Sunday

Sunday, March 22nd, 2020

Everyone is reading during breakfast. I’m ok with that. Gave me time to catch up on my devotions, before our live stream worship this morning.

Chicken sandwich for lunch 

My legs got tired so I learned from Shane and sat down while chopping vegetables. LOL. Cooking 3 meals for 6 peeps during this quarantine time ain’t easy…

 

Me love one pot meals

So thankful for his help today!

A new hire

Saturday, March 21st, 2020

We have a new cleaning help today. He’s not as good and thorough as our regular cleaning lady;) but for the time being, I’ll take what I can get. He quit only after vacuuming the first floor, so not sure if he’s going to continue next week. We’ll see. ;P

big family, big meals :: day 4

Thursday, March 19th, 2020

Breakfast for me and my parents:

I promised kids I would make French toasts for breakfast this morning, so here it is. They’ve been complaining about having to drink green smoothies with their breakfast every morning so this is a special treat. 😉 And when I say kids, that also means my husband included.

Vietnamese chicken with rice for dinner. 

Virtual school :: day 3

Wednesday, March 18th, 2020

Chloe working on her TED Talk for language art class.

Enjoying physical activities at the park. We’ve been coming here every evening to get some exercise but we learned that as of tomorrow morning, this park will also be closing. 🙁

These kids never run out of energy, They are wrestling after dinner.

Putting their energy to good use…

virtual learning :: day 2

Tuesday, March 17th, 2020

I sat down with Shane for a good couple of hours this morning, reading through his social studies and language arts class works. I left him on his own yesterday to go through his first day and checking his work this morning, I was not convinced he was doing everything he was supposed to do. He did…but not to my likings.

I know this girl is on top of her studies… you are, right?

She just told me to go away…

Quarantine :: A State of isolation

Monday, March 16th, 2020

The world has gone mad and we with it. COVID-19 virus started spreading throughout the world and it is now so close to home. We had a livestream Sunday service, Andrew started working from home, and kids schools have closed as of last Friday 3/13. We began our virtual learning today.
I’ve been sick with sinus infection + bronchitis (my doctor said I don’t have coronavirus) so I missed out on stocking up on groceries last week like the rest of the world, so after making breakfast, helping kids all setup with school materials, I tackled grocery shopping. It wasn’t as bad as I expected. I was scared there might be lines outside even to get into a supermarket, but I guess I went early enough before getting too crowded. This whole thing feels like a bad dream. We’ve never experienced anything like this in our lifetime and just reminded me how small we humans are… I’m just so thankful my family are all here with me, including my parents.

After finishing her school work, Chloe spent a few hours cleaning and organizing her room.

Chloe and I have been going to a park for last few days so she can skateboard and I can walk/run while keeping our distance from people. Shane shoots around basketball in the driveway throughout the day. After dinner, we watched a movie together just like past few nights. It’s was a simple but also a very busy 1st day of quarantining…

Happy Sunday

Sunday, March 8th, 2020

I came down with a cold so I’ve been in bed all morning. I look outside the window and saw that my family is playing basketball, basking in the warmth of sun. 64? weather in March!

happy fellowship

What a wonderful time we had tonight with some of my GRC family! I love when our conversations are intentional and Christ centered. Loved and enjoy every minute of their presence at our home. 🙂

MY BIRTHDAY

Sunday, February 2nd, 2020

My hubby made pasta for dinner for the family while I enjoyed a nice glass of wine reading with Shane.

My friend sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers for my birthday! I feel so special!! What a lovely day I had. I got nothing to complain today. 😉
