Happy 2nd Birthday to my Beatrice!🎈🎉🎂💕I love singing songs with you, reading books to you, hearing your contagious giggle as you ask for tickles and neck kisses. I adore how when I go into the other room for even 4 seconds, once I return, you run to me with your arms outstretched and happily exclaim, “Mama I found you! I missed you!” I admire the way you’re able to eat and paint and do so many things without ever spilling or getting messy (teach me!). The way you look out for Madalena and wave at her often through the day saying, “hi sister!” warms my heart. You are curious about everything and ask so many wise questions that blow me away. Thank you for demanding to always tend to and take care of my boo-boos with a bandaid and kiss, even the ones that aren’t boo-boos like my moles or bigger freckles on my arms😂 I love you to the moon and stars and back, baby girl. Can’t wait to see all you’ll do, being two!!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday to my Madalena!💕🎂🎉🎁 You make me laugh many times each day with your sassy poses, smirks and silliest glances. I love your dance moves and how often you ask for music (even when it’s wheels on the bus on repeat x7😅.) You are so determined and it’s amazing to see your follow through on any task you set out to learn and do. I don’t know how you do it, but you can hear me crack open a can of Diet Coke from three rooms over and 2 seconds later, appear at my feet with a cup in hand asking for a sip of “spicy!”. I love the way you snuggle up, how you can find a bird or airplane in the sky before anyone else, and your desire to always be barefoot. You are so smart and seeing your eyes light up when you accomplish something newly learned is everything. It makes me feel so good when you greet me every morning like we’ve been apart for months, with a running start and arms wide-stretched, giving the tightest hug once we embrace. I can’t wait to watch you learn and grow so much this year! I love you so much, happy birthday baby girl!!!!!

I have been thinking of you and your families and hope that you are doing okay! Our family has been here in Arizona for more than 5 weeks already (with the first two weeks quarantining), and we have decided to stay here in this area for the foreseeable future. Josh has started a new job with a company here in Arizona, and, while it’s something he can eventually do with more flexibility, it’s best that he’s here for a while to better focus on his new role. I have gone back and forth on how to share this, since our world is in such a trying time. Your difficulties and struggles are real and important. I want to be sensitive to the hardships many of you are going through during these challenging times, and I would hate to diminish or distract from the overwhelming physical and emotional struggles and tragedies you and others we know are going through. I love my online community, and I value the gift of connecting with you in this virtual way. While much is unknown and uncertain in our world right now, I am grateful for the small bursts of peace and clarity I have received as we’ve been a bit in limbo. I know it’s a crazy time, but I do believe all of us can still find peace and clarity through meditation or prayer and counseling with loved ones. ⁣ ⁣

Something that has helped me find peace greatly over here has been leading sing-a-longs with my children at random times during our day together (the sillier song actions, the better!) with a big grand finale sing-along before bed together. Hearing their sweet voices while singing loudly alongside them, everything from Sound of Music to This Old Man to Itsy Bitsy Spider, has been nothing short of special. ⁣ ⁣

I am sending my love and strength to those of you right now who are also trying to figure out your new normal. Please know that you matter to me. I hope that as I continue to share and as we all share together we can create helpful, happy, humorous, or inspiring bright spots for each other in our days. Thanks for being here, you’re in my thoughts and prayers and I love you so much.

Saturday virtual learning.📚Thankfully these kids haven’t asked me what day it is yet so no one is onto me😎🥳😅 But weekend school is in session because we clocked in like 12 minutes of productive school on Thursday, 0 minutes on Friday, and I really can’t remember much of the days before that.💁🏻‍♀️
