The End of Life as We Know It

February 20, 2020, was Keira's last day in a brick and mortar school until February 2021!

Keira's school was the first to tell its students not to come back, but that is because they had a natural holiday break starting the 20th. The rest of the country shut down its schools on February 26th.

We felt so blessed that the city didn't go on lockdown until March 14th because we were able to renew our visas on time (February 24), and the girls were able to get their braces off (March 8).

This sign (and others like it) was the beginning of the government taking notice and trying to make the people aware.

Anti-bacterial soap was the first item for sale as I walked into this grocery store.

And this man's basket was filled with sanitizing items.

I actually thought people were going a little overboard, but at this time, the death rate was very small, and I wasn't seeing how it was going to reach our country.

So, we continued on with life for a very short while.

On the 18th, some friends of mine and one of their mothers had breakfast together and then went shopping at a bazaar.

And Kylie and Karis taught their last ballet class on February 29.
