April Virtual Dance

Ashley's dance studio All That Dance started up virtual dance lessons and boy was she excited!!!  She just loves dance and her teachers and it was a good break from school work!!

One day they posted a choreography challenge on Instagram and Ashley was all about it, creating a catchy dance to Rolex.  They got extra credit for including a family member so of course she chose Toby!

And guess what?  She won for Fan Favorite so Mrs. Meghan dropped off a Chick FilA gift card and t-shirt as a prize!

For one dance class they did a fun scavenger hunt collecting things like hat, sunglasses, leotard, old dance costume, winter jacket, etc.  Then they had to put them all on and dance around.  What a hoot!!!  Glad she can have some sense of normalcy during this crazy time!

Apr Easter

Happy Easter!  He is Risen!  Hallelujah!  Quarantine Easter festivities looked a little different but still special none-the-less.  Kids were up by 6am to see if the Easter Bunny made it!  Ashley was most excited that EB wrote her a note and left a selfie!!!!!!

Trevor was hoping for new model airplanes and the Easter Bunny came through!

Because of the rainy weather the Easter Bunny hid eggs upstairs this year.  So fun to see their excitement still in finding eggs!

After that we got dressed and ready for a day of eating, family calls, playtime outside, a special Andrea Boccelli streamed concert and of course a family selfie.  During this time we remember how blessed we are for health, safety, friends, family, lots of love and God.  Happy Easter!

March Happenings

Oh March, what a month!! It started out so hopeful with meet-ups with our cruise friends to talk about our trip and outings to the eye doctor and having lunch with the kids at school ... to ...everything at home to stay safe.  Quite the transition but we are in a good groove.  It was definitely nice to have a week of distance/e-learning and then a week off for spring break.  Helped to change things up for sure!

Toby is exhausted having everyone home all day every day LOL 

Trevor just keeps getting taller and taller!

But not old enough to drink wine - only non-alcoholic his favorite treat!

Ashley loves to bake with Mama!

God knew that our souls needed a beautiful sunset!

Daddy has taken over Toby's grooming - yikes ;)

Lots of lounging going on!

As well as FaceTiming with Elena!

Serious coloring!

And lots of games of war.

All in all, a great month!!

Digital Learning

Digital learning is going pretty well over here.  Sometimes we set up at the kitchen table and look all official, sometimes the kids wear jammies and lounge while doing school, sometimes they call Nana and Papa Steve to help them, sometimes Ashley takes over Mommy's work space...but Toby??!!?  He's always sleeping up in Daddy's office!!!
