We were still in full quarantine in April. We had adjusted to virtual school, full time working from home, reduced commute time, and most of all more time that we would have ever had together as a family.
Random snaps of our daily life home 24/7. We soaked in time together, games (and lots of games), crafts, Bella snuggles and time with family and friends safely distanced (well, for the most part).
 |
| Maggie loves a good pile of hard cash! |
 |
| Play Nine was a favorite game. |
 |
| Lego time! |
 |
| Our rotten baby! lol. She is so sweet and looking so pretty! |
 |
| Every other week we would pack up and go spend a day at Grammy and Papa's for work and school. |
 |
| We had to get in on the whipped coffee craze. |
 |
| Saturday's we often we would see my Uncle Gabe and his crew. |
 |
| Quarantine hair don't care... |
 |
| I did often have to pause and reflect on how grown up my girls are getting. |
 |
| a good nap at Grammy and Papa's did this girl good. |
 |
| Pool time... this could not capture my girls personalities any better. |
 |
| Dinning room "office" This is what most days looked like, including Bella laying with us. |
 |
| never too old to snuggle Daddy! |
 |
| School assignment ... Go climb a tree! |
 |
| The girls helped get the porch clean for summer. |
 |
| Drive by visit with Addison |
 |
| EVERY TIME before we leave Grammy and Papa's Jimmy, Gracie, and Maggie line up for their back to be scratched. EVERY TIME! |
 |
| Doing live with you is one of the best decisions! I love you Jimmy. |
 |
| We snagged as much pool time together as possible. |
 |
| FaceTime with the Smith's in Texas. They would watch a movie together virtually almost every weekend. We are so thankful for friendships near and far. |
 |
| They rescued a turtle in the pool. |
We also did some quarantine family pictures at home. They were so good. I think this was one of less than a handful of times we all were up and fully ready including makeup and jewelry.
We took a day trip to Gibbs Garden where we could socially distance and enjoy being outside. The change in routine and a car ride was was much needed for all of us. The tulips were fully up and so bright. It was my favorite time to go.
 |
| Del Taco for lunch on our way. |
Easter we were suppose to be in Dallas for Spring Break. We tried to keep it as "normal" as possible with dressing up, Church (although virtual), Easter Baskets, and a yummy dinner.
 |
| Baskets always are hidden |
 |
| Everyone that knows us know we all love a good blanket! |
 |
| A sweet birthday surprise was delivered. |
 |
| Aunt Kat and the family sent this for Gracie! It made her day as she was really struggling with celebrating her birthday without family and friends. |
Easter evening they were predicting horrible tornados and that proved to be a reality. At about 11pm Jimmy woke us up to get into the half bath with helmets and tennis shoes. This was not joke. There was so much damage around and it came within miles of our home. We are thankful for the protection and in shock when we see those that did experience damage and loss.
Gracie's birthday was not at all how she envisioned it (we were suppose to be flying back from a week in Dallas). But we tried to make it memorable and special. We did loose power the night of the tornados so we packed up us and the fridge/ freezer and went to Grammy and Papa's.
 |
| Birthday morning! |
 |
| Happy 14th Birthday G Bug |
 |
| Breakfast at Uncle Gabe's! |
 |
| Homemade hot chocolate at the Birthday Girl's request |
 |
| We were up on Signal so Kaela one of her dearest friends stopped by with a sweet prize, yet keeping social distance (for the most part when reminded by the mama's) |
 |
| Cake at Grammy and Papa's |
 |
| Gracie got so many sweet cards and prizes sent to her. It made her day! |
