Who do you have on your pandemic survival crew? At my house we have a couple of great kids who have been working very hard to keep active with their studies and learn new things. They are distance learning from my sister, Tara. She has Science projects for them to each learn. Allison has been working with the kids on their studies from school. She’s also keeping us fed and making sure that a schedule is followed but not too strictly. There is room for adjustments.

Each morning we watch the school principal start off the day with announcements and prayer. We also catch the livestreams that our priest are doing for our parish. They have been doing daily Mass and also the rosary. We also get some behind the scenes pictures of how they set up for the livestream.

The kids have been connecting with their friend online. We’ll try and connect with the cousins soon, too.

I try to keep up the entertainment portion of being home. I’ve gotten a number of games, toys and movie for review and we are going to check them all out. Lots of learning ones in there, too. Any way we can keep conversation going around learning is good.

What is your family doing during this time?

Fourth of July 2018 Recap

The Grandkids at the Dartmouth Ave Parade

Our annual trip down to the Cape for the Fourth of July holiday was a success. We came down on Tuesday morning in a heavy fog. It was so foggy that we could not see the Bourne Bridge until we were on it. The fog burned off later on though and we were able to enjoy a great day at the beach. We followed that with pizza for dinner on the sunporch. Then we went over to a family friend’s house for July 3rd party where the kids had some other kids to play with and also their cousins.

Yesterday, we went to the annual Dartmouth Ave Parade where the kids enjoyed the entertainment and Andrew got up to tell a joke. what a difference a year makes. This year he ran on up to the table and hopped up, took the microphone and confidently told his jokes.
