How are you coping? 
Really, we are making the best of it!  We have made it an adventure to be home these last 10 weeks or so, and have had time to do so many things that just couldn't be accomplished with our regular schedules.  We are thriving!  

What, if any, new rituals have emerged for you?  
We are much more physically active, taking long walks, walking the dog, and playing outside.  We've also spent lots more time reading together, watching movies, discovering new games, and cooking together.  

The worst thing about quarantine.  
Not being able to see other family members as much as we'd like, and we miss giving hugs to them. 

The best thing about quarantine. 
The best work/life balance I've ever had...no rushing around to school, work, and lessons, no worrying about child care.  I love telework, and the amount of time it lets me spend with my family!  It is so nice to enjoy just being home.  

What are you most thankful for? 
This time to be together.
