I will be quarantined with these three any time!

You would think being stuck in the house, and we have not left for nearly anything, that I would be on here blogging all the time.  But we are busy learning and I am still teaching, so we are doing double duty in this house and keeping busy.

No therapy now, no doctor visits, no school, no leaving the house, so now I am the therapist, the doctor, the teacher, the cook, we are all the cleaners, we are all the learners, we are a team, and after a few pep talks, we are trying to figure this thing out together!

Thankfully, Quinn is feeling good, all of us are feeling good, weird, but good.

We have a schedule that has been redone a few times, we have our computers and journals, books, podcasts, audio books, webcasts, google docs, and lots of time to learn, grow and succeed.  We are finding lots of time to just be as well.

I am working on not stress eating and trying to get sleep instead of worrying, so I have some goals in place.  We are trying to support local small businesses, while at the same time taking care of all our bills and are thankful to have both of us still working.  Also thankful we all have our own desks in our own spaces in the house to go work at, then come back together as a group.

 The girls chilling during some quiet time.

 Me planning for school online and school at home.

 Quinn getting some fresh air.  We are trying to get out and get walks yet still be safe.

 Our surprise was Butterfly bakery delivered a you got this cake and toilet paper to us.

 We are following a few artists online, and Bren Bataclan used Denali's suggestion of mashing together a pig and a pizza.  Check him out, its a great way for everyone to draw and everyone can do it!

 Denali and dad baking.

 Our schedule and daily events calendars.

 Cooking has never been so busy.  The dishwasher and the stove have gotten a good workout lately.

So we are doing lots of devotions and prayers from home.  We are praying for the health of our world, and also the wellbeing of our people being able to work and pay their bills.  It is such a strange time.  We are thankful to be home with each other, but are so sorry for so many of us having such a hard time right now.  I am praying for my students, hoping they can find a new normal and safety that our schools provide.  lots of love to all of you!  If you need something please reach out!

What a weird surreal world we are living in.

 Lots of chilling and relaxing

 figuring out ways to isolate ourselves

 Had fun bowling before the world got a bit surreal.

 Went to the dentist and doctor.  Quinn got 6 teeth pulled out with out meds.  No tears either.  She is a strong strong kid!  Also did the heart doctor, when everything still looks great.  So thankful.  Dr. Martin wants her to talk so bad, and did she, nope, not until we got to the elevator where she said sorry mom, are you frustrated with me?  So silly!

 We are all learning how to use kinesiotape on Quinn to help train her muscles to work different ways.

The beginning of the week we had a couple appointments and had a little fun.  Then the news of the new virus kept getting worse and worse.

With Quinn we are already careful about being around big crowds and and washing hands and all that, but now we are being even more careful!

We are trying to find a balance.  Not going out and buying tons of stuff right away, but we did go out today and load up on stuff.  Thankfully Lincoln was not bad and we got what we needed and the only strange thing was there were actually a lot of folks to check us out.

Then we get home and try to take showers before getting around Quinn.

So we are figuring out how to go through this new adventure and stay safe and figure out a new normal for now.  So prayers for all of us to stay smart, be safe, and find our own new normals while trying to keep folks safe around us, and help each other out in this strange time!

If there is anything we can do to help you, we would love to try!

What a great day!

Dancing at UNL at the dance marathon.

Helping Raise lots of money for Children's Hospital.

Hanging out with friends!

Like a little escape from the daily routine.

 We did the trio, it never gets old, I love watching the three of them together.

 We also did the new foursome.

Both dances were wonderful.

 Then getting home and loving on each other.  What a great end to a great day!
