(Day 20) Cassandra started her day with water painting, while the other kids worked on chores and regular school. We worked on AWANA verses, recording some to send to leaders, and helping Javi with his verse that he’s been stuck on for a while. We spent the day at home (surprise) but the kids did […]
(Day 19) Lover pulled a superhero move on Monday, telling me to stay in bed and rest, and that he would handle everything else. And he did. He worked, took care of the kids, cleaned, helped them with school, and checked on me. I went back to bed, took a long nap, and just generally
Saturday (Day 17); we spent the morning eating a yummy breakfast, and chatting with my family. We all agreed that we’ve run out of things to talk about, since we are all stuck at home, so all we talk about is what we are eating! After breakfast we loaded everyone and everything up, and headed

(Day 12) In the morning, Lover made eggs, and then the kids finished off the muffins that our neighbor dropped off. Then it was time for chores. The Bigs worked on chores and school, they now have a list of independent work they need to do each day, and then we do some work all
(Day 10 & 11) I expected this weekend to be difficult since we had a lot of fun things planned for this weekend before everything got canceled. But God is so kind, and he sent us all kinds of encouragement to get us through! Lover made us a decadent breakfast of bacon, French toast with
(Day 9) We made it through another week! Things to celebrate; Cassandra is doing great at potty training. Our neighbor continues to bless us with more food than we can keep up with.

(Day 8) We are a week into Shelter In Place! Somehow that doesn’t seem like a very fun milestone to have passed. 🙂 I’ve enjoyed the chance to catch up with people that we haven’t been in touch with, or just people that we love. I wish it could be in person, but I’m thankful
(Day 6) It’s funny to me, after a full and scheduled day, the kids often spend the next day very much on their own terms. The bigs woke up today and immediately immersed themselves in craft making in our loft. I’ve been saving a few things – toilet paper rolls, egg cartons, etc and placing
(Day 7) Life is going back to normal! Just kidding, April Fool’s! 🙂 Sorry, I couldn’t resist. But, March is finally over and that is encouraging! Spring is here, and a new month and that all gives me hope. My brother Ben finished reading our book, so we spent a good portion of the day
Happy Monday! Everything is cancelled, haha. I went for a walk today and the streets were empty, the schools were closed and the skies are clear. Two or three planes flew overhead while I was out, and it was startling how noticeable they were as everything was so quiet! We video chatted with my parents
