Palm Sunday and a Daddy Treat

No church for Palm Sunday. 
This lockdown stuff pretty much stinks.

Thankfully, Daddy had it in him to head all the way up to Rochester to get us a special treat. 

He waited in line at Ridge Donuts for a beautiful Do-It-Yourself box.

He also had a big box of completed donuts.  It turned out no one was arguing over the last DIY one, so Mama ended up with TWO.

This is my first glorious concoction…

And my second later in the day.

A Little Bit of Spring

With all of our activities cancelled we are moving right along with school.  There are no people, places, or things taking time out of the day, so our school subjects are wrapping up early. 
Thankfully, the weather has been mild, and the sun has been shining here and there. 
Amidst the chaos stirring in our world there are some nice parts to this extra time together.

Pandemic Pictures

How long can this last?  How bad will this get?
RGH has set up tents outside Wilson Center to prepare for the people we are worried will need to be tested for COVID-19.

The sky is so lovely this chilly morning.  You’d never know there was so much uncertainty in the world…

And this is jarring.

We’ve lived in a land with so much of EVERYTHING… to suddenly see limits is startling.

God is not surprised.

Art for a Quarantine

These are some of the art projects we’ve done this week from artprojectsforkids.org website. I’ve used it on and off for years.
See Yoda, Statue of Liberty, bunnies and the Grinch. Oh and dinosaurs!
Katriel did Yoda and Grinch.

almost normal…

As schools around us are closing for the novel coronavirus, we are just doing school about as normal as can be.

FLCC class were supposed to be on Spring Break this week anyway, so that is different. 

Marie putting cups on her head… is that different?

Johanna attending the rehearsals for her musical via Zoom… that is different.

We can do different.  God isn’t different.  He is the same everyday. PTL.

Stewart is home. The little girls are so excited he’s able to stay for FIVE WHOLE MONTHS. As happy as I am to have my beautiful family all back under one roof I just want to wake up from this nightmare

So many sweet characters.

We dropped off Marie and Tabitha to a skating date with friends and we grabbed a quick lunch at Wendy’s.

Then off to get hair cuts.

They keep talking about this coronavirus coming. 

LORD have mercy.
