- [Amber] Jennay has been looking everywhere
for this little, tiny baby Nemo.
- But now we need to find his dad.
- [Amber] Uh-oh.
(upbeat music)
- [Jeremy] So, Laura said she wanted
to make her own oatmeal this morning for breakfast.
I think this might be too much water, Laura.
We'll see if it works.
(cheerful music)
I'm proud of you for making it yourself.
So, everyone has been eating oatmeal.
(cheerful music)
How did you sleep last night Nay-Nay?
- Good.
It's yummy.
- [Jeremy] Yeah, we made it yummy-yummy for your tummy.
You've been having a bad time going to bed lately.
How did it go last night?
- Actually I slept very well.
- [Jeremy] Good!
The kids have been playing so much with these marbles.
This is my favorite part, right here.
- I just got back from my morning run
and it was actually really hard for me to run today.
I'm drooping in sweat and it's funny,
some days are easier with running and some days are harder.
I don't quite understand that,
but I'm really excited,
because I've been slowly working up my distance and my pace.
And I am hitting three miles now,
and that's really exciting to me.
It's been a really...
Lotta of years since I've been running three miles.
And so, I'm making progress.
But I walk in the door and everybody's ready for the day,
and Izaak's standing there in his pajamas.
And I'm like, "Why are you still wearing your pajamas?"
And he goes, "'Cause I have no clean clothes."
And I thought about it and it's true.
We haven't done laundry in a couple of days,
and even just a couple of days,
and we start running out of clothes.
It's definitely laundry day over here,
you can probably hear the washer and dryer
in the background.
That'll be happening all day long, probably.
- I've put all my clothes in the laundry.
- [Amber] You started the load?
- Yeah.
- [Amber] Way to go, dude.
You could've also put on your bathing suit,
that's another option.
- I like pajamas, they are comfy.
(piano playing)
- I just peaked out my window,
and this little moment
between Jeremy and Caleb is making my heart so happy.
Caleb was having some extra energy this morning
and we wanted to help him find a positive way to get it out.
And so, Jeremy and Caleb decided
to go spend some time on the trampoline.
And I'm just loving it.
I think when we have these big emotions, or needs,
or feelings, it's so important to remember
how our physical body is so connected to us.
And I mean, that's how I work through my emotions,
when I'm having a hard time.
Running or walking is such a healthy way
for me to deal with that.
And so, seeing Caleb and Jeremy
have this positive connection,
is really making me happy.
Jeremy is dressed for the day.
This is momentous, he showered, his hair's done.
- I need a haircut.
- [Amber] Doesn't everyone in quarantine life
need a haircut?
I am also dressed.
- [Jeremy] It happened.
- This is a big deal that we both showered
and got dressed on the same day.
- I am going to make Caleb a bird costume.
He's gonna be a parrot.
- [Amber] He's gonna be a parrot.
What are you?
- A bird.
(bird noises)
- [Amber] Are you a cat?
(meowing)
And here's what she made for herself.
These are tissue paper-maché fairy wings.
- [Jeremy] With those wings and earrings,
you should try your teal glasses.
- Oh yeah!
I'll be right back.
- [Jeremy] Now you have your matching glasses.
What's this called?
This is like a little hair...
- Um, a hairband.
- [Jeremy] Hairband.
And the wings.
- [Amber] So, Jennay wanted a mask too.
So, Elise made this one.
- It's a bunny.
(piano music)
(laughing)
It's a really adorable bunny.
- It work on a baby.
- [Amber] Yeah.
- A newborn.
- [Amber] Yes.
Jennay has been looking everywhere for this little,
tiny baby Nemo.
- But now we need to find his dad.
- [Amber] Uh-oh.
Are they still separated?
- [Jeremy] That's the third movie.
- [Amber] Okay, now we need to find his dad.
- Yeah, because he is lost, he can't find anywhere his dad.
- [Amber] Okay, we gotta find him.
Good job finding baby Nemo.
- I put him in here, so he's safe.
