Dusting this off

 Time to dust this off, who knows where our nation is going, and this will be a good place to start documenting again.

Four

WOW ..

We are 4 !!

I don't know where the time has gone.

So an update. 

Corona has been rough, I mean where hasn't it been, we are in a hot spot area. So we don't go out much at all, zero stores, we grocery shop online, take out if we need a break from cooking. 

We planted a garden with veggies we started from seeds. 

Our vacation plans are nixed because we can't leave the country, but we have our health, and we were able to resume in person mass a few weeks ago. 

Some of the Lizard's favorite things: 

Her babysitter is her BFF and like a big sister.

She likes Green Beans raw. 

She loves black olives and even better if they are on pizza.

She loves water but it needs to be cold -with ice.

Playing with her neighbor friends. 

She is ready for school to return. She misses learning in person. We did our best with remote learning, as I was still working everyday ( at home during the day ). She has been practicing her prayers, and can say grace all on her own. She's mastered the sign of the cross ( but sometimes needs the encouragement to start with the right hand. We have 5 weeks before school will start - she is going to our churches Catholic school (god-willing they open).

Pre-what.

This nugget starts Preschool in a couple weeks,

 so we've been testing out the backpack thing.

so for now, she wears it to church and has all her quiet materials in it.

I think she's gonna give the teachers a run for their money$$.  In all honesty she is super excited to go, she is so social. The complete opposite of hubs and I. She loves being around people. She has quite the vocabulary. I can't wait for it to flourish and blossom more.

A little splash of our summer..   

We climbed 500 feet into the trees for this lookout in Tobermory, ON

Sunsets in Manitoulin

Co-Captain of the boat.

Another sunset.

Hope y'all are enjoying the summer as much as we are..

Preschool

We went to look at Preschools today.?!  How is my baby old enough to be left with someone else to learn.  

Oh well. She is so excited. She picked out the perfect outfit, did her hair, had to put some lip gloss and some "blush" on. ( she has makeup brushes that aren't allowed anywhere near makeup -- that she sits in front of a mirror and brushes her face all over ) she doesn't get this make up routine from me people. 

We went we saw, we are signing up for 2  1/2 days a week. Just the perfect mix to get into the 'school' routine learn to play with others, meet friends.  

Let's see how this rolls.

Enjoy the rest of Winter. this school thing is still 7 months away.

My excuse for not blogging in so long is pretty lame!  I used to do blog during my lunch hour, as it was super convenient and stress relieving..  New job, new IT, no bueno on the internet. Like everything is locked down, they are super paranoid of being hacked. So it then becomes a late night thing, and well my sweetie is a night owl. 

I mean how can you resist late night parties with that smile and curls. Seriously she loves staying up til like 10, 11 at night. The if - if she gets a N-A-P, and today fine folks she didn't nap. That means she falls asleep super early and I get blogging time. That doesn't happen often.  

So she enjoyed Christmas a lot this year, she was super excited about baby Jesus showing up in the manger on Christmas Eve. Santa brought her a baby "doll" like she wanted. She got some toys to help the budding musician, like a karaoke machine, drumsticks and a electric keyboard. 

(seriously almost suckered into buying this $200 stuffed deer) Thankfully I broke out of the spell of her smile and giggles. 

Hopefully its not another 4-5-6 months before I post again. 

Summer

Cheese

Our summer has been super busy, I started a new job. Lizzie has been with some wonderful babysitters at our house, as we found she has some allergies, which caused us to have to leave our wonderful in home daycare after 2 years.  She has been enjoying sleeping in, playing on her playground, singing and dancing up a storm.
