Laura got covid first, so she was the first to recover. And since Nate didn't end up getting it (or Megan or Lia), he took Laura to her piano recital. Josh was supposed to play too, but he was still technically quarantined so he had to stay home. It was streamed so I got to watch Laura from home. She played so well! The Christmas recital is my favorite one of the year. And we love her's and Josh's teacher Ashley. We've been with her a long time and she is fabulous! I was sad Josh didn't get to go, but I think he was honestly relieved. The next picture is what we did every day until the term ended right before Christmas...homework at the table (while Megan did something else on the computer because she was basically done). The kids were good sports about it under the circumstances. By the time we were out of quarantine, the term was over. So no one got to go back to school before it ended for Christmas break. It wasn't easy finishing projects and taking finals at home, but they did it. At the same time, I was feeling awful. What started out as just a bad headache for me got worse. The nausea and body aches and chills were terrible. Some of the day I felt okay, but other times I sat at the table or in my bed and cried. Nate and the kids were so helpful and our families were great about checking in, praying for me, and dropping off meals. I tried to keep Megan entertained and get ready for Christmas when I was feeling decent. Nate worked from home and took care of things and managed to squeeze in a ski day or two after we were pretty certain he wasn't going to get it. One of those times, he crashed and hit his head really hard on a tree. Thank goodness for his helmet! He may not have walked away from it if he wasn't wearing a helmet.
