April at Home

Normal in April, we would be showing you pictures of soccer games, track meets, and lots of other activities.  Not in 2020!  E-learning, as shown here but Lia and Mary, has become totally clutch.

With no school, the girls got their fingernails painted.

Chess time.

We needed to get out of the house so we all went for walk.  Mary couldn't handled all the walking so Patrick helped her out.

Backyard craziness.

Mike wanted to kids to practice putting up the tent for our family trip.  This is the girls tent.

Cecilia and Mary doing their thing.

One of the good things that has happened during this shut down is Some Good News.  SGN is a youtube channel started by the actor John Krasinski, to bring some joy to everyone.  In the second episode, he arranged for a little girl to see "Hamilton" in NYC with her mother.  Then Lin-Manuel Miranda broke in with the whole cast of "Hamilton" to sing the opening song to her via Zoom.  (Zoom is also clutch right now!)  Being a huge fan, Becca lost her sh*t.

We are all wearing masks now because they are so comfortable.

Tilly remains unaffected by the pandemic.

Almost 7 weeks in and we are still sitting at home.  I know some people are really worried about this virus, others are not.  From what I understand, the sickness is really horrible and you don't want to get it but you're chances of dying are fairly small if you don't have other underlying conditions.  It is even possible some of the population already had it but don't know it.  But I do know that the longer we stay home, the harder it's going to be on the economy, which will cause other kinds of problems..  I pray the world can find a safe and logically way to return to "life as normal" soon before all hell breaks loose.
