COVID-19

Finn's hockey jamboree was cancelled so we had a knee hockey jamboree in the basement

Finn's team won and he scored a hat trick and won MVP

Celebrating with a trophy!!

Social Distancing....the day before the governor announced schools were closing immediately .  This was our final bang before we said goodbye to friends for awhile.

I read a quote on social media that said..."What a year this week has been."  That pretty much summarizes how I feel.  Just like the rest of the world, We went from having a full calendar of spring sports, a recorder and band concerts, birthday parties, end of season hockey parties, work, school, playdates with friends, church, etc...to nothing at all.  No time schedule, no practices, no school.  It all seems a bit like a dream.  Some aspects of the mandatory down time have been nice.  We have had a chance to play games, go on hikes, runs, bike rides, and long dinners at home with everyone present.  It has been nice to have time on our hands and not be rushed to the next activity.

School and work closed on Monday and we are on Day 5 of being quarantined at the house.  We have not been playing with friends or going places other than parks for hiking or the grocery store.  We have had some rough spots when the boys have begged to have someone over to play.  We have connected to friends and family via faceTime.  We have called grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, teachers, etc.  It hasn't been an easy week, but I think we are all adjusting to a new normal.  We hope you are staying healthy and making the most of this time as well.
