COVID-19 and The Quarantine

For the past seven weeks we have all been home.  It's been a roller coaster adapting to all of the changes but we are all healthy and have no reason to complain.  We miss going out to eat, sleepovers and sports but we've been having a great time playing games, watching movies, completing puzzles, playing outside, going on walks and checking items off of our house "to do" list.  The kids are doing very well with virtual school and Lily has become a cheesecake chef! Lily has made three cheesecakes in three weeks.  Plain, raspberry and strawberry.    They are also learning to expand their pallets, so this isn't all that bad! We also celebrated Daddy's birthday - birthday #2 in quarantine - and gave Daddy a haircut for his birthday (Johnny too). We also celebrated Easter, quarantine style, with ham and baked potatoes, potatoes are another food first for the kids.  They loved it!    This weekend, the kids had at-home-sleepovers - both nights - in the living room!  We're hoping this ends soon, but till then we'll keep enjoying our time together.  :)

Lily turns 10!!!

Boom!  Double digits for this girl!  Our gorgeous little princess is 10!!

As our baby girl turned 10, our new normal began.  Lily was a total trooper and completely understood about canceling her parties and other social events due to the rapidly spreading coronavirus. We made the best of it! 

Winter 2020

What a whirlwind!  February and March flew by!  We had a visit from Grandma and Pap Pap, a visit from Uncle Brett, celebrated 100 days of school by dressing like a 100 year old, took a few ski trips, played a lot of indoor soccer, spent time outside, took a trip to the Longwood Gardens Orchid Show and got to see Lily in her first viola concert.
