Dec/January lazy but good Times

We're still in lockdown. I think it's been 2 months since we've been allowed to see any 'safe six'...or maybe 4 months? SInce October? Anyway, overall we're fine because yay we still have school for the kids. And Tyler and I spend a LOT of evenings together, and we just read or chat or watch something. It's quite nice. But man. I MISS MY FrIENDS!!!! I did get the vaccine exactly two weeks ago (Pfizer), and had a really sore arm but otherwise was fine. They had extra doses at a long term care facility so PAH sent out the call for other staff to go - so I did! Unfortunately I still have to abide by the rules...but ya. We haven't gone to church (besides for communion) in a long while, too. Bonnie Henry is to make an announcement on February 5th about whether to extend our lockdown or what and I tell ya - if she doesn't let me see anyone, I might just consider breaking the law! So hard! Anyway. This is what's been going on otherwise:

Nothing like a Friday night, poking Isaac's finger.  I signed the kiddos up to participate in the Spring study at UBC (to look for antibodies in their blood for Covid...this will help to facilitate with daycare/preschool/school decisions).

Bringing mail to the mailbox, and cookies to a neighbour.  Coming home from preschool drop-off the day prior, I saw two ambulances (one being advanced life support) and a firetruck there.  So obviously stuff was going down.  I knocked on the door and met the lady there - an older south asian lady who was a bit shy and curious why I had cookies for her.  I explained I saw the first responders the day prior.  She told me her father-in-law has heart issues and is now in the hospital.  Sounded like he would either leave soon, or die soon...I didn't really want to inquire further :).

Opi gave each kid 20$ for Christmas, so we went out last weekend and got the toys. Isaac thrilled to have more soldiers/fighters in the house.

Lucy picked this little guy from the shelf. His name = Jack.  His birthday = July 1st.  Just like Opi!

We went to Vancouver to walk around.  It was chilly but lovely.

Good-bye, Deck. Currently discussing hiring people or Tyler and Dan doing it. Main concern with Tyler doing it is the time required.  I'd like it done by Spring Break.
