It's an interesting time, isn't it?
This time of quarantine.
We've all had to adjust, some in more ways than others.
For us, the kids felt the loss of Tae Kwon Do classes, swimming class, home school swim meet, piano lessons, playtime and sleepovers and birthday parties with friends.
However, it's also been good. We've adjusted to being home more.
Bring present. In the now.
Enjoying a respite from the running around.
It helps that spring has arrived!
The lovely weather, still cool and fresh, but with those warm hints in the wind.
Wonderful!

Tae Kwon Do classes are being made possible on a video conferencing app called Zoom!
Thankfully the kids get to continue classes.
Of course it's more fun to actually go to the school, but they seem to enjoy this for the time being. |

This weekend Grandma plans to drop them off the shop where they will fire her art in a kiln.
Then they will go pick it up next week. |
