2020 has come and gone. In #quarentinelife, we obsessively checked the news, meticulously planned our groceries, zoom-partied with friends, and eventually and cautiously ventured outdoors to hike and play. Chung continued working from home, while Mel closed down her clinic and guided the kids through distance learning. Zoe came to love playing the piano and became an expert at using computers, and Ian learned how to bike!
It was tough, but we were lucky to have great family, friends, and neighbors, helping us out and keeping us company.
We were still able to sneak in memorable hikes, including one at Pinnacles National Park, where we explored the caves and hiked for 8 miles -- a new record for the kids!
Closer to home, Mel led the kids in a baffling number of activities to keep them busy and thinking (and away from screens!)
Zoe and Ian are still an endless source of entertainment for us and for themselves. There's no end to the shenanigans.
Doing our best to keep in shape... Mel is dancing along to Zumba, Chung finds resistance training where he can, Zoe can make it across the monkey bars, and Ian beat Ring Fit!
Still celebrating what we can in this grim year... Mel has become a master cake decorator for our many covid birthdays!
We wish everyone a better 2021, and look forward to seeing you in person soon!
We anxiously await the vaccine and for life to return to normal. Meanwhile, will let Zoe play you out!
Sadly, we also had to say goodbye to Kratos... He will always be in our hearts.
