2020 Quarantine - Day 2

Sam is sick, very sick! High fever and body aches, just plain miserable. Phoned the advice line and was given the typical advice: Tylenol, hydrate, rest, etc. Then there was the added advice, to call back immediately if he starts to have shortness of breath. I asked to have him tested for the coronavirus but was told there are no tests, not even for those in the hospital! I'm not too worried, as I know the odds are in his favor that this is just a bad cold or flu. I am concerned however with how lethargic he is. Dane and I take turns giving him back massages to help ease his muscle aches. Needless to say, we check on him often throughout the night to see how he's breathing. A scary time to be sick!

2020 Quarantine - Day 1

Emma was so excited to finally get back to school yesterday after 24 hours of antibiotics for strep throat, an infection Sam passed down a few weeks ago! We heard late Thursday morning that the school would close until March 30, the kids were super excited to be getting an extra week of spring break.
Waking up this morning was surreal! Snow in mid-March! The last time it snowed this late in the year was March 2012 the year Emma was born!

Emma's first time on the ice

I don't know why I haven't taken her before, she's a natural at roller skating. I knew she'd love the ice as much as I did when I was young. She got the hang of it before I did, which was a bit embarrassing! My muscle memory was lost! We had so much fun, I can't wait to go again!

"Medic!".............."That was the medic!"

Tomorrow is "Everyone Reads" day at school. The students are encouraged to dress up as their favorite book character. Sam, never passing up a chance to wear military fatigues, decided to go as Private Desmond T Doss WWII veteran. What? I'm sure he's a character in someone book!?

Murphy

 This new addition to the family came from Dane's BFF. He (Murphy) had been hopping around their yard for sometime. They put out flyers and ads on Facebook seeing if someone would claim him. After a few weeks we took him in! We are so in love with him! Our neighbor who shows rabbits informed us he is a french angora rabbit known for their soft angora fur. Maybe someday I'll make a scarf! :D
