We are coping fairly well but it’s hard working so many hours at the hospital and worrying about bringing home something to the rest of the family. We have a lot of cleaning rituals to keep us all safe when I get home.

We have renewed our love of the family bike ride and geocaching. We have also tried new painting classes online as a family. We have camped which we had never done before and walked the dog a ton!

The worst part of being quarantined is missing our friends.

The best part is all of the family time and being able to focus on each other instead of many activities that pulled our family in so many different directions.

We are most thankful for this time together and our health.