And this is his bed.
- [Amber] This is his bed?
Let's see.
Okay, so baby Nemo is safe in his bed.
- Yes, so he can't fall down and bump his head.
- [Amber] So, we just need to find the dad
and then we can put him in there with him.
- Yeah!
- I found it.
- [Amber] Did you find it?
- Yeah.
- [Amber] Good find!
- Can you open this up and look inside?
- What is it?
- [Amber] This is Jennay's favorite backpack.
- Daddy, Nemo's dad, you found it!
- [Amber] Is it daddy Nemo and Dory?
- Yeah, we found it!
Look!
We can do a pool party.
- [Amber] Yes!
(cheerful music)
Daddy Nemo, and Dory, and baby Nemo,
all together again at last.
Aw, these are so special.
- Yeah, because we don't want to lose them again.
Daddy!
- Baby's daddy?
That's really cool.
- He was in the playroom, sitting there and then...
It was so silly.
- [Amber] It was so silly.
Are you telling everybody?
- I found baby Nemo.
- Where was he?
- He was in the playroom, sitting there,
and then he was so silly.
They're in their own three little beds,
like my crib.
And they have a blanky in there.
- [Amber] Do they?
- I just pretended.
- Oh, good job pretending.
So these fish that Jennay is playing with,
have become a very big deal at our house.
She is carrying them around everywhere,
she's playing with them all the time.
- Can I show them?
- [Amber] Yes.
- That is what we had.
We don't want to lose them again.
- [Amber] No, we don't wanna lose them again.
We're being very careful with these fish.
Oh yeah, you do have a boat.
It's in your kiddie pool!
- We don't have a kitty pool.
- [Amber] Yes, that's what's outside,
the little pool.
- It's not a kitty pool.
- [Amber] Oh, what is it?
- It's the kid pool with some kids in it.
- [Amber] Okay, so it's the kid pool?
- Yeah.
- [Amber] Not the kiddie pool?
Got it.
- Silly kitty pool.
We don't have kitties.
Only Michelle has some.
- [Amber] Oh, you're thinking about cats.
- Yes, because Michelle has some.
- [Amber] Michelle does have cats.
We don't have any cats.
- Everyday for the last couple of weeks,
we've been doing a daily love-building
or connection-building activity as a family.
- So today we are going to use these papers,
and we are going to build our family connections.
Remember how we have so many different connections
in our family.
And we choose if they're strong connections.
- [Jeremy] We're all taking sheets of paper
to write down ways we connect.
Then we're gonna make a chain link of those connections.
(cheerful music)
One of mine is that every night when I put Elise to bed,
we give each other a big hug and she says,
"Dad, you're amazing."
And it's become kind of a tradition.
I love that tradition.
- So do I.
- They can't breath without water.
- [Amber] Do they need water?
- Yes, because they must choke if they're in here.
- [Amber] So they need to get in the water?
- Yeah.
- [Amber] Okay.
Daddy got you some water.
- [Jeremy] Now they can breath again.
- [Amber] The fish are safe in the water now.
(babbling)
- Baby Nemo can't go on there.
That could be not safe.
When he's up there, he can't be safe.
- [Amber] Okay.
(upbeat music)
- I feel love when I'm helping Jennay learn.
- Playing all types of sports with my family.
- Doing something that I like with my family.
Or teaches, like art.
- My connection is playing with Jennay.
- [Caleb] Hugs and kisses from Mom and Dad.
- I wrote "silliness together".
Do you guys remember when we've had like,
funny dinners, where we talk in funny accents,
or just totally goofing off?
That builds connections.
- Playing with my younger siblings.
- Yes, you're great at that.
- Babysitting the little girls.
(babbling)
- I love that we can watch in it.
- [Amber] You love watching TV on Mommy's bed
and we all snuggle up together,
that's what you're talking about, huh?
- I wanna do that tomorrow.
- [Amber] We should that again, that was really fun.
- Somebody helping me with a song on the piano.
- When we help each other it builds connections.
