It's hard to believe school starts next week. It feels like we're walking into a science experiment (or maybe a petri dish is more apt): will viruses grow on us, or will we remain pure specimens? I spoke with our new school nurse, who is also a PA, and she chose to look at this through a positive lens: "Kids have never been groomed to be this careful about spreading germs ever- maybe we'll get through this fine!" She has a point. These kids are going to be scrutinized all day long, unlike their older peers in college where the outbreaks are happening. Elementary school parents also tend to be a little more conservative than college students about how they spend their after-school hours; they likely won't be throwing keggers and amassing at off-campus parties without masks. I'm hopeful...
Gabriel had his first run-in with life as a big brother this weekend. A friend with a newborn very trustingly allowed this:

| It's possible this picture will be replicated in 6 months... |
 |
| Pool buddies (social distancing, of course) |
 |
| "Ich gehe wandern!" (and check me for ticks!) |
 |
| Dave likes to blast Andrew Lloyd Webber while he's chillin' on the River. |
I've toyed with the idea of cutting my own hair during this pandemic, but this meme put me straight. How do you do it, Mom?
Happy Tuesday!
