We are almost at 6 months into this pandemic and man it's just still so surreal. Although life has been decently back to normal there still are some new 'norms' we are all getting used to. Wearing masks is part of routine but it's still shocking to the kiddos sometimes, especially Will. The kiddos still have rarely been in a store. We miss Gramma and Poppa and seeing them all the time. And we live with this daily fear of grandparents or any older relatives getting this virus but try to not let it take over our lives. Derek and I have never been healthier and although the kiddos attitudes are still a bit out of control they have, for the most part, had a fun 6 months as we have shielded them from anything we could to try and maintain normalcy. I saw someone post this question and it had me thinking. "If you could erase this time knowing what you know now, would you?" Would I erase the stress that was the first couple of months and how much of a toll it took on me as a parent and wife? Sure, but then I'd miss out on all the extra time with these 3. It's a deep question to think about and not sure I can answer it to be honest! So, for now we'll go get ice cream and enjoy some board games as well as hugs from our 'circle'. :)
