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).

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.
