A special thank you to you all, our dear angel friends, for being here for us :) The past 24 hours, truly has been a whirlwind of emotions, for us all, going from a normal day start yesterday, to the sudden shocking news, that made our thoughts spin in a circle. We're continuing with the very good care, after the news of the triplets, Brayden, Colby, and Jacob, along with Kayla testing positive for covid19. Alyssa has been keeping us updated. Brayden is the only one showing symptoms, he has a fever. Alyssa and Aj are treating him, and they are keeping quarantined at home. The kids school sent out a memo to all parents of students who attend their school, about the positive test results. Kayla is quarantining in her addition. We all are quarantining here at home, to be safe. we're wearing a mask, especially when we go around the house, and when we go to go outside. my mom's doctor gave her some really good tips, that are helpful to us all too. my mom's doctor did say, when it came to testing, that whether it's positive or negative, there's not much they can do to help us, but we can do things, to ensure we keep safe as we can, including wearing our mask, taking vitamin C and vitamin D, to build up our immune systems, and also, quarantining,and her doctor said, if we have any symptoms, to treat the symptoms, and to continue to isolate.



currently, none of us here in our home, including Kayla, aren't experiencing any symptoms. We're very thankful. We hope and pray, that Alyssa, Aj, and the kids will be ok too. it's very scary, how fast this exposure happened, it went from, everyone ok, to everyone being exposed very suddenly. it was a stressful, hectic day yesterday, and all of us were baffled, and shocked by the news. it really surprised us too, as we've had birthday's, holiday's, get togethers, baking friday's each week, and have all remained healthy. We aren't 100% sure, where and how the triplets, and Kayla got exposed to the virus. We know we all will eventually get the vaccine. We're gonna continue to take the very best care, and are keeping to our daily routines, best we can during these times. We just want everyone to be ok, and that with each day forward, progress will be made, and we'll all come out of this, fine, and will be able to move forward into newer times, most likely by the month of June :) we feel very appreciative of you all, our dear angel friends, and also my mom's doctor who also gave us some really good guidance, that's helpful to us too :) We're gonna keep on keeping on with pure focus on good health :) We're doing all we can to keep health, including opening windows, getting fresh air into our home :)

Hi Chris & family. Continue to take good care. Pictures are great. I did not get out today. Feeling a bit drained. A good night"s sleep will help. Black flies are out. Poor Henri got bit all over his tummy while playing in water. Drug store tomorrow. Hugs! Brooke

Hi Chris and Holly. So very glad everyone is doing all right. Covid can be very scary since it affects everyone differently. It is good you are all quarantining. That will help a lot. Baking Friday will seem strange but you and Holly will still have a fun time. I am making chocolate chip cookies tomorrow.

Was out and checked on my flowers today. I have a few hostas the deer haven't found yet. I am hoping they don't eat them.

You and Holly have a great evening.

Hugs
John and Debbie
