March Break in Clearwater

 At the very last minute, we decided to take a family trip down south. With the kids finally fully vaccinated, and the adults boosted, we got away for one week of relaxation and sunshine. Here are a few photos:

Another Week, Another Birthday

 Our #1 turned 12 a few days ago, and her sisters dressed up for the occasion. Here are some photos of the special day:

Double Digits

 And so it was that our #2 turned 10 on Friday. Thankfully, there happened to be a pedagogical day, and we were able to go on an outing. We visited the Biodome for the first time in several years. This was followed by lunch, cake and 10 gifts. She was so excited that our usually reserved daughter exclaimed: “I don’t know why I am acting this way”. Here are a few pics from the special day, in no particular order:

The Girls Head Back To School

The girls have been back to school for a little over two weeks, and their sports restarted five days ago. Every once in a while, getting to school presents a challenge…Here they are shovelling a path from the front door on the way to school:

Virtual School Begins

With COVID cases too high for in-person learning, the girls enjoyed their first week of virtual school. We set up little cubicles using poster cardboard. It seems to do the trick. They are slated to go back in person tomorrow, but that has been postponed due to a large snow storm that is heading our way!

Three Reluctant Princesses

 We just received the digital versions of the school photos. I somehow convinced them to dress alike, but I have a feeling that the older two removed their dresses as soon as the photos were taken. Here they are, the three reluctant princesses:

More Winter Fun

 With the new lockdown in effect due to soaring COVID numbers, we had little choice than to embrace winter:
