March, Part 1 ~ Mar. 4 -18th

So, March was pretty rough. It involved either working evening shifts on weekends, or hospital visits almost every day to see my Dad until I got sick, just in time for Spring Break... that will be Part 2. :) Thankfully we did have a few highlights, including seeing Nora's friend and her mother, my friend. :) Julie is always so kind to even bring lunch to my home; such a treat.

 Both Nora and Anna enjoy playing with their dolls,
especially as they own the same Asian ones. :)

 It is great to have them take off together upstairs, not so shy anymore,
and then see what they get into. Here they felt the need to put pj's on!

Obviously on one of my evening shifts, Scott felt the need to play with his camera doing ?action shots... it is even more fun to do when one of your subjects is a pirate.

 Remember the days when you could still fit in a basket?
Given her small size, Nora may be remembering that until she is 12!!

 Thomas gives free rides...

 Meanwhile, Charles attempts to study.

Scott and Nora went for a walk one Sunday afternoon, to our local neighbourhood cedar mill, I guess to practice some more jumping?!

 Our view of the Fraser river.

Meanwhile, I visited Dad prior to my shift... tons more of these types of photos present on his blog that I have still been working on regularly.

The following Friday night, we enjoyed dinner out to celebrate Scott's parents' 60th anniversary... WOW!

 With Louise and Mom.

 Scott, with Dad and Doug.

 Walter & Donalda, a beautiful couple.

 A Saturday morning visit with Dad, enjoying some space outside of the hospital room.

 Visiting mid-week with Thomas along.

 Scott visits Dad another time, during flu season... masks required of the unvaccinated.

 And this new photo shows Rosie's new hair trim,
compliments of Nora... look to the black part of her "mane"
 I subsequently hid all the scissors...
