Life in the Time of Covid
The day in and day out of working full- time from home with a 3 and 5 year old thrust into the mix….
Zooming with friends
Endless dress-ups
Art projects
Watching Caterpillars turn into Butterflies
Their names were Leafcutter, Clifford, Samantha, Computer and Schedule
Watching our Teachers Read Stories via Zoom
Science and Yoga!
Endless Time Outside
Snacks… and learning how to pay for them!
Rocking a Man-Bun
Learning (and failing at) how to wear a mask
And all of this managed (and sanity kept) by our schedule!

Christmas 2019!
So much excitement, so much happiness, so much chaos!
Sitting in the ‘present chair’ 
Checking out his new Paw Patrol vehicles 
A new robot! 
Classy 
Testing out his new dinosaur light up shoes! 
Obsessed. 
A new crane truck that makes noise! 
He got the Sea Patroller!
After a few sugar highs, more gifts and some naps, we headed down to Carol Creek with the whole crew to view the boat lights. Our motley Christmas crew in their pjs and hat!

Our Christmas Highway Trip
We put a lot of miles on over the last week visiting folks for the holidays! But despite all the ‘highway time’, it was a great and a beautiful reminder of how lucky we are to have such a wonderful community of friends and family in our lives! ?❤️
Before we could leave, we had to make sure Santa knew how to find us in Maryland. So the boys and Andy drew a map of course!
First stop, the Fear family farm! We had a great time visiting with everyone and getting to see their beautiful property! Plus the boys were in heaven getting to ride on the tractor, ATVs and being able to see the animals! The excitement in their eyes was awesome!
Thank you Jimmy, Grace, Kaitlyn & Abby for having us! Next time we need a group photo!
Next stop, Grandma and Grandpa’s in Middletown! Grandma and Grandpa arranged for everyone to go swimming on the first day. The kids had a BLAST and the parents were happy to see them use up all that energy. On the way home from the pool we stopped off at Carole Creek in Frederick to see the boat lights on the canal. My boys love to look at ‘pretty lights’ during the Christmas season so this was a hit!
And then it was Christmas Eve! We took the kids to the park in the morning to run off some of their excitement. But before we could leave, Charlotte helped Andrew finish is school work. 🙂
We also may or may not have stopped for lunch (and Margaritas) on the way back to Grandma’s!
Christmas Eve festivities; including a visit from Santa!

Too much eggnog!?

Baking Brownies

….remind me why I was surprised when we had a belly ache later?!
