We are waiting to hear from the governor to see if the lockdown will be extended into May. New Orleans has already extended the lockdown into May but that is not for the entire state. Some people think some other parishes will follow the lead of New Orleans in extending the lockdown. At this point I don’t see state opening up for business with the number of COVID-19 cases there are here. Especially with the amount of cases in the New Orleans Metro area.

Schooling our daughter is still hard. She did get some one on one time with her two teachers on Google Hangouts. I was so proud of her, talking in French to her teachers. It wasn’t supposed to be one on one but no other kids showed up.

Well not much else going on here.

God is good!

Well we are still in lockdown. My wife’s birthday was on Saturday and her parents and sister had Kermit Ruffins come out to our house and play “Happy Birthday” for her. It was great and it made her day a little better, not being able to see her parents and siblings. We got dinner from Sushi Express delivered to us. Thank you Uber Eats! And we had some cake and ice cream with my mother who lives just down the block from us.

We are still having trouble getting our daughter to do her school work. She wants a break and recess after everything she does. We are able to get a little work out of her. I just hope she is learning in this situation. And she won’t be going back to school this school year.

I still worry about us getting sick. My wife does all the shopping and she has been wearing her mask since she made them but I still worry that it won’t be enough to keep us from getting sick.

Well that’s all for now!
God is good!

Edit: I’ve embedded the Kermit Ruffins video!

Well it has been over a week since my last post and in that time two things stand out to me. 1) The stay at home order has been extended to the end of April. 2) Now they recommend wearing a face cover when around other people. My wife made us some face covers. I went out today to get blood drawn but I forgot my face cover. I remembered on the way to my appointment but I did not have time to go back.

This has been harder on my wife and daughter. They always go out in the mornings on weekends but they can’t do that anymore. At first my daughter wanted to go play with her friends all the time but now she seems to be content having virtual play dates with her friends and seeing her neighborhood friends from across the street. Every now and then they go for a ride somewhere. They also take daily walks when my wife is on break from work. Today I went with them on both walks.

Well that is all for now.

I feel like including a picture today! So here is my daughter when she was painting a few days ago.

God is good!
