What has brought me the most joy during this time of the pandemic is our family dinners. In March when everything shut down and the girls were getting used to their new normal of one line school,it seemed that they were in their rooms all day long. Allen would be in his home office too. Prior to the pandemic dinner time in our house sometimes might only be 15 minutes and not always have all of us there,depending on schedules. During the pandemic our family dinner time usually would be an hour to an hour in a half. I treasured this time and it was time we usually never would have had.
I also appreciated how flexible everyone was with the meals. Sometimes we were not able to get all the ingredients we may have wanted so we were flexible and did the best we could. We also brought back breakfast for dinner into our routine!
