. Mom is taking Top Step Portraits of us.
October 2020: JJ gets in trouble nearly every day.
November 2020: JJ had his first haircut. I got to watch.
December 2020: We Had Christmas!!!
January 2021: Sometimes JJ and I take naps together.
February 2021: Covie, the puppy from next door comes over every day. JJ and Covie are learning “Sit,” “Down,” and “Stay.” I have known these words for years.
March, 2021: JJ and I are good buddies. It has been a good year.
What a strange, wonderful year this has been.
Until next time.
Love,
Arya

It’s so wonderful to hear from Arya, and to see JJ growing up! Love to the 4 of you! M

Much love to you!!! Miss you!!
Enjoyed this update on Arya and JJ very much. What a difference a year makes, and to see the two of them playing and napping together is wonderful. Yes, it has been a difficult year for everybody, but we have to try and make the best of it – and have some fun along the way.
Stay safe, happy and healthy!
Thank you! Hope you are staying safe and well. Head hugs for you.
Oh, my, this is precious❣️ Joy in the simple things and adjustments to a new family member.❤️
Much love to you.
cute!
Thanks!
I love Arya’s view of the world!!!
An excellent recap. All good.
I love Arya’s annotated 2020 calendar.
She has quite the pointed commentary.
Thank you, Nima. Head hugs for you.
This one is fun to read again!
Arya appreciates it!!
Great Aunt Sandy is very proud of Arya. She has matured remarkably during this challenging year!
