St. Patrick's Day and the Coronavirus

We are living in a crazy time. The kids are out of school for their spring break plus at least an additional two weeks due to the coronavirus. They're trying to slow the spread of the virus by having everyone practice social distancing. As of today, the state of California is on strict stay-at-home orders. We aren't supposed to got out unless it's for essentials. The governor also said he doesn't think it's likely that the kids will return to school this school year.

We have been having the kids stay quarantined between our house and the Huynhs. They have been having so much fun with each other. Mai and Jack stayed the night at our house the night before St. Patrick's Day so when all the kids woke up, we had green pancakes with Lucky Charms marshmallows and I gave the kids some fun things to dress up with for the day.

Jesse has also been DMing a Dungeons and Dragons adventure for Atreyu, Cambria, Jack, Jaden, and myself. We have all been having so much fun. Jesse went back to work today for the first time since we've been "quarantined" and depending on how he and the neighbors feel, this may be the last day the kids get to spend with them for a while since Jesse is much more likely to come in contact with the virus. Jesse said there aren't any current confirmed cases at his hospital but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

I'm so thankful for our living prophet who has been preparing us to study the gospel at home. Jesse blessed and passed us the sacrament in our home on Sunday. It was a special experience and it seems that it will become the norm for the foreseeable future. I'm so thankful for the priesthood. Atreyu and Cambria each prepared something to share with the family on Sunday as well. We had a beautiful sabbath day.
