The New Normal; Staying At Home

2006

Usually I am running around the Two River area capturing photos for this newspaper. But since the stay at home order, I’ve been turning the camera on my own family at home in Middletown to remember this historic moment in time. My wife Rebecca is a teacher who still manages to run her morning routine with her students by reading books and teaching lessons to her preschool students through Zoom. My 4-year-old daughter Arya practices writing letters in ABCMouse while my 7-year-old son Lucas works on his virtual lessons with his teacher. The days may be long at times, but we are together, and safe.
