Before these days
This has been a week. Actually this has been a year.
Sitting on the porch this morning, wrapped up in blankets and shawls, doing schoolwork, drinking coffee, listening to the rain come down, taking in the fresh air before it's to cold to sit outside and enjoy it.
I’m finally feeling better, but we got the terrible news that my father in law's brother passed away in the hospital related to COVID complications on Wednesday morning. I only met him a few times, but he was always so great. He was a former professional clown in the Ringling Bros circus, so the kids of course gravitated to him begging for tricks. He was a fellow nurse and just a great man all around. A fun man. A kind man. I know he will be missed by so many. This disease is hitting to close to home, it infested my home and my family. Hold your loved ones close. Stay safe, for them, to be with them.
We were all pretty excited for Halloween, even though we only planned on trick or treating to families houses since we are all so close and ending for a little party at the end. But our plans have changed because we are uncertain what's going on anymore with COVID cases spiking and our family getting hit with it. We plan on keeping distance and having some spooky dinner at home and filling up on candy, dressing up and watching scary movies. Things are definitely hard right now and different, but we still are trying to keep some normalcy and fun for the kids.
Some pictures from before we were all sick. Lots of cousin love. Addy happy she has a little girl to do hair with. The boys as rambunctious as always.
