A series of videos created in 2020 to capture isolated family life during the COVID-19 pandemic.
When you have some free time on the couch (but no personal space) and just keep reading to see how bad things are out there and how people are reacting.

Baking some bread
Multitasking
Drumming on some cans
Cooking with Dad
When we're all at home it feels like all I do is dishes and cleaning, so naturally I had to make an animation about it.
A quiet moment
We've been hanging out in the house for a while now
That I've been at home for too long mood
The only flying we're doing these days
Working from home with a toddler was sometimes the best with forced breaks to remind you to relax, and sometimes the worst when it was hard to focus on anything for more than a couple minutes at a time. My favorite moment had to be during a stressful meeting when we were all trying to decide the best way to solve a problem, and suddenly he started playing the kazoo in the background. Somehow in that moment it put things in perspective in just the right way.

Flying through the house!
Endless multitasking
A quiet moment
Playing hide and seek
We are lucky that Bruno is a Very. Patient. Dog.
NO PANTS, no pants, no pants
Nothing like a really long stick to make riding on Dad's shoulders more fun.
Working out together is sometimes extra effective, sometimes extra annoying, and sometimes both.
Ready to start the week
Drawing this one I was reminded of how big my Dad's back felt when I was a kid.
Quarantine feats of strength
Burpee/down dog/plank. This kid has the home exercising routine down!
During 2020 we managed to have some good times at home. We were one of the many families who bought what I've heard called a "pool-in-a-bag" to help entertain us, and spent a good chunk of the summer playing in it.
When it's cold but you want to get out of the house, so you put on mittens to blow bubbles.
Hats and bubbles because why not
Big splash!
Enjoying unseasonably warm weather
When the sun comes out after many days of rain
Helping around the house
Catching bubbles
Kisses in the sunshine
