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).

Yay! Got the blood!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! Oeleboelen.

Isaac is often found in the office, playing Axis and Allies.

Skype night with the six of us!! How...fun :) CANNOT WAIT TO GO OUT WITH THESE LADIES AGAIN!!
|

Lucy got a lot of painting stuff for Christmas from Nana Sue.
|

Saint in the making. Golly she's adorable.

Walking around the block while James is in preschool.

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 :).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISAAC!! He's nine. Wild. (PS - Yes, Errol is part of our bubble and allowed to come over!).

My old tea cozy from my childhood!

Beautiful girl. Also, Heather made the scarf - so pretty, eh?!
|
|
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.
