Brian has been travelling...
In the last few weeks life has been a little crazy...
We did a pancake breakfast at the school which tuned out amazing. We all had a great time, volunteers and staff/students. With a little effort I was able to get the pancakes and real maple syrup donated and the rest came together easily.
The kids are now registered for spring swimming and Easton in spring basketball. Hadley is still considering her spring sport of choice.
There have been some play dates with the neighbours, a hole in my van tire, hockey practice and playoffs, and Hadley achieved her level 5 badge for skating!
In the last two weeks Brian has been to Las Vegas, USA then Cape Town, South Africa followed by Johannesburg, South Africa. He was home for 15 hours between travel from the USA to South Africa, where we balanced sleep for the un-slept, a hockey practice, a birthday party that Easton was invited to for Andrew from his hockey team, laundry for Brian and a little girl with a fever.
Then there was just over 50 hours between South Africa and where he is this week. In those hours we balanced a hockey practice where Brian went from airport to ice, a hockey game, a birthday party for Hadley's 10th/my dad's 60th, a birthday gathering at Brian's moms and a skate with Brian's cousin Adam and his little boys in Listowel for Paddyfest. Then Brian was off on the way home from Listowel to Boston the last three days with a delayed flight to Toronto last night that led to a hotel stay rather than a home stay because his flight was early this morning to Edmonton.
He must be so jet lagged.
In the last month to paraphrase Brian: We were in the Western hemisphere. Brian was not. We were in the Northern hemisphere. Brian was not. We were in winter. Brian was in summer. But are are still only a slack message or a video call away.
