Second month of quarantine...

Dear Maya and Emi,

...and continuing from yesterday, here's the second month of our quarantine in Instagram stories. This was a hard month. We lost our Poppy at the end of April and couldn't even really grieve with the rest of our family. What an awful time to be separated from the ones we love. Still, we've made the best of our time at home together. We've explored books, nature, art, music, and so much more than we would normally have had the chance to. It's all been a mixed blessing for sure.






































Well, that's it for now, but this will likely be the format for at least another blog post or two. School is canceled for the remainder of the school year. We're still waiting to hear whether or not the summer rec program is happening. In general, a lot of things are on hold.

But as exhausted as mommy is from the schooling and managing everyone's needs (from wi-fi connectivity to endless snacks to emotional support) I can say this without hesitation: I'm so proud of you both and my love for you is growing every day!
Love you both!

First month of quarantine...

Dear Maya and Emi,

Ummm...what to say, what to say.

Everyone who reads this blog post now already knows and is sick of hearing about it, but thinking ahead to when we reread this in the future I'll spell it out a little. Thanks to a nasty little virus called Covid-19 most of the country (and large portions of the world) have spent much time quarantined lately. For us this week marks two full months. No school. Not much work for me. No hanging with family. No play dates. Just us in the house focusing on staying healthy, educated, and sane. Omg!

So that's why it's now been over two months since I've posted in here. However, over on Instagram I've been making almost daily logs of our comings and goings (especially homeschooling you two with the help of your amazing teachers and school staff). So instead of trying to recap all of that for a blog post I'm going to be copying and pasting all those posts right here. I'll split it into two posts because it's gonna be a LOT of photos--and most with itty bitty text on them. Sorry but it is what it is!



































































Okay, next post to come tomorrow!
Love you both!
