5 years

March 13, 2025

Today, March 13th is the 5 year anniversary of the day the world shut down for us. The kids came home from school on Friday the 13th of 2020 and just never went back… This is what I wrote on Monday 3/16/20:

Well, there are worse places to be stuck for the next 3 weeks than at home! School is cancelled and we’re practicing “social distancing” to keep ourselves and others healthy. The kids were supposed to have eDay work for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week but, after there were several confirmed cases right in our community, they just cancelled it all until April 6th. The kids are excited about no school but not super excited about spending the next 3 weeks in isolation!

Little did we know that 3 weeks would turn into months. What a strange time we lived through.

Happy to be back to “normal” and love to see these kids thriving in school!

Happy Thursday!

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments

    That was a very sad time for our school children! Many were set back and may never recover! Luckily, not the Brown Clan!

    We lost several good friends to COVID . I hope we learned from this, but it seems to be politicized .
    Y’all handled it about as well as could be done.

    We made the best of it, had some quality family time and got back to “life” as quickly as possible. So thankful these kiddos didn’t miss a beat!
