In March, the world shut down. With the outbreak of Covid-19, schools closed, businesses shut their doors, and the world may never be the same. With both Susan and my companies shifting to remote work, we tried to balance helping the kids with virtual schoolwork while maintaining our work responsibilities. Despite all the bad going on in the world, we tried to make the most of our situation and the extended time we were gifted to spend with our children.
From March to June, we tooks LOTS of walks and bike rides around the neighborhood, spent many days around the pool, did lots of virtual assignments and projects, cooking classes, plenty of yardwork, zoom calls and more. We did our best to stay safe and keep everyone busy.

With Sadie's birthday less than a week later, we had a similar celebration for her 7th birthday. She had a pool party with one of her bigger gifts being a gymnastics bar for the playroom. The kids also celebrating by "camping" out on the deck. Even without an official party, it was a pretty good birthday!

One of the mostly unmentioned victims of Covid19 were all the missed birthday parties. Finley turned 5 in the middle of the lockdown, so unfortunately we weren't able to have a traditional party with friends, etc. We made the best of it, with some family dropping off gifts in the driveway. We celebrated with a family pool party and we still had a lot of fun. Here's a short clip of Finley opening gifts in case there is any doubt:

2020 brought the first Easter we didn't celebrate in church, in person at least. But the pandemic wouldn't stop the Easter celebration. We participated in our church's online service, then enjoyed a beatiful day outside. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
