Day 1900 | 1900!
/
This round of team updates is going to look a bit different. Instead of listing “dreams for the future” and “biggest hurdles”, I opted for a COVID theme for the last two items under each of our names. It seems that all of us have very similar “dreams for the future” these days—wanting the ability to see friends and family again—and hurdles involve the universal theme of navigating this new existence and our roles within it.
Sara
FAVORITES: the friendly whistle pig (aka ground hog) that visits our yard, having a home office (I'm SO glad we put that together in January), being outside more, spring blooms, fancy cocktails, watching our seedlings grow, the accomplishment I feel while homeschooling (at least most of the time!), reading more (the only me time I squeeze in), the slower pace of life
BEST THING ABOUT COVID QUARANTINE: A greater appreciation for the love + support from the family I'm surrounded by (all day, every day) as well as the close friends and family who are supporting me from afar
WORST THING ABOUT COVID QUARANTINE (aside from the obvious “missing everyone” answer): Grocery planning and shopping
Chris
FAVORITES: being outside with the boys, yard games (he just added beanbag toss to the mix), honing his mixology skills, bike rides over bridges, bird-spotting, feeling handy around the house
BEST THING ABOUT COVID QUARANTINE: knowing more about what the boys are learning in school everyday (oftentimes he comes home to quizzes based on our material)
WORST THING ABOUT COVID QUARANTINE (aside from the obvious “missing everyone” answer): raw hands from the extra hand-washing
Chase
AGE: 8
FAVORITES: Harry Potter, reading just about anything, playing video games (Minecraft, Lego Harry Potter, and Mario Kart are the current favorites), sudoku, LEGOs, sweets, Chris's jokes, snuggles from mom, wrestling with Robbe, Lunchtime Literature (the part of our day when I read a chapter book–of my choice–to the boys during lunch)
*The following as answered by Chase:*
