Here's just a smattering of what we've been up to since the entire world has shut down. As the photos show, Emmie and I spend lots of time together. I think overall, we're loving all being home together. We're still adjusting and trying to work out a schedule, but life is good. We have Grandma in town and may never send her home! Also, we had an earthquake yesterday morning. At 5.7 on the Richter scale, it woke me up from my early-morning dozing and sent Nate running out of his office, our closet.

Not to brag or anything, but my hubby took first in his age group, and he works his blinding green socks that he got for a prize. His dad also placed in his age group! Grandma helped Leah follow her dream of setting up a leprechaun trap the night before St. Patty's Day. She didn't catch one, but there was definitely some evidence left behind that one had been there. We snuck in a face paint. We spent an afternoon playing at the park. We did some exploring in the skinnies. And we did a quick hike at Red Cliffs on the way ou...
