Thanks.
We do have one other semi-local family we get together with every other weekend, and have since the kids were in kindergarten. One of the silver linings of covid is that although this friend was a year ahead of him, she decided to wait out the pandemic and take a gap year before leaving home, so we got an extra year with her.
One of the ugly gray clouds of the pandemic, though, is that when gathering with others in person was off the table we relaxed a lot of our limits on socializing with people online and reining that back in has been a big challenge. I wish I could just figure out a way to make his discord chatting transfer into an ability to text a classmate about an assignment he can’t find the link for!