- Reading with my mom at night.
- Someone saying something nice to me.
- This is a lot of paper.
- [Amber] We do, we have a lot of paper.
- [Jeremy] A lot of love connections.
- I love playing with baby Nemo and I love touching him.
(babbling)
- Doing a pedicure and spa with my family.
- Our spa day was so fun.
- Saying "I'm sorry" and hearing "I'm sorry".
See how long our family connection is.
Oh, it is taller than me.
There it is!
All right, so this is our family connection chain.
These are all things
that build our family connection and love.
Dinner tonight is a crock pot meal.
I am making stew, which we haven't had in a super long time.
I had some stew meat in the freezer,
so I just got that out and then I'm going to season it.
And add some potatoes, and carrots, and celery,
and turn it into stew.
(upbeat music)
I'm definitely crying.
Onions don't always get to me but today they do.
- Stew isn't my favorite.
I don't like the carrots or the beef.
- I love the cooked carrots.
- [Amber] Isn't that funny?
Different tastes for different people?
- Yeah.
- [Amber] It's ready to cook.
(water splashing)
- [Jeremy] Did you bring Nemo back out into the pool?
- Yeah.
Nemo!
(playful chatting)
- So today my nephew Luke,
is having his birthday
and the kids are doing an online game playing
with him over Zoom.
- The National animal of Scotland is the Unicorn.
- Oh, nice!
- [Jeremy] So it's quiet time,
are you on your computer?
- Yeah, because there's two funny things speaking
and also fish in my room.
- [Jeremy] Can I see what it's doing?
Come show me.
So, we do quiet time every day.
Jennay has been doing really good.
(computer making noise)
- It's a funny thing.
- [Jeremy] Do you wanna know a secret of what you can do
with computers when it's not working?
So the key is, you turn it off,
and then you turn it back on.
(computer turning on)
See if it's working now.
(peaceful music)
So, what's the plan?
- For our non-electronic project,
we're making a marble run.
- [Jeremy] So we introduced Izaak to marble racing.
On YouTube there's some pretty incredible videos.
It inspired them.
- Yup, we're making one.
- We're digging up the tall side.
- [Jeremy] 'Cause you're gonna have it tilt down this side?
- We found baby Nemo again and we put it in her pocket.
- So he's safe, right Mom?
- Right.
There once was a bear,
so filled with love and happiness
that whenever he roamed the forest
and came across another living thing,
he would give it a hug.
We did lots of laundry today.
This is like three or four loads' worth.
But now we obviously have tons of laundry to fold,
so after dinner I think we're gonna fold our laundry.
And then watch a show together as a family.
That will be the incentive,
that if we all get our laundry done and put it away,
we can relax together.
But for now I'm hungry
and all I care about is food and dinner.
And the stew's ready.
Here's how it turned out.
I put a thickener in there.
Time to serve it up.
- [Jeremy] I'm loving this.
- We don't know how we're gonna make it get over there.
- It has to be at this angle.
We're thinking we're just gonna have it go
straight through, a little down, and then come down.
- [Jeremy] Nice.
- I want to play in the pool again, please.
- [Jeremy] You played in the pool for like,
two hours earlier.
- (babbling) I'll do it for seven minutes.
- [Jeremy] Seven minutes?
Okay Nay-Nay, it's time for dinner,
so we're gonna go inside and do dinner.
- [Amber] Dinner is served.
- This looks amazing, thanks for making it, Amber.
- Thanks Mom.
- Yeah, thanks Mom.
- [Amber] So, we're kinda split
on who actually likes stew and who doesn't.
- It actually tastes good.
- [Amber] What?
You like it?
Yes!
- This is the best stew I've ever had,
since I can remember.
- Usually when I make stew,
it ends up being like,
a mush.
And so, I'm feeling pretty good about this.
It's actually stew-like and it tastes really good.
(upbeat music)
- [Jeremy] Laundry time!
- Never do this to your mother's garden.
(upbeat music)
- I'm stuck.
(clapping)
