76. BIG updates from our house (with a guest appearance by Kathrynne)

Published: March 24, 2020, 7 a.m.

Well, like I\u2019ve alluded to other places online, the past two weeks have been packed full of so many different, unexpected things. Some good, some hard, some just plain different than what we expected.

It feels almost as if we\u2019ve lived through an entire month in just a week\u2019s time. In this week\u2019s podcast episode, we sit down and talk about some of the BIG updates/changes/unexpected things that happened at our house recently, including:

  • getting a long-term placement from foster care for a preemie who was still in the NICU (he got out of the hospital today!!!!)
  • the kids being out of school and everything being cancelled \u2014 and how we are letting them plan their routine for the day and how that is working for us
  • Kathrynne\u2019s trip to Suriname where she ended up getting stuck there because the country closed their borders due to COVID-19 (she only ended up having to stay two extra days \u2014 and she shares more about that experience on the podcast)

If you have some extra time and want a more newsy behind-the-scenes peek into what\u2019s going on at our house right now, don\u2019t miss this episode.
