Staying at home (May 2020)

Hi everyone!

It has been a long time since you’ve heard from us. It’s all been pretty crazy recently for us all and like everyone else, Josh, Wally and I have just been trying to figure out our new normal. Things seem to be settling down though so I thought I would send a quick little post to let you all know: We are doing fine.

It was really funny, just before the Californian Governor declared that everyone had to quarantine themselves at home, I had a little premonition a few days before and went to Target and stocked up like crazy.

Josh thought I was a little crazy when I arrived home with this stash but literally 24 hours later, the Californian Governor made his surprise announcement and we gave a sigh of relief that we would not be part of the mad rush of people trying to get supplies.

It took Josh and I a little while to get used to working from home. We divided up our work days taking care of Wally so that while one of us was in a meeting, the other would be with Wally.

We also made sure to get some fresh air everyday.

When I send out this post, we will be heading into our 9th week of quarantine and thus far, the most fun we’ve had is introducing Wally to solids!

It’s been a lot of fun making his food and watching his face when he tries something new.

But most of all, Josh and I have taken this time to really enjoy watching Wally grow up. In such stressful and unsure times, it has been a silver lining to get quality time as a little family, something we would not have been able to if Josh and I were at the office full-time and Wally was at daycare full time.

So in the meantime, we’ll just get used to this new normal.

I hope that you are all safe and healthy and hopefully we can all catch up when the world gets to some semblance of normal.

Talk soon!

Sim, Josh & Wally
