Well, hello there!

Well, it's been a long while since I've posted anything to this blog.  I've had the best intentions....just not the time or the focus to do the work.  Do I pick up where I left off?  For now, that's the best I can do.
It's the first Sunday of spring break here.  But, as you may know, the kids have been home for the past 2 weeks.  School at home due to the coronavirus outbreak.  We got through the schooling with minimal tears.  The older boys were responsible for be self-motivated.  The "littles" needed more oversight, but Kella and Liam did a good job of getting their work done on their own. 
We get 2 weeks off from schooling and then get 3 more weeks, at least, of school at home.  But, the load should be lighter since they will not be doing school every day those next 3 weeks.  I have big plans right now for spring break. They include getting lots of things done for scouting merit badges, hopefully starting a garden and finishing cleaning out all the rooms of the house.  I also am compiling a running list of projects for Andy to complete.  He gets to finish out teaching his classes from home this semester and gets to be on call to go into the hospital to work as a screener or whatever they need him to do.  I get to work my regular scheduled shifts.  Since, everything is pretty much closed, I gave back my days I was taking off for spring break.  I'll save those days for later. 
Last year, I dropped the ball on the birthday questions for the kids.  This year, I gave the all the kids the questions at once and am just going to post them here, now.  This way I won't forget and I definitely have the time to do it.  So, look forward to that and maybe I'll post so back stuff too from last summer, fall and winter. Take care and stay safe and healthy.
