April 2020

The month of "Stay at Home" orders.

I continued to work on my Masters degree, while teaching and keeping up with all the zoom meetings for my Pre-K and 1st grade children.  

Such an unusual time, however, it gave me the opportunity to really hang out with my children.  We played board games, watched movies together, built forts with blankets, and enjoyed our front yard.  

My neighbor, Brittany, became my saving grace and a really great friend.  I feel so blessed we were able to endure this together.  

Kate drew this picture over Zoom with her teacher and classmates.  

We had lots of time to play dress-up.

We celebrated Easter, but it just wasn't as fun.  No Easter egg hunts in the community and we didn't buy special dresses to go to church in.  Bryan made sure to get us plenty of good candy.  I don't think the girls will even remember this weird time- just the fun times they were able to have with mom and dad. 

Cinnamon rolls for Easter breakfast- lots of sugar rushes coming our way!

We all did a virtual Blue Bell run for ice cream too! Bryan completed 1/2 marathon, Rebekah 10K, Kate and Jane 1 mile.

I learned a lot of fitness techniques with Brittany, a very educated crossfit coach.  The kids would play for hours and hours in the front yard and we would get in a good workout while they played. 

Kate really enjoyed all the extra time doing arts and crafts.
