Coronavirus Week 1 (March 16-22)

The whole world has changed drastically this past week because of the Coronavirus. We found out last Thursday that schools are closing for at least 6 weeks, so the girls will be home full time starting Monday. As of now, the district does not have a plan for remote learning, but has asked that we patiently give them time as they figure it out.

As a state, we are trying to slow down the spread of the virus by social distancing and not gathering in large groups. The governor also announced that no groups may gather over 250 people. I think this is just the beginning of the craziness.

Cruise to Mexico

For mid-winter break, we flew down to California and boarded the Carnival Panorama (a new ship in the Carnival fleet). The ship was AMAZING! Tom and I were able to be in a room next door to the girls, which was nice. It was very different than any other cruise we have done as I was dealing with major side effects from radiation. I couldn’t eat anything, only drink Ensure and I was on very heavy pain meds. I had to get fluids twice down in the infirmary. But even with all that going on, I’m glad we went. Tom said the food was by far the best of any ship we have ever been on. The shows were great. The girls had a great time and enjoyed hanging out with friends a lot!

Molly’s 12th Birthday

Molly’s 12! I can’t believe it. We celebrated with her with presents, rice pudding and bengal beef skewers! Then she had some friends over for a sleepover.

Disneyland and California Adventure

The morning after Christmas, we headed to Disneyland and California Adventure. We stayed at the Grand Californian as it was the closest to the park and we knew I would need to rest during the day. Our room was ready when we got there at 6:30 am and after we went up there briefly, we headed right over to the park for early entry. It was very crowded, but we used our Max Passes well and got on everything we wanted without too long of a wait!
