I celebrated my birthday with a party with my friends on Zoom. We had Easter, with a visit from the Easter Bunny and a yummy ham dinner. Unfortunately the leprechauns couldn't make it this year, since they were also quarantined, but we did have a visit from the tooth fairy for Lisa.
This time has been filled with challenges, like trying to figure out how to teach the kids at home and having very shaggy hair with no salons open. But there are also some lovely moments, like getting to know the birds in our backyard and playing games together as a family.
I miss seeing my friends in person, and I know the kids do too. This family time has been nice, though. I have the best kids in the world, and it's really not that hard to be stuck with them for months on end. Matt is pretty great too.
Here are some of the moments we've shared through the past few months.
