June 28, 2022 Jollibee is now open near us! We made fun of it when we heard of it but after eating it at the American Dream Mall, we ate it everyday and we are fans now. Alexandria, VA. So good!

June 30, 2022 Side hug, Albert is in the basement in quarantine. Curie says she has a headache.
July 1, 2022 Erin tests positive for COVID, We assume Curie also has COVID, Elia is fine. Albert comes up to help take care of Erin and Curie. Elia holds her breath to take this picture.
July 2, 2022 Elia wakes up with a cough and fever. We all have COVID and won’t be clear by CDC rules until 5 days after fever subsides for the kids. Albert and Erin will be clear on the 8th and 9th.
July 3, 2022 Kids are feeling better, Erin still feels terrible with a sore throat and fatigue, Albert only has fatigue and a dry cough. Kids don;t have a fever wiithout fever reducers.
July 4, 2022 Acording to the CDC the kids will be clear by the 11th, just in time for our vacation. Erin feels better just a dry cough. We get new face paint and let them paint their faces for the first time.
July 5, 2022 The girls feel great but coughing remains. Albert and Erin recover slower with fatigue. Albert makes everyone;s favorite foods and over does it. The kids discover Life Savers as a cough drop substitute.
July 6, 2022 Albert returns to work. Erin takes a day off, kids are playing with a residual cough, UberEats $9 service fee is insidioous.
July 7, 2022 We are largely okay and waiting now for the remaining days for the girls to clear by the 11th. It is actually so nice to have everybody together.
