Back to School + Crazy 2020

 Hello again... after a long, long time.

I kept thinking I should write on the blog again, and here we are.

So, here's what's been going on in the last several months.

On March 12, the Thursday before Spring Break, Morry and the boys were looking forward to their annual Spring Training Florida trip.  We were starting to hear about more and more COVID-19 cases and by the end of the day, Spring Training was canceled.

On March 13, we got an automated call from the school district saying all schools and offices would close that day in order to remain vigilant and healthy.

So, pretty much everything started shutting down after that.

Spring Break was extended and the kids went back virtually on April 3.

Since then, we have mostly stayed at home except for occasionally shopping and outdoor activities.

Evan went back to baseball and they had several games and practices this summer.

We also got a kitten. A friend of mine need to quickly find a home for a kitten and we volunteered to "help". 

Here's Pixel.

Over the summer, instead of going to Europe as planned, we updated our kitchen and some other areas of our house.  We added wood floors in the kitchen, removed the half wall between the living room and dining room, removed our old kitchen island and column, and replaced it with an counter-height island.  We also had the cabinets painted and other walls in the house painted.  Oh, and we put tile in the laundry room and bathroom.

Tomorrow, we go back to school.  The kids start their online school. Evan is now in 9th grade at high school and Noah is in 7th grade in middle school. 

My school is going back in person tomorrow.  I'll be teaching two middle school math classes.  I'm hoping to use the outdoor classroom as much as possible.

That's it for now.  I took videos and pictures over the last few months and will add more of those later.
