Gooma & Pa are here!

 It has been 13 months since Gooma and Pa have visited our house.  We were lucky enough to be with them in person in June and August, and Seth was with them in November - but either way - it has been such a looooooong time!  And we were so thrilled to have them vaccinated and visiting inside our houses without masks!!!!

We went on a long walk in cold spring park and Justin found this skull!  

Lots of fun time in the basement!

Lots of cooking for Passover - with the best helpers!!!!

Of course arts & crafts projects straight from the imagination of Justin!

Putting Mom to work signing letters for my job!

Shopping was fun!  3 stores in one morning....

The boys waited outside and barely waited until Gooma and Pa got out of the car!

We are a cartoon!

 

Birthday outdoor pedicure

My ladies know me so well!  One of my birthday presents was an outdoor pedicure.  What a treat!  Nora, Andrea and Jenny joined.  I made customized tumblers and Jerald whipped up a spiced cider.  The best!

 

It's Vaccination Day!!!!

 

Random March!

Love Ezra & Seth playing video games...

No one is cooler than Ezra in his beanie (which for the last few months he wears daily!) and his faux leather jacket.  

COVID playdate - coloring outside!

How I color my hair - outside no matter the weather

 

Lunch date!

All the kids are at school so we had a salad lunch date in between zoom meetings

This is how we celebrate COVID style - outdoor + masks + ice cream truck!

 

Mustache?!?

I am NOT supposed to put these on social media.  But I would be sad if we didn't remember this sweet moment, when Jerald taught Justin to shave for the first time.  Where did my baby go?  

 

Happy #43 to me!

 I was in a bit of a funk about this birthday.  Not because of the number, but I thought I might be the only person to get away without a COVID birthday.  If we remember last year, my birthday was the last time we ate out in a restaurant and the last time I had my friends in my house.  Well my friends and family made it so special that I accepted my COVID birthday!  

I kept saying the only thing I wanted for my birthday is a meal with my friends...  well the weather, Jerald, Andrea and Nora delivered!!!  What a treat!

I started the day with a walk with Seth and was surprised by the decorations in the kitchen!

Beautiful flowers from Mom and Dad - that will last the year!

Digital cards from my friends :-)

Outdoor birthday party - complete with special guests... the puppies!

Piper, Fozzie and Hershey!  

Happy Birthday Eliyah!

 Everyone keeps being creative to get some celebrations in!  Justin celebrated Eliyah's birthday at an outdoor dinning place in Cambridge.  He did tell us they were very covid safe - although he did tell us that he and Eitan shared an ice cream?!?

This was also the first time we had Eitan back in the car since before COVID.  So fun to have him back!!!!  Both Justin and I were super excited!
