New year, two more teeth gone

 As usual, time continues to zoom by. I'm thinking maybe I should set a reminder for myself to blog on here, even if it's just for brief updates.

Thing is, there's not a lot to report these days, as we are still dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. You and I went to visit Nana back in October; that is the last time we've gone anywhere to visit anyone. We also had Suzanne come to visit during that month. The infection numbers were starting to go up a bit, but it wasn't terrible yet. Then the holidays came and the numbers got a bit out of control for a while. There was also the presidential election in November, where we finally voted out T***p (I don't even like to write his name, I always referred to him as "45"). After a tumultuous inauguration a couple of weeks ago (look this up if you don't remember it), we have Joe Biden as president and Kamala Harris as vice-president--first female vice ever in the US! Things are looking up, as there is a vaccine for Covid now, but it's a limited supply. Only frontline workers (people like nurses, doctors, etc) can get it right now, so dad and I are waiting our turn, as are many people.

Events with you: you recently lost your first molar! And it was only a few weeks prior to that when you lost another incisor! You've been doing homeschool as always (and thank goodness we are homeschoolers with the pandemic going on!), making lots of progress. You are also still doing karate, which the classes are online right now. You have a graduation coming up this month, which will mark the end of advanced class...meaning you will start BLACK BELT training in March!! Super exciting :) 

Currently you love your large stuffed animal cats, which you call "boops" and you drag them around with you everywhere in the house. Their names are Tallie and Breadbun. You love to make domino runs and Keva contraptions (Keva blocks are basically the same as Kapla, which you loved playing with when we were in France). Speaking of France, I can hardly believe that it was an entire year ago that we were getting ready to head there. Had no idea that things would go the way they did, and now no idea when we will get to return. I'm fairly certain ti won't be until 2022. I'm hoping we will be able to at least travel domestically this summer, even if we have to camp and/or sleep in the car during the entire trip (I'm not too sure of staying in any hotels for a while, as many of them have been used as temporary Covid-hospitals). I want to do a western trip and and an eastern one. I'm also hoping they might open the border with Canada, but I have very big doubts about that. Want to go see Québec, New Brunswick, and such once it's possible. 

Anyway, that's enough for now. I really do have the goal of posting here more often...we'll see if I can do that! Love you lots ~mom
